Re: Kitbot build day for rookie FRC teams

2. Will Labview CDs come in the KOP or need to be downloaded?
3. Will the rookie classmates have CD/DVD reader?
I can't speak for sure about this year, however I can base my answers off last year's kit hoping it hasn't changed TOO much.

1. The classmate had an image on it including OpenOffice, Labview, Windriver, and Netbeans. Unless FIRST has made major changes, I would assume the image will be very similar.

2. Two years ago, the Software bundle included 2 DVD's which were used to install anything you would ever need for programming(Labview(and cRIO imaging tool, etc.), Windriver, etc). I don't remember exactly how the software bundle arrived last year, however I don't think it was very different with the exception of the thumbdrive that was available to reimage the classmate.

3. As the classmate series are netbooks, they do not have CD drive. I would not expect any difference this year. However, I heard somewhere that any laptop could be used as the Driver Station this year(speculation on CD maybe?), so that could make it easier for teams to keep programming and driving separate.


hope that helps.
