Update: Super Regional Championships and World Championships Advancement

Image
Growth in FIRST and FIRST Tech Challenge is wonderful, it means we�re achieving our mission of changing the culture, it brings more students into the wonderful world of what�s possible with science and technology, and it attracts more tremendous volunteers and sponsors. Another thing we like about growth is it continually forces the evolution of the business model. There�s nothing like increased demand to keep everyone on their toes! Our FIRST Tech Challenge Super-Regionals were instituted over three years ago to address the growing number of Regional Championships, and the relatively smaller number of teams advancing to the next level. It solved that problem with great success as we head into year four of the Super-Regional format. This year, the dual Championship model is being instituted with the similar goal of offering more teams the chance to experience the highest levels of FIRST competition. The number of FIRST Tech Challenge teams competing at this highest level will double th...

AndyMark Will Now be the Source for New FTC Fields and Game Elements

Image
FIRST Tech Challenge is excited to partner with AndyMark on Field and Game Elements for the 2014-2015 Season.  That means you no longer have to build a practice field, but can purchase one from AndyMark and have it shipped to you after Kickoff (no Team pre-orders!). They will offer teams a full or half field option and each kit comes with the Field Setup elements and Game Elements. Don't worry, you can still build a field if you want to! But what will they be? Each year, the Game Design Committee drums up a new element that presents a variety of manipulation challenges for teams to overcome. They've chosen wiffle balls, rings, two varieties of racquet balls, hockey pucks and batons, to name a few.  Since elements are different from year to year, teams must redesign their robots each season to accommodate the new item and the scoring objectives. What do you think this year's element will be?  Leave your guesses below and go to a kickoff event , or go to www.usfirst.org/...

Info on Wi-Fi Disconnects for Motorola E4, G5, and G5 Plus Android Phones

Image
The Motorola E4 phone is approved for use in the  FIRST  Tech Challenge. In fall 2018, teams reported seemingly random disconnects between the Driver Station and Robot Controller devices when the E4 phones were used. Note that although this issue was first reported with the Motorola E4 phone, it also occurs with the Motorola G5 and G5 Plus phones.   The disconnects can occur when the Motorola E4 phone is acting as the Driver Station, and an op mode has been selected and initialized, but not started.  In this situation, if the Robot Controller  waits for a  start  command from the Driver Station, the phones might momentarily disconnect and cause the op mode run to stop before the start command is received.   There is a solution to this problem.  It involves rewriting your op mode so that the Robot Controller sends telemetry messages to the Driver Station while it is waiting for the start command.  Doing this seems to prevent the devices f...
