WPA Encryption Update:
As announced in Team Update 13, FRC will be implementing the use of WPA encryption at all FRC events in 2009. Each team must have their WPA encryption checked before they play any match, including a practice match. Once the WPA encryption has been confirmed, teams will receive a white sticker, which will then gain them access to the Competition Field. The stickers are available at the WPA table, which is located in the pit near the
Inspection area. The WPA table staff will be able to not only check the encryption for teams who set it themselves, but also help teams who have trouble or are uncomfortable setting the radio parameters.
When you go to the table to have your WPA encryption checked, you must bring with you, at minimum, your team’s robot radio. You may bring your complete robot, but in that case, must also bring a battery to be able to compete.
The table will be available into Thursday afternoon.
Thanks.

Similar to how your robot had to have your team number programmed into the driver's station/robot in previous years, there is an extra layer of security this year that you must have programmed/set into your robot before you plug in to the playing field.
