If you use an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch, then I’d like to inform you that there is a new app that was released yesterday that is now available for download.
When not building a robot, members of team 624 have been working an application that is a convenient source for accessing the rules and regulations among other things for the 2010 F.I.R.S.T Robotics Competition.
Version 1.0 was just approved by Apple and made available on the iTunes App Store, but you are required to have 3.1.2 firmware on your device. Version 1.0.1 should be approved in the next few days and it will allow you use the app on devices that have 3.0 firmware and up.
Thanks, just downloaded it. It is great to have a pocket rule book. The whole manual printed takes up a whole binder and 2.7 trees worth of paper! Do you plan on making the updates accessible to?
If it’s possible, could this application be made available on the Android market, as well? It would be awesome if Android users could also have access to the application on their phones.
All of the updates will be available though the app store, but unfortunately it will have to be re-approved which is pretty speedy lately. There is also a lite version coming out that is called FRC Breakaway Lite that can be downloaded over the 3G network because it does not include the animation. I am also sorry to inform you that we will not be devolving for any other platform, we have already spent too much time away from the build and need to get back to our robot and studies.
