Ship day is coming in 8 days. ? Terry Wells from Xerox has given me a Programmers Cheat Sheet that can be shared with your teams. ? Make sure that you comply with the battery information in Section 6. It was addressed in team update #7. ? Team Update #8 is out: http://www2.usfirst.org/2006comp/Updates/Team_Update_8_Feb-10-06.pdf ? With Ship Day quickly approaching just a reminder to check the FIRST Website for shipping information. http://www2.usfirst.org/2006comp/Manual/6-Robot_Transportation_Rev_B.pdf Information on shipping to a specific regional can be found at the page for your specific regional event. I am enclosing the link for the Southern California event. http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2006/regional/shipping/SouthernCaliforniaShippingandDrayage.pdf ? Is there a team that is close by the Forum that can loan us your ramp for the practice area? ? I will have some new information for teams attending the Southern California Regional as the event nears. We will be dropping off equipment on the other side of the ramp so we do not have to deal with the curb. Teams will also enter from the other side of the venue. I will have a map attached in a March Newsletter. ? *Reminders:* § *Don't Forget to contact Fed Ex before ship day. * § *San Diego Pick Up Game Feb 18th *rmainier@xxxxxxxx, ** § *Pre-Ship Scrimmage Feb 19th *ms.wooten@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx* * Cost:$100 made out to *SCRRF* if *received by Feb. 10th* Otherwise, $150 but it must be *received by Feb. 17th* * * Nancy McIntyre Eagle Engineering #1138 Chaminade College Preparatory 7500 Chaminade Ave West Hills, CA 91304 818-347-8300 818-348-8374 fax nmcintyre@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
