Re: [FTC]: Email Blast: FIELD MANAGEMENT FORMAT FOR FTC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

As emmell said, those rolling carts are very useful at the internationals. With the long walk from the pit area to the field, you will grow tired of carrying the robot (and now laptop) and whatever spares you might need at the field. We got one for last years internationals and just made everything move much easier for our team, especially during the eliminations when we couldn't get back and forth between the field and the pits for extra parts.

The test case of Florida certainly makes the concept look like it will work very well. I didn't hear of many problems at all from Florida, so I am optimistic about the FMS format for Atlanta. I am just worried about having so many robots running at once, we will see how the bluetooth will run with so many active connections. Hopefully everything will run as smoothly as it did in Florida .
