**FIRST EMAIL**/Invitation to Beta test the New Control System

[Karthik]

Just a reminder to all Beta Test teams. In order to get your controller you must sign the FIRST disclosure agreement. This form "indicates your team agrees to disclose information on the new control system when FIRST gives permission to do so during the beta testing process and not before." (Bolding added for emphasis). So before you start making plans on when and where you plan on holding seminars, remember that we have to wait until FIRST authorizes us to release information. I just don't want anyone putting their cart in front of their horse.

Karthik's post needs repeating. FIRST is very serious about disclosures, and the beta teams should remember not to put any information out before they're allowed to- or they could lose their test system. That doesn't benefit ANY of us here.

So, remember...
disclose information on the new control system when FIRST gives permission to do so during the beta testing process and not before.
