[BB] Not the Game Hint

Good Afternoon Teams,

On Monday I announced the new Manual format and am delighted by the number of people who have gone to check it out. For those of you who asked, yes, a pdf of the manual will be available in an encrypted version before Kickoff so teams may download it in advance and avoid the kickoff rush. For all your other comments and concerns, please visit the Online Manual section of the Beta Test Forums because the staff involved in this project are monitoring those pages and are answering questions there.

As your team plans for build season, (and if you haven’t started to plan for build season, now would be a very good time to do so) make sure you build in a cushion for unexpected delays and setbacks. FRC is not planning to grant extensions to the build season for weather delays. FRC is a microcosm of the real engineering experience. Just like in the business world, your local climate is one of the many elements you must factor into the equation as you set your schedule. Plan now, how will your team handle bad weather, unexpected power outages, cold and flu season, delayed shipments and anything else that might crop up during build season? Businesses have to adjust to unexpected setbacks in order to meet their deadlines. How are you going to respond?”

As your team plans for competition season, you may want to visit the Steele Meetings/FIRST website before you make any hotel arrangements. http://www.steelehousing.com The program offers best in class pricing and value added amenities. Plus, your participation in this hotel program will help support the local FRC regional events.

Tell everyone you know, FTC is looking for a full time engineer.

37 days until Kickoff
See you then!
