Handbooks (Downloadable Documents for FRC)

[TheCrayButton]

Yopyip will be coming out with some downloadable documents for anyone in FIRST robotics. They will be written by some experienced mentors and students in FIRST. I hope you support us so we can support FIRST!

Great to hear! I really like YopYip and this will be a nice addition.

Don't rehost the Game Manual by request of FIRST

Yes, someone PLEASE host, or at least post pointers to downloadable documents, preferably in pdf format. I can't find many of the control system documents, such as the Getting Started document in a downloadable format, and find the new online format FIRST has been using, maddening, and just plain useless when you don't have access to a connection, and you need or want to study the info. The apps, for the most part, also don't do me much good, as you have to keep zooming and scrolling...just too frustrating to try to read. The old PDF format was MUCH better!!! PDFs can have TOC and search, so NO advantage in the current format!

There is nothing stopping you from downloading the actual documents:

The game manual website has a "save as PDF" button in the upper right corner.

As for the WPI getting started with the 2014 control system, there is a download manual (PDF) button down on the left:

The other tabs (KOP, Mechanical, Software) also have a range of PDFs
