Greetings Rookies:
Download your encrypted Game Manual ASAP:
The FRC Game Manual will be released in encrypted form early next week. Download it as soon as you can. The encryption code will be announced during the Kickoff broadcast. With the encryption code, you can gain access to the Game Manual right away. If you wait until after the broadcast to download the unencrypted version, your team may run into difficulties and loose time if the website is busy.
You can test the decryption process right away by visiting the 2011 Decryption test page on our website http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/content.aspx?id=11570 and following the directions.
The FRC Administrative Manual (Sections 1-6) is available now. It is a good idea to download and read it now. The Administrative sections contain information that you will need during the season, so familiarizing yourself with the manual will save time and trouble in the future
Save yourself some trouble:
Rookie teams from last year stressed the importance of understanding FRC rules are rules, not guidelines. The weight is a limit. The size is a limit, the wiring requirements are requirements, the robot shipping rules are rules. If you read the FRC manual and check the Team Updates twice weekly (http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/content.aspx?id=450, you improve your team’s chance for success.
We’re here to help:
