Re: [BB] The Manual may look a little different

I like the format, someone spent some time on it I can see.

Two specific issues I have noticed:

Blue boxes don't have enough of a border around them, the white characters 'leak' into the white background.

The image quality is too low, they are blurred. This may be an artifact of the 2011 manual being only a test, but my old eyes have a hard time with it.

Anyone have ideas on how to offer this feedback to FIRST? I don't want to just e-mail Bill, he's got enough to worry about.

I just noticed the "New Manual Format" forum at the FIRST forums. http://forums.usfirst.org/forumdisplay.php?f=1540

Re: [BB] The Manual may look a little different

Neat, I was surprised how easy the new format is to read on a mobile device as I was expecting that it would look like garbage and I'd end up just dumping the PDF onto the device like previous years.

Nice Job!

Re: [BB] The Manual may look a little different

I tried it on my iPhone today for a bit. Pretty nice--though I'm a little hesitant to dump PDFs (especially for the post-Kickoff crush).
