2005 FRC Team Update 21 Available!

[dez250]

The 2005 FRC Team Update 21 is now available on the Team Updates page or directly at Team Update 21

This update covers the issue of stacking and unaligned stacks on the goal.

[Jeff Rodriguez]

I'm very glad this is out before championships. Good job FIRST.

[Alex Cormier]

yes, it's a very good catch.

[Collmandoman]

I totally disagree with this!!!!!!
because SIDE-STACKED tetras DO change the fundamental laws of physics!
oh well.. I do personally believe the side stacking tetra defense would have been an interesting strategy to watch.

[slickguy2007]

Mad props to the person who had to write the verbal explanation for this change.


GO 1403!!!

It is great that FIRST addressed this before it became an issue, now drivers will be able to stack more freely ( I don't know if that was proper English or not) with out having to be afraid of not nesting the tetra correctly and losing the goal. Thank you FIRST.

[Chris Hibner]

First of all, this is a great change. I'm glad FIRST came out with this update. FIRST really has done a lot of great things this year to address many of the issues that the teams have found.

Secondly (as someone already pointed out), whoever wrote this update deserves a big pat on the back. This was not an easy thing to explain, yet the update is very clearly written and easy to understand.

FIRST: Great job all around!

This is an egregious example of a comma spliced sentence. Please rewrite.... And thank you for caring. (Or were you simply wondering whether the update were written using proper English? )

I think the wording on the update was great.

Thanks, Since it is my senior year and we do next to nothing in my English class I seem to be getting dumber. And i caught a nasty case of seniorities (sp?) and have become lazy. Thank you for the helpful link though.

Oh, the Ross family and their grammar (Yes, I know that was a sentence fragment )

[Goldeye]

I really like the fast responses they've been making to new issues as they are found. The professional manner they've been dealing with fresh topics as we near the championship is very impressive.

[AIBob]

Wow, 3 in six days, FIRST is really running through these.
FIRSTsearch has been updates with the update of course.
Don't forget you can use FIRSTsearch to go when at the Championship.

PS:Also Don't forget to use Real/Time Match Results & Comments for during the competition, submit comments, match results, and get alerts when new ones come in, or read all the data available

[Travis Hoffman]

Wow, this is wonderful stuff! I love effective communication and the elimination of confusion that comes with it. Great job FIRST, and again, thank you for listening and responding so quickly to recent important issues!

there goes the idea of nested tets.... the judges at UCF just scratched their head when we tried to see what their ruling was lol
