There is not a clear starting point for rookie teams or those new to FRC to find information about the control system.
Under "Game and Season" there needs to be a "Start Here" or "What to do First"
I visited 3 rookie teams and one 2nd year veteran team in my area this past week after the kickoff and not one person at these teams knew about the "Getting Started with the 2016 Control System" from WPI. There is no mentioning of it at a high level. You must already know its name to be able to search for and find it.
You try it! Pretend you are a rookie and try to find help on what you should do, step by step, to set up your control system starting at

It is not under “Manuals / Game Q & A”
It is not under “Kit of Parts” (This is where it was located on the OLD usfirst.org web site)
It is not under "Technical Resources"
You can find it under “Resource Library”. But down 3 pages pass all the Position Summary for the volunteer jobs at the competition.
Some of the team member said they had looked at Resource Library but “there are too many documents”
Remember we were all a rookie once.
We need something that the rookie teams can find very easy that gets them started without them having to already know about it.
