Week 5 – SpecCheck
This is one of those opportunities that few teams in FRC get to have as Jon gets the 2019 final Inspection List right off of the press. It gives your team notice on what needs work – a full week before the Week Zero Events.
Todd Kruse and Chris Roadfeldt will be on hand as CSA’s. They will go through your code, test out your team’s connectivity for this year, and will help to ensure that your team will not be sitting idle on the Thursday of your regional.
Bring all that you have to be inspected including bumpers and any other devices/manipulators that you are hoping to get attached to your machines.
Sessions
There will be limited/no sessions at this event as of Friday, Feb 8. There may be some impromptu training, but nothing planned.
Thanks!

Bag Day Extension
Many of you have written or called Ken Rosen and myself about an extension to bag day. Ken had an extensive exchange with Frank Merrick emphasizing the build delays caused by the recent weather. Frank declined to change bag day explaining that each of the 3800 teams has some delay whether it is product shipments, exam schedules, or, simply, mechanism designs that need to be reworked. Sorry.
Regards, Mark Lawrence
Chairman, MN FIRST Regional Planning Committee
