Re: [FTC]: Getting started in FTC

I recommend downloading a 30 day trial version of RobotC and reprogramming your FLL missions. Most FTC teams that I have met use RobotC, and this would be a great way to learn it. You can configure RobotC for the NXT platform or the NXT/Tetrix platform.

You might also purchase a Logitech controller from parts.ftcrobots.com to start learning remote control operations. RobotC installs some excellent programming templates.

You can view http://ftcforum.usfirst.org/forum.php without being on an FTC team.

You can register for the 2013-2014 season on May 15.

Re: [FTC]: Getting started in FTC

Also if there are any local FRC teams around. You might want to ask if they still have there FTC kit that they received for the 2011 season. I'm sure if they are not using it that they would be willing to give it to an FTC team.
