Hello everyone. The following is a test launch of newsletters I will be working during this year. The goal of these letters is to keep everyone informed about different discussions the FIRST community are having on the Chief Delphi forum.

Both FIRST and the CD forum have grown dramatically these few years, and the pace and volume of discussions increase along with them. The reason I am doing this is that it is becoming harder and harder to keep up with all the new posts, working with the robotics team, and spend time with family at the same time¡K especially during production period. Therefore I am going to volunteer myself to keep track of all the posts from day to day, and send out these letters to everyone out there, and direct them to the more important/interesting/immediate issues at the time.

I am doing these letters as a non-team member, also known as team #0. If there are any questions/comments, or even something you dislike about the newsletters, please contact me instead of the Chief Delphi members, since I am the only one responsible for any consequences this newsletter might cause. As a non-team member, I promise to be objective at all time, and that I will not be bias toward any side of arguments. I will try to deliver news to everyone out there as soon as possible, but please understand the amount of time it takes to compose these letters.

This first letter will be my first test launch, since I am still trying to figure how exactly I want this letter to be. I am taking advantage of the discussion about limitation of National Competition, because I see the need to organize/clarify the many opinions out there in order for visitors to understand what¡¦s going on¡K
