Re: Support Bots?
I think that robots will definitely be playing "support" roles this year, but for most situations, I can't imagine the benefit of having a robot dedicated to it. In most cases I think support will be...

Re: FIRST 2016 Game Manual Mistakes
I already answered this at your other thread, but this is NOT an error because the "depth" in the manual is referring to the distance across the moat.

Re: Manual error
Read it again. They say that it is 2 1/2 inches high. Depth is referring to a different dimension - specifically, the distance across the moat.
And if in doubt, just look at the pictures...

Re: Secret Passage

Re: Live Streaming and Recording of Events
I don't think we ever used the cheap camera for an actual broadcast. We're using the GoPro again this year because we wanted to use that widescreen webcam on our robot instead.

Re: Making sure EVERY Team can do Auto
It may be that you can score two Container Sets during auto:
If you got 6 containers into the auto zone then this rule would imply that there are 2 Container Sets at the end of auto.

Do you mean learning how to program an FRC robot, or learning to program in general? That's a good first step. Do you have any general programming experience yet?

There can be a fine line between intimidation and inspiration when it come to the elite in FIRST. Those teams who have committed to setting the bar for excellence in ways that change the culture, help to draw that line and deepen it. - JaneYoung [more]
