I thought the old Mabuchi motors were the old FP motors. FP is on the new list alongside this new Mabuchi motor.

There was an additional Mabuchi given to us in 2002. "Mabuchi" is just the brand, we'll have to wait for someone like Paul Copioli to get us the specs since, historically, FIRST has been slow with that.

No need to shout! I'm sure there'll be at least one team at your competition who will lend you a battery or two for the finals.

But check out section 7.6.3 Competition Matches:
This list includes both Friday and Saturday matches and provides information as to when teams will participate, with whom, and against whom.

It looks like we definitely still have some form of alliance!! no 1v1v1!! It seems like they were trying to keep the possibility in section 9, but missed it in section 7

If you read on it says:
Scouting: Teams often use the list for scouting other teams and their strategies. This is especially helpful when choosing alliances for the final rounds

Unless the team you're participating with is no-one.

I say the possibility is still open for 1v1v1. We'll know for sure, soon!

Re: 2005 Manual

I see that in section 7.16 (TEAM ACCESSORIES CHECKLIST) in the manual, that a Clock is an additional item for in the pit area.

Well, let me offer my services for that duty, as long as it is not at the Rochester, or NJ regional, or The Championship Event. I am bound to Team 237 for those events.

But, if you want me to be your team Clock in the pit, then I will be glad to be an honorary team member at any other regional.

For details, PM me.

Thanks!





*Note: All airfare, hotel fees, and other fess must be paid for by said honorary team acting as the adopter.

Dave, you list has the ONLY spare parts that will be available at events. I'm glad to see that the globe motor is back.

Glad to see FedEx is donating shipping again.

Another change to the Chairman's Award format. I guess we shall see how this pans out. 1.0Mb is not alot to include 4 photographs in.


Most of this has been tweased out already, but I think it is most of the interesting things.

Re: 2005 Manual

Has FIRST indicated what kind of forum they will use for team updates this year? I'm not talking about the formal updates once or twice a week; I mean where you actually post questions and answers? I assume it will be similar to last year's?
