Too bad my nook can't download android apps

Simbotics did it first.

I cant find the app on the market?

Just realized something: My mentor (Mitch Kahn) is the co-founder of App Delegates! I'll go talk to him about releasing the game manual early! Maybe not that, but it's pretty cool finding out your mentor made an app for FIRST.

For those of us behind firewalls please post a copy of the Blog's text into this thread. Thanks.

sorry, first time doing a Bill's Blog:

Flash Update II
Good Morning Teams,

The new FRC Android and iOS apps are now available on line. Don’t know why that’s exciting? Read my November 28 blog. If you have an Iphone, search for “FRC Manual” in the App Store. If you have an Android, you can use this link right now. The App is expected to be available in the Android Market soon.

The Apps currently show the 2011 game information and will automatically update after Kickoff with the new Game Manual. Our thanks to Enable Training & Consulting and Appdelegates for their work on these Apps.

The encrypted Kit of Parts Checklist has been added to the Competition Manual page on our website.

3 days until Kickoff
See you then!

I like how they broke up the sections and that there is a section specifically for penalties. That will make it way easier when you are debating with other team members on how the rule is to be interpreted. I also like how the field layout is in its own section so you can just look at a picture of a field. This will help me explain to non-FRC people what the game entails without spending 5 minutes looking up the manual online.

Yay FIRST got it right this time. Now hopefully I will get push notifications the second team updates are released.

upon looking through the app, i thought someone made the mistake of loading this years game... sadly no, just more breakaway...

I love the fact that under "Video's" you can watch 7 different "FRC Mastery" video's. How awesome is that?!
