I wish they had come out in the holiday season, I know I would want one as a gift, and can think of more than a few people I would give one to as a present.

I am also looking forward to this book. Being relatively new to FIRST, I only just read the old versions a few months ago and was impressed with the information they contain. I think it will be a great reference during the build season for younger teams, so they can see what is really possible with FRC robot design.

As to your wish, I think FIRST should sell vouchers or pre-orders for the new book before the holidays. That would still make a great gift even though you won't have a copy in hand for a while. In addition, this would allow anyone who really wants a book to ensure they get one without any concerns about the entire print lot being sold out (as I have heard happened with the previous books). The track record shows that this book is going to be at least as good as the last, so I personally am ready to put my order in right now without seeing the finished product.
