I was wondering if anyone out there has found the spreadsheet FIRST showed at the kickoff to keep track of all your used materials for inspection time. Thanks,

Jason,

FIRST promised to email that spread sheet to the main team contacts (along with the “yearbook” form). To the best of my knowledge, they have not done this yet.

I think all teams should start making their own spread sheet just to keep track of stuff and include it into the documentations of the robot. It might be annoying at first, but believe me it’s going to be much easier when you are trying to put together the spread sheet at the last minute the day before the competition. Plus it’s good practice documenting everything for your robot so everyone on your team know what’s going on.
