Good Morning Teams,
I know it’s easy to get focused on the robot during this last full week of build season, but don’t stop paying attention to the updates on the 2009 Control System web page. You need to have the latest software updates in order to compete and you don’t want to be downloading them on the first day of competition at your Regional or District Event. Here’s what’s available right now:
LabVIEW for FRC Update 3.0a and newer
cRIO FPGA Image FRC_2009_v11.Zip and newer
WPI Robotics Library 3.0.1718 and newer
Driver Station 2009-02-010a3 and newer
Plus, we’ve just added How to use the FRC Control System Camera on 02-09-2009. Check it out, it can be a big help.
If you have questions or issues, leave a message on the FRC Forums (good for technical issues) or drop FRC a line at FRCteams@usfirst.org (general information questions). They’re the place to go for accurate, up to date information.
14 days until Week One Regionals begin,
See you then!

It would of been nice to have the FRC Camera document in a PDF or a WORD 2003 format.
None of the computers available to our team's programming group recognize the .docx file. Count another vote for having the documentation available in a standard format that can be read on any platform. PDF would be fine.
Not all the teams are looking at either this blog or the controls website on a regular basis. I would recommend that either an email or a section in the updates mention the controls updates or there will be lots of teams who will not nothing about it.
Microsoft offers a compatibility pack for modern versions of Office from their website at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en
For those without Office/Word installed, Microsoft also offers a free viewer at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=3657CE88-7CFA-457A-9AEC-F4F827F20CAC&displaylang=en
Additionally, modern versions of OpenOffice have the ability to read the docx format.
Hope that helps,

Another vote for having the FRC Camera document in a PDF or WORD 2003 format so most people can read it.
