Re: Removal of Low Bar Fabric
I liked the flaps they installed at NC. They were basically layered duct tape (maybe gorilla tape). The nice part was they still flexed like the cloth flaps. After the fix they lasted the rest of...

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
My prediction is that the extra file size is due to the rack/wall/goal we will need to build in the center of the field. Two days we'll know!!!

Re: FRC 2016 Game Manual

Re: Full encrypted manual?
Most likely it won't come out till next week. My prediction is 1/6/16. The type of encryption they use can be cracked within a few days on average so they only release it a few days before kickoff....

That would be cool. You would need to spend 10 sec or so of teleop to position the robot in the correct spot before Auto. I could see many teams needing to utilize the Estop if the robot was not in...
