FIRST is aimed at those girls on your team. They don't know anything about mechanics, or electricity, or programming, or machining. They have no interest in it, either. They're perfect candidates for FIRST. - Madison [more]
This is a 2 page summary I will have Ref's use for reference during competition. It is a slightly modified version (Amy's) ranking the penalties in order of most to least awarded from week 1's competitions.
Here is the form that Paragon will be using on Thursdays when gathering general information about robots. Feel free to use it and let us know if there are any suggestions for other data to gather.

This Java applet provides teams an easy way to calculate height and distance at various points in a trajectory. It includes an accurate representation of air resistance and source code. Enjoy.
To open just the applet, open the classes folder, then the file "projectileMotion.htm"
Following in the work down by Aidan Brown and some others that made a ref cheat sheet in 2005, I made a easy reference guide for 2006 penalties. A knowledge of the rules is expected and this is intended as only a reference guide.
I think I got all the penalties on it correctly, but please PM me if...
