Hey Fletch,
I'm a member of a rookie team in Michigan. There was a mix-up and we didn't get our rookie kit right away (we still got the parts veteran teams get). Later we got the rookie kit , and, to our dismay, there was no USB key. We still don't have it and I decided to be proactive and look on here. I saw your link and just lit up, and then error 404. My computer couldn't find your webpage with the downloads and if there is any other way for you to post it I would be eternally grateful.

I would love to help you, however for reasons explained previously in this thread, I have chosen to remove the files from my server. I'm sorry I can't help too much with that. My only suggestion would be to install the driver station software on another computer for testing(possibly the one used for programming), and wait for FIRST to send you your missing drive.

If I can help you with anything else, feel free to Private Message me, and I'll be glad to.

Fletch

P.S. - I'm sorry to hear you guys have been missing your rookie kit for 3 weeks now. I'm not sure how you're doing it haha

The rookie Classmate should not need to be imaged. It does come with an operating system doesn't it?
I would think that the image stick you get is only for system recovery.

Veterans need it only to upgrade their Classmate operating system from XP to Windows 7.

yes it did come with an OS preinstalled, however, following FIRST's instructions includes imaging the classmate(even the rookie instructions stated so). It is easier to just reimage it than to try to find out what software is missing and install it all manually(LabView runtime, DS software, etc.)

We received all the software necessary, that's why we can use any laptop we desire to run the Driver Station, the Classmates are optional this year.
