This is an old revision of the document!
Table of Contents
This page is about a checklist for a toolkit of important things to be carried by or available to programmers or drive team members at FRC Competitions. Some of these things should be considered essential, some are nice to have. Discuss.
Note that some of these things might be critical to the rookie team or alliance member team that your team is trying to help out. So consider having two kits: one stays in your pit or with your drive team, the other can go with your outreach and assistance crew.
USB Stick
A usb flash memory drive “stick” containing:
- latest FRC Game and Season Manual pdf
