Update 15
Team Update 15 is up. There's a lot of important info in this update and teams will be relieved to hear that "spare battery assemblies (battery, lugs, connectors, shrink tubing, and/or electrical tape) will not be included in the Withholding Allowance weight limit."

Re: Update 15
never seen the GDC put so much effort to cover their buts in an update before :)

Re: Update 15
Thank you GDC...thank you!

Re: Update 15
I had faith in the GDC about this battery "issue"
that twitter thing sounds really cool, and it sounds like someone REALLY needs to make a FEED DECODER and get some nice scouting database of all the teams, hopefully that would be updated in real time (: |
Re: Update 15
thank you GDC for realizing the issue at hand AND following through in correcting it..

Re: Update 15
Excellent update that should clarify a number of questions/concerns for many teams.
Strangely they decided to cut off the list of event codes at Week 4. All the codes listed match the official FIRST event codes so here are the codes for Week 5 and Week 6: Code:
Week 5 |
Re: Update 15
CYA Policies aside, you have to admit that it's pretty hard to get things right on the first try. Don't forget, we've been breaking this rule for 2 years already, and I don't think anyone knew we were.
I'll still bring the Advil to competition, but for a much different reason :p I have no clue how to use Twitter :( Sounds like an offseason thing for me. |
Re: Update 15
I never thought that Twitter would be implemented to this extent. Not a bad thing though. The formatting is going to take a little to get used to because of the letter combinations. My first look at, "#FRCArchimedes TYP P MCH 99 ST T TIM 120 RFIN 33 BFIN 27 RED 9994 9995 9996
BLUE 9991 9992 9993 RCEL 1 BCEL 1 RROC 9 BROC 6" made my brain scramble a little. I'm sure after reading a few of the updates, it will make more sense though. Overall good update (loving the Allowance Exception). |
Re: Update 15
Can one or more of you young twitter experts please post a paper or something to help us old guys out?
Thanks |
Re: Update 15
I think the GDC has done a very good job of explaining the situation and applying a solution which is fair an equitable to all teams.
They should be applauded for their action, not because of the result but by making a timely decision based on an evaluation of what would be best for FIRST. When the question about batteries was posted in QA they had no choice but to answer the way they did. Rules ARE Rules. I especially appreciated the comments regarding our signatures indicating that we are playing within the rules. This is the kind of professionalism that FIRST is about. Sure anyone can cheat ..... there are always ways to do that.... no matter what the checks against it are.... Thank you GDC for recognizing, in writing, that we are the ultimate judges of our own compliance with the rules. thank you Now let's play Lunacy and have some fun.... |
Re: Update 15
Can someone explain what this means???
WPA Encryption Update: As announced in Team Update 13, FRC will be implementing the use of WPA encryption at all FRC events in 2009. Each team must have their WPA encryption checked before they play any match, including a practice match. Once the WPA encryption has been confirmed, teams will receive a white sticker, which will then gain them access to the Competition Field. The stickers are available at the WPA table, which is located in the pit near the Inspection area. The WPA table staff will be able to not only check the encryption for teams who set it themselves, but also help teams who have trouble or are uncomfortable setting the radio parameters. February 24, 2009 When you go to the table to have your WPA encryption checked, you must bring with you, at minimum, your team’s robot radio. You may bring your complete robot, but in that case, must also bring a battery. The table will be available into Thursday afternoon. Thanks. |

Re: Update 15
If you have a working robot at the event, then you have what you need. Just bring it to the WPA table to have it checked.
