Good Morning Teams,
We’ve tracked down some of the field delays to an issue with the interface between the new radios, the old radios and the field management system. You can still use the WET610n radio, but if you are using it, please give the lead queuer a heads up when you’re in line to take the field. The FTA will have a specific boot up sequence for your match.
There’s another Jaguar update available here.
Is this your last week? When you complete the Fedex bill of lading to ship your robot back home, be sure to check the lift gate box under Assessorial charges if your school/workshop doesn’t have a loading dock. If you forget to check this box, delivery of your robot will be delayed. If you do have a loading dock, don’t check the box.
To be proactive about potential delays at Championship, we’re currently looking at expanding activities during the Wednesday night load in for teams. The times will remain the same (we’re constrained by pit area set up, robot crate delivery and GWC staff availability), but teams will now be encouraged to encrypt their radios that night. We’re also looking into making inspection stations available during Wednesday night load in, but until I can confirm the inspection stations will be ready and enough inspectors will be available, I’m not promising that option yet.
Teams wishing to take their robot home directly from Championship should contact FRCteams@usfirst.org to make arrangements.
You don’t have to pack away your robot after Championship. Instead, consider holding your own Post Season Event. Information on borrowing an official FRC field is available here reservations are first come first served and fields are limited.
21 days to Championship
See you then!

I just love* how when all the ref's pay attension to one thing only, like when they count to three all at the same time and then on the other side of the feild something bad is happening something that someone should be flagged on but sinse they are all too caught up on ONE thing they miss it and someone gets away with something terrible. I also just love* it when they say they have one rule but then they just let it slide for no apparent reason. I think that if they actually took the time to teach the ref's and volunteers properly these things would not be accuring and it would be a lot more fair to everyone. These mis-haps need to stop because most of the time they are the reasons that teams are losing teams that are going by the rules and doing their best, and its not fair to anyone that these teams who are playing fair and right are loseing simply because the ref's arent calling what they should be calling. I'm not saying that they are doing a bad job, I'm saying that they just are not doing their job right.
