WPI will be hosting a training event that will showcase the 2009 FRC Control System on Saturday, November 15 at 1:00 EST. What is particularly exciting about this event is that you’ll get to hear from the designers of all the code, utilities, and hardware that will be part of the new system. Presenting will be:

- Chris Jennings from FIRST – FIRST Robotics Competition Engineering Projects Manager
- Brad Miller – WPI - developer of C/C++ versions of the WPI Robotics Library
- Thomas Dohse - National Instruments - developer working on the LabVIEW version of the WPI Robotics Library
- Eric VanWyk - designer of the Hardware Breakout Boards and the new Power Distribution Module
- Beth Finn – BAE Software Engineer - developer of the C/C++ Vision library

We will start at 1:00 PM EST on Saturday, November 15 at WPI in Worcester, MA.

The event will be webcast for all teams to view. Details will be available on http://first.wpi.edu as we get closer.
