Read, I think it's important! Mainly for the Mechanics. : )

Found this at the blogspot today, updated [http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/]
Good Afternoon Teams,
Here at HQ, we’ve spent a lot of time testing the new control system wireless components lately. You may have heard some concerns using Bluetooth technology, so I want you to know the FRC wireless is 802.11n based. We’ve been working with Calence (a wireless system integrator recommended to us by CISCO) and OctoScope ( a local company with wireless testing expertise) to test our field management system and wireless communication under multiple extreme conditions. We’ve been able to run up to 18 robots in a single Overdrive field without interference.
And talking about controlling your robot, when you construct your team’s operator console this year so that it will fit on the 60” wide by 12” deep shelf of the alliance station during competition, give some thought to stability/security. It won’t be required, but I strongly suggest you put some hook tape on the underside of your console. Each shelf will have loop tape ready and waiting for you.
Do you have other questions about or comments on the New Control System? Go to the forums to connect with the Beta teams and designers.
16 days until kickoff!
See you then

Another post on the blog! D=
Good Morning Teams,
FIRST delivered 1089 New control systems to teams who requested early shipment. If you didn't arrange for early shipment, your control system kit will be included in your kit of parts.
And don't forget to keep checking www.usfirst.org for updates. We published Section 4 this morning.
Still 15 days until kickoff
See you then!
