Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Future of FRC Additional Information

I'll try to record it and post it soon as I can so we don't have to wait until those who are at the event to report about it.

...It's NASA, so I'm allowed doing that, right? Works of a government agency are public domain, right?

Edit: never mind, they're posting videos at noon.

Has anyone seen a download link to the announcement or training sessions yet? I am doing my best to be patient, but I feel like a Kid in a Candy Store.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

The WPI FIRST Resource Center is currently still in its initial beta stages and has plans to become quote a massive repository of FIRST resources and information. As such, it seems like the resources that were supposed to be on this page haven't been uploaded/linked to yet.

But I was able to find (what I think you are looking for) on the NI website.

I'm certain this is an almost overwhelmingly large projects to undertake. I am also not surprised that everything didn't just pop into place, and in time will be provided.
Again, I am just very excited at the future possibilities and want to start learning everything NOW!

Thank you, but I had already found those and, sorry to say, they are not what I was looking for either.

Let me explain what my presumptive mind "thinks" I should be finding based on this statement in the e-mail:

Quote:
One hour training sessions for teams in C101

* 11AM, 1PM & 3PM Thursday
* 9AM, 11AM, 1PM & 3PM Friday

Two hour training session for Mentors in C101

* 6PM Thursday

If you’re unable to attend, log on to http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/robotics...a-finals-2008/ to see the live broadcast or visit www.usfirst.org/frccontrolsystem after 12 noon EST to find videos of the announcement, the demonstration, the team training and the mentor training plus links to more information.

In my mind, it says that video presentations of the two different training sessions would be available along with the video of the announcement and demonstrations.

That is what I have assumed would be there, and so far, that is not the case.

Luckily, I have found the 30 day trial version of LABView and 11 tutorial practice modules. For now, I have enough to get started learning. (You see, I have never used LABView, even though it was one of the resources given to us in the KOP for the last couple of years, silly me!)

Agree Bilbo - I've been looking for the videos since Friday as well. I suppose they're all busy with championships. I hope they get them up soon!
