I have a mirror of the encrypted document on [LINK REMOVED]

Also what about a bittorrent download of the manuals?
No, just download the encrypted one now.

Do what Andrew said, and then you might want to take a look at Dave's post about mirroring (and the posts that follow).

Re: Before we start - PLEASE read the Manual!

And while this thread is here:

Please, please, please, please read the thread title and the first post.

I know it seems faster to create a CD account and ask the question here (and have it given to you in 15 minutes or so), but it's not! It's much faster to use a PDF reader's "Find" feature to do a little bit of research in the Manual. Besides the facts that a) anything said on CD is not official and b) just asking without indicating that you've looked is likely to get you hit with either a "Read the Manual" or a "Search before you post--there are 47 threads on this topic already and it's answered in the Manual" as the default responses.

And, as a more personal note: If I don't see any sign of some rules-knowledge seeker having looked in the Manual, I tend to only give the rule number and a very short summary. If someone has actually looked, or rather gives some indication thereof, I'm much more likely to quote the rule, along with the reference and my interpretation.

Re: Before we start - PLEASE read the Manual!

is there a way we can grab the entire manual in a downloadable pdf format that is not broken into parts? If there is one I can't find the link any where.

Re: Before we start - PLEASE read the Manual!

1) Go to the entire manual web page (same path as before).
2) Select a section of the Game Manual (any section will do).
3) Click on the heading "Game" at the right side of the page.
4) Click the "Save as PDF" link at the top right.
5) Save the PDF that pops up.

Repeat as necessary for updates.

Re: Before we start - PLEASE read the Manual!

With the new season upon us yet again, I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of this thread.

Please, please, please, read the 2013 FRC Game Manual before you come on here and create new threads! No one likes having several pages of new threads all asking the same basic questions that can be answered by the simply reading the game manual.

I would also like to remind everyone of FIRST's stance on mirroring the game manual documents - posts and threads that contain links to the mirrored manual will be deleted.

With that said, good luck in 2013!

Re: Before we start - PLEASE read the Manual!

After going through this year's build season and getting to competition, its actually astounding that there are teams that probably didn't read the manual at all. Hopefully everyone learns this lesson and does a little reading come next January.

Re: Before we start - PLEASE read the Manual!

Pranav,
I can tell you that maybe one team at each regional came in with a robot sized for last year. Midwest had three, they were sure dimensions would never change so they just skipped over that part.

Re: Before we start - PLEASE read the Manual!

Besides Reading The FIRST Manual (RTFM) please read the Updates BEFORE you ask any questions.
I've seen several Q&A questions that the GDC refers to an update that was posted before the question was asked.
