FIRST has significantly changed the layout of their website for 2016.
COMPETITION MANUAL PAGE LINK. Members of Team 1915 will have to do their homework to ensure success. For starters, all team members must read and know the rules. The unencrypted Game Manual and an encrypted version of the field drawing package have been posted online!
Field Tour Videos are posted too.
Other important FRC links will be posted below, as I learn about them:
2016 FRC Control System : EVERYONE on the team should know the control system components, the name of each component and its basic function. Build team electricians and computer programmers should know these documents very well, and use them on a regular basis.
Various teams of engineers will be posting useful videos/comments on the "Robot in 3 days" webpages. Team members should subscribe to these sites and follow the progress of the various engineering teams.

2015 FRC Pneumatics Manual. Probably still quite relevant. And a Pneumatics Presentation.
Motor Power Documents. VEXpro does a nice job of explaining DC motors, power, etc, very directly.

Comments are welcome, particularly those that recommend good, basic additional information sources for FIRST robotics. Please keep in mind that all comments will be moderated, and that this blog is designed to provide technical information to help high school students and their mentors learn the basics on how to build a FIRST robot. Thank you.
