Kickoff Password?
I was downloading the new driver station and I need a password to unzip it. Does anybody have the 2013 password written down?

Random Question Guys: Why does FIRST actually encrypt/ release the manual before kickoff when it is impossible to crack the password?

The FIRST website is normally overloaded directly after kickoff, making it impossibe to access the game manual. This puts less pressure on their website all at once.

They do it because they know their site would crash on kickoff day if everyone would be trying to download the manual. So encrypting the manual allows for everyone to download it before kickoff so all that is needed is the password, and people who choose to do it don't have to worry about the site crashing and it taking forever.

They also encrypt it so that people who download it before kickoff don't peek at the game.

Re: Kickoff Password?
So the game hints are just for fun? For us to get excited about the game?

They probably like watching us all go crazy with the game hints as well.

Re: Kickoff Password?
It might help to use this year's encryption key.

You two are truly skilled necromancers. Or robomancers.
