Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 Kit of Parts
Here are some things that might be bad to put in a tote:
a mouse, a hamster, a frog, an insect, a glass trinket, soup, a small ice sculpture, C4, chocolate, a goldfish, a plant, something battery operated that needs to stay powered at all times, something that is volatile when exposed to air, or a really strong magnet |

Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 Kit of Parts
Thinking out loud...seems like there's a chance that a game piece won't be part of the KoP, so what games could be played without game pieces?
The game could be played entirely with field elements that teams have to build or be based entirely off of robot position/actions without game pieces...thoughts? |

Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 Kit of Parts
Envelope, with 6 buttons inside. Not quite sure I'd class that as "very small", but it's one item.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 Kit of Parts
I may be wrong but I think that the 2 lb increase in Kit Tote weight could be because of the game piece(s). The foam ball last year was somewhat light compared to, say, frisbees.

Does anyone know when I'll be able to download the firmware for the OM5P-AC radio?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 Kit of Parts
I think it will be included in the FRC 2017 Update Suite

Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 Kit of Parts
Obviously they are just giving us more Woodie Flowers themed ringtones like those from the DLCs.

Robo-'res'lin'!
Edit (obviously): Thanks. Manipulating the field elements was a key feature of the game from our in-team speculation that we used for a fall build -- we had "steam valves" for the robots to operate which would trigger motion of field elements. Last edited by GeeTwo : 05-01-2017 at 11:31. |

And the extra drive team button turned out to be for the pilot (of the team-designed virtual dirigible/airship). "Grab your goggles!" "Prepare to take flight!" |

Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 Kit of Parts
Slow clap initiated..... and it could be a game where we manipulate the field itself.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 Kit of Parts
I agree that the first item, the 27 in. x 17 in. x 13 in., 50 lbs. is a tote. This is supported by the 27 in. x 17 in. x 13 in., 30 lbs. item for rookies.
2 in. x 2 in. x 48 in., 5 lbs. is probably some metal, possibly like last year. I could see how the 8 in. x 3 in. x 7 in., 14 lbs. item is a battery, since rookies get an item of identical dimensions. The "very small item" is a mystery. I think there are two main reasons why the dimensions are not specified. If FIRST gives us the dimensions before kickoff to help with transportation, then they think that this item will not be significantly difficult to transport. But I think that this lack of information is a hint. They basically told us that it would be easy to transport, but that specifying exact dimensions would make the item easy to figure out. Based on this, I think the item must be a ball, or something with well-known dimensions. There is also another possible interpretation. FIRST may think that we don't need the size before kickoff, and knowing them, they give us as little information as possible. I think that another possibility that we should consider is that regardless of the size of the "very small object", it is relatively heavy (possibly 10 pounds or greater). FIRST knows that we are in high school, so they want to limit the weight of each item in the kickoff kit to about 50 pounds. This "very small item" is shrouded in mystery, and this is my opinion. What do you think? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Gal |
