Folks - please take the time to read through the entire manual - at least once. It is quite informative. If you try and cannot find your answer, then, from "Section 2 - Communication":
2.3 GETTING ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
First will utilize an on-line Manual, starting in 2004, including a web-based question and answer system. To submit a question to FIRST, you will have to log in with a password. Each team can obtain its password within its team record in the Team Information System (TIMS).
To ask a question, you will have to specify the section of the Manual for which you need clarification. Teams will be able to view questions and answers sorted by date or Manual section. (The Game, The Robot, etc.)
Access the question and answer system at

Thanks,
Aidan
