Re: A reminder before the big day

I would also like to add to the comment of getting all the sections of the manual tonight and then get the undecrypted copy after the main rush of tomorrow. I would add, check the FIRST website weekly for when they release the manual updates as they will add information that had previous questions about, or change some of the rules. This can become crucial information in your design of your robot and strategy.

Lets just say I printed off the available sections once they were released on the website. And being last year as being one of the two people on the team that read the manual and everyone said lets do this, lets do that, or can we do this, can we do that, and It got tireing after a while since we always were having to correct them because they didn't read the manual and know the rules, and eventually people starting to just plain ask us. I would tell them well it is in the manual, look in this section, it says it there, but they would only look for what they were wanting and not the rest of the manual. So I also heavely suggest that you get the entire team to read the manual to save those that read the manual lots of frustration.
