Put together a 10-15 question basic quiz for your teams to take in the first week of build. take the questions from the robot, game and arena sections of the manual primarily and give your team a pop quiz. - It will make you think about the rules more and encourage your students to read them if they are ashamed of poor performance on the quiz.

I completly agree. In fact our team made a test on the manual and made it mandatory to retake it until you pass. Only 4 (out of 20) passed. They now have to retake it until they do pass.

The same goes for our team; you have to take the test until you pass, making it obvious who hasn't read the rules. We actually have an assigned job on the team, the "Rules Guru." Their job is to know the rules by heart, and have the official, completely updated set of the rules that people can go to if they have a question.

is there a way we can grab the entire manual in a downloadable pdf format that is not broken into parts? If there is one I can't find the link any where.

1) Go to the entire manual web page (same path as before).
2) Select a section of the Game Manual (any section will do).
3) Click on the heading "Game" at the right side of the page.
4) Click the "Save as PDF" link at the top right.
5) Save the PDF that pops up.

Repeat as necessary for updates.

I have read the game, the robot, and the tournament sections. I think thats a good start.
