Greetings All from Team 1370
We just received our edubot. There was one CD in the pack “MPLAB IDE”
I have tried to use the resources on the F.I.R.S.T. site and most of the links do not work. How many Cd’s should be in the pack. Am I missing one?? Were can I get one. Who should I call?

I believe you should only have one CD. It includes a (could be nicer) program that will navigate you through all the steps to setup a programming environment. It also includes some very good documentation. As for the default program, that you will have to get it from InnovationFirst’s website.
Rob,
One CD… Go to http://www.innovationfirst.com/FIRSTRobotics/ for a tutorial and the latest in documentation.
Is there anywhere where I can download MPLAB IDE? I get a few results from google, but am not sure if they are what I’m looking for. So if there is a legal way of obtaining the software via the net could someone please provide a link?
Thank you all help is appriciated. 
This has already been said before, but anyway, you can download MPLAB IDE legally from microchip.com, but not the C compiler that goes with it. The full version is on the CD, and you can download a trial version from microchip.com.
