something to think about while I'm off for Veteran's Day
Good Morning Teams,

I’m excited to announce that this year, FRC is offering a Coopertition™ Award. Details will be in the awards section of the FRC Competition Manual coming soon. Also new in 2010, the Driving Tomorrow’s Technology Award will become the Engineering Excellence Award (still sponsored by Delphi) and Autodesk will retire both the Visualization Award and the Inventor Award in order to introduce the Excellence in Design Award (with expanded software options).

If you’re getting excited about the 2010 season, you may want to tune in. WPI will be hosting a webinar on the 2010 FRC Control System on Saturday, 11/14, from 10AM to 3 PM EST. Webinar participants will be able to ask questions directly of some of the system developers. Participation is free. More details can be found at http://first.wpi.edu/Workshops/frccon932.html.

Back, on September 29th I posted a link to the rookie/veteran kit variations document on the usfirst.org website. Today I can clear up the TBD. The 2009 robot radios have been proven to work with the new system so veteran teams will be asked to reuse last year’s radio.

And don’t forget to visit the safety page of our website where the new FMA contest is posted.

59 days until the 2010 Kickoff
See you there!
