Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Invitation to Beta test the New Control System

Team 79 received ours late last night so work on it will not even begin until later tonight. The digital sidecars are not expected to arrive until Thursday so testing anything requiring motor controllers, relays, or even just a pwm connection (excluding solenoids) cannot be tested until then.

We are currently finishing our team beta controller website where we will post all information produced by the team, including whitepapers, photos, videos, diagrams, notes, issues, etc. A lot of this will be posted to the required FIRST repository, but everything will be available to anyone who wants it.

Schedules were due to be posted to the beta-program-only forum yesterday so I would assume this information will be showing up on the FIRST forum shortly. The schedule FIRST gave the teams seemed rushed at first, but now that we have not even received our entire controller to test, it is going to be nearly insane for the first few tasks. Expect a lot more information to disseminate after teams have completed their bench-top tests and ironed out general controller functionality.
