Re: Discussion: Release Team Field Drawings Early

I agree with others that we don't need them early, we need them better. Some of the measurements on the 2015 and 2016 drawings were just baffling. If FIRST wants to help with this they need to give directions instead of just drawings. Give out documents that have bill of materials, suggested tools and work instructions, along with the drawings.

Another thing they could do is give Andymark(and/or other companies) the drawings as early as possible, with an NDA, and then let Andymark figure out if they can make and sell a flat pack version of the kit they can sell before kickoff so it shows around kickoff for the teams.
