Re: FIRST Behind the Design Book 3.0 (plan)
A quick post to update everyone on this project.

Thanks to all who offered to support a new book. Stephanie and I made a formal proposal to a publisher for the book, and we hope to hear back from them soon on a decision to publish.

We pitched a book that focuses on advancements in the design, manufacturing and control of robots, with five FIRST robot case studies used in each chapter to illustrate these advancements.

If the proposal is approved we will detail a process to solicit FRC case studies in the following areas: Design (using CAD tools for design, simulation and analysis), 3D Printing, Computer Aided Manufacturing (other than 3D printing), and Control (including hardware and software).

The requested information will include an explanation of the innovation and images (photos, graphics and screen-shots) that illustrate the application. I realize that accessing information will be difficult due to summer vacation, but we will have to work around that.

More to follow on this as we move ahead over the next few weeks.

Thanks - Vince and Stephanie
