The above link is a MUST READ (actually an FTP site with many great docs) for teams that are just starting to build their robots (kitbots + control systems + transmissions +...). Some folks from OK teams 476 and 1750 put together an AWESOME set of Getting Started documents. These materials were used in a handful of Robot Quick Build Sessions immediately following a few remote kickoffs.
PLEASE make use of these great docs!
Big thanks to the OK folks!!
