This was just posted on Bill's Blog:
Good Morning Teams, Rockwell Automation has again agreed to generously donate components we need for the 2012 FRC season. Check it out. You may find it very interesting. ![]() Taken From - http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/2011...me-hint-1.html Thoughts? |

I can see a lot of that is stuff that is always on the field. Would anyone who knows the field in detail be kind enough to separate the new from the old?

Very High Speed Counter, you say?
I think I like where this is going. |
Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
My thoughts:
-It's getting close to kickoff! -This list will be analized extensively by the CD comminity. -There will 1001 ideas on how the items will be used on the playing field. One observation: They are not waterproof, so no watergame this year :( |
Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
Blue lights Amber lights Green Lights and Red Lights...
Red blue green for FMS but the Amber Light??? |

Would equate to 10-12 per field, depending on how many spares kept on hand. Brings back memories of the good 'ol days of jamming goals with balls... ;) |
Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint

Lights are tricky... they could be an integral part of the game (poor example: king of the hill! race to the lit-up amber section!), or FIRST could have decided to turn on some amber lights during the end-game period to make it more obvious to everyone watching. |
Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
The quantities of each item are also quite interesting...

Have they been used in the past? If so what was the use? 500 all together I wonder why so many.. |

500 Sensors equates to ~26 per field, which isn't all that many. Edit, just reread the list, and it's only 250 complete counter assemblies (13 per field). One sensor sends an IR beam and the other receives it. |
