Team Update #7
... is out.
http://usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Team%20Update%207.pdf Nothing really major, just an announcement on 5th Gear and some things that hadn't been added yet and should have been, like the kids under 12 rule. |

Re: Team Update #7
Don't forget the new rule - R82.1. The corresponding document hasn't been published yet but it looks like there is a required rework for Driver Station ESD immunity.

Re: Team Update #7
I like how they've clarified the rules on the trailer hitch placement and it's need to be removable. It's something that we assumed for a while but you know what they say about assuming things

Re: Team Update #7
Why is there a link to it then?? Seems silly to make a rule without providing the "this is how you have to do it" explanation.

Re: Team Update #7
Yeah, the .NET framework is taking forever, but I'm assuming it's still running.
EDIT: I urge that people be patient with the first part. It takes a while to work, but it works out in bout half an hour. Last edited by ttldomination : 27-01-2009 at 20:45. |

Re: Team Update #7
Agreed. It's posted now. It was up about 3 hours after the Update. Which means that FIRST managed to post the docs for a presumably vital ESD protection procedure about 3 hours after a link to the silly 5th Gear simulation software. But given that it took until the 4th week of build and several months after the release of the hardware for them to even notice the problem... That might not be too bad.

Re: Team Update #7
Just as a note, I believe when the wrote Section 6 - The Game, they meant Section 7 - The Game
PS. I just lost the game. ![]() |

I think they need to go back, hit the "Accept all Revisions" button, and reprint the PDF. |

Re: Team Update #7
Does anyone know how to play it? I got it set up, but all I can do is fly around while the orbit balls are thrown onto the field. No robots.

Re: Team Update #7
Profuse apologies, my good man. No slight intended to your good name or works. I merely wished to point out the somewhat odd priorities in evidence at the FIRST website. Namely, that software to simulate virtual robots was made available prior to instructions to preserve actual robots from harm.
