Re: Bills Blog 10-25
1. We used to record the live feed, cut out most of the speeches, and watch it as a team a few hours later (dedicated members and mentors would watch the whole thing live). The pre-recording isn't a big loss to us, but an explanation might be nice.
2. Critical Dimensions would be really nice. We were super confused this year to find that the peg heights weren't spelled out anywhere. It basically said "If you cut these pieces of PVC, and insert them into T's to the same depth we did, you will end up with a rack of the correct size".
3. Vex releases a full field model, in STEP format and a Solidworks eDrawing ( a CAD viewer + CAD file in a single executable). The eDrawing even includes tools to measure things, without even having CAD software. Just saying, FIRST could learn a few things from Vex.
