On the kickoff it mentioned about the Lockheed Simulator, where can I download a copy ?

Thanks for the help,

Re: What is the best way to use a FRC game simulation?
Yeah,
I heard FIRST was making it's own engine this year, and (I hear from the elves at my team) it should be due this week/next week.

As for where it is, I'd venture to guess it would be on FIRST's website.

Look for a link on a FIRST web page in 2-3 weeks.

To help you plan for this season's version, think of the simulator as a 6-player, 3D, match-level simulation that simulates matches between modeled bots that possess generic lunacy bot capabilities. Each simulated bot can/will be controlled by one user. Simple computer-player abilities will be available (to stand in for missing human users) too.

In addition to being fun, we hope that this year's version helps teams prep for the pacing of the real matches, and helps driver's practice their "Where do I go next, and when do I go there?" decision-making (obviously practicing these will be more important for inexperienced drivers than for returning drivers) (and just about everyone is inexperienced at driving on the Lunacy floor...).

Also, some regionals and off-season events might use 5th Gear to put on mini-competitions and shower the winners with glory, adulation and bodacious swag. (Don't read too much into this... It's not a cryptic hint that investing hour upon hour practicing with the simulation is a path to the Chairman's Award - It is just an innocent heads-up that some regionals may have some fun mini-tournaments or similar activities.)

Benny - That's an interesting rumor - If I promise to be discrete, can you help me track it back to its source?

Re: What is the best way to use a FRC game simulation?
Bacon has for the last 3 years played a human simulation version of the game during the first week of build. It isn't a video....but it is a lot more humorous and really does help us with strategy. It also gets the younger members to realize just how much it takes to program a robot and points out many things they wouldn't have thought of otherwise. And did I mention...its pretty funny to watch.
