Update 11

I remember seeing the video of Wildstangs alliance and though zomg that's a pretty cool way to guarantee 30 points. I like how they specified the legality of the '07 controller so now most vet's will have a spare.

It is amazingly cool to share the field with teams like Wildstang and the Thunderchickens. They were really graceful to us as a rookie team last year and made us feel at home. Actually, the little plastic chicken trophy we were given by the Thunderchickens is our teams favorite piece of memorabilia. (AND it squeaks! )

The effort that Wildstang went to in helping to get films made for the Blue Alliance has benefited a LOT of teams.

Make no mistake, these are some of the teams that make up the backbone of FIRST and their creativity on the field and off has benefited a ton of kids. That's what is important.

I'm a little surprised that they didn't have much follow up to the IR board issues that were mentioned in Team Update #10. There's a link to the master code, but no instructions on how to download it to the actual IR board.

Our IR board did experience the symptoms described in Update 10, but we were able to reflash the firmware after reading the posts on CD about it. But shouldn't these download instructions (with an ICSP cable) be documented on the FIRST website as well?
