Sorry to add this out of sequence but...
I highly recommend that you check the First website well in advance of your next event for software and firmware updates. They may not be needed at your next event, but it would be better to have them if/when you might need them. This list might include cRIO firmware, Labview, DS, C++, and Java depending on your implementations. Be prepared for any old thing!

I am surprised more people haven't come on and stressed this so here goes...

Read the Manual!
Don't look out the window of the bus until you have read the latest version of all sections. The Arena is at Rev D, The Game is at Rev M, and The Robot at Rev K. Read the Robot twice.
