Official FIRST Team Update
This is the official FIRST team update #1. For the pdf file, go to www.usfirst.org/robotics/doc_updt.htm
The 2004 FIRST Robotics Competition January 13, 2004 TEAM UPDATE # 01 2 of 2 Add new rule G27 as below. <G27> A robot cannot pin (inhibit the movement of another robot while on the carpet) for more than 10 seconds. If a robot has been pinned for 10 seconds, the team with the pinning robot will be told by the referee to release the robot and back away approximately 3 feet. Once the pinning robot has backed off by 3 feet, it may again attempt to pin its opponent and, if successful, the 10 second count starts over. If a referee determines this rule to be violated, a 10-point penalty flag will be thrown for each violation. Section 6. The Kit Please DO NOT e-mail FRC parts directly for any missing or broken parts. FIRST asks that you please follow the instructions listed in section 5.3.1 of “The Robot” in your manual. You will only have until January 16th to inventory your kit and notify FIRST. After that, parts will no longer be available. FRC Parts has received several Kit of Parts Checklists from teams that are missing parts and we apologize for the mistakes and thank you for your patience and understanding. The remaining items will be coming to you shortly. FIRST is having a problem with supplies of some parts that teams seem to be missing and we ask for your continued patience. • SMC Pneumatics parts – These came pre-bagged directly from SMC. We will try to accommodate any missing items from this bag if possible. • Spacer Bag – We have a very limited supply left and have found that many teams are missing these items. Please be patient and we will get them to you soon. • LED’s from the Small Electrical Bag – These are not a crucial part to the kit and can be purchased anywhere if needed. Look for these documents to be posted very soon. • MMH Order Form • Batteries Plus Order Form • Spec Sheets • List of parts that will NOT be available at any FIRST event Section 7. The Tournament Modify 7.4.4, the 2nd bullet as below. A maximum of four matches will be played; if, after four matches, neither Alliance has two wins, match 4 will be replayed until an Alliance has 2 wins. |
