Hi Fellow FRCers,
We have published an iPad app called FRC Info that brings together what we thought were the most important documents to read to get up to speed on FRC for new mentors and students alike. It also makes it easy to pull up rules, hardware docs, etc. during build season.
The choice of documents was based purely on what I thought was most useful, but I'd LOVE to have input from the whole community. The FRC website is a bit spaghetti like with links to external websites (with a lot of "404s"), etc. and that's why we did the app: to get the info all in one place.
The app itself can be auto-updated with new documents from the web at any time (and we'll use this for the 2012 game info in January). I've already found some additional docs on C++ programming I will add, but I'll add whatever the community deems useful. The app can handle the following formats: PDF, HTML, PPT, Word, MP4/MOV video and JPEG/PNG.
To get the app, go to the app store and search for "FRC Info". It's free (of course!)
The URL is: itunes.apple.com/us/app/frc-info/id476623932?mt=8. (It's not a link because this web board software does not work right with itunes links
).
Thanks!
