We are rapidly approaching the halfway point of build season. I hope all is going well for your team. Keep checking those Team Updates: http://frc-manual.usfirst.org/TeamUpdates/0 and don't forget to build in safety both for the team members who work on the robot and for anyone who will be lifting/transporting the robot. We provided a pair of gloves in the Kit of Parts. Remember to wear gloves when lifting the robot in and out of your practice area to prevent cuts and be sure to use good lifting practices.
2nd Regional Event and FIRST Championship Registration payments are due this Friday, January 27th.
We have been working diligently and the "Save as PDF" function has been fixed on the Competition Manual page: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/competition-manual-and-related-documents
We have added the ability to download all of the Team
Updates to the Game and Administrative Manual as a PDF. We are working on the
ability to download individual Team Updates and will let you know when we’ve
added that functionality.

Just as a heads up, I have tried to use the American, Delta, and Alamo discount code and none of them have worked. Could you please check on this? I am trying to make travel plans and would like the discount, but we can't wait much longer to make travel plans. It's already pretty late.
