I am happy to inform you that a new Tip Jar Video Blog for FRC has been posted at FRCMastery.com.

I’ll be adding new content and videos regularly throughout the competition, so I’m seeking video, code and idea contributions from participants, mentors and suppliers to make the site as comprehensive as possible. Please email me at ben@enabletc.com if you or your team is interested in collaborating to help all teams build better, more efficient robots.
