[CRUSH-build] Fw: **FIRST EMAIL**/2007 Kit of Parts Info

[Bill Bennett]

Wish they would offer more than this, but it's interesting. The NI package 
would be VERY COOL to have, but comes with a price tag I think - we have to 
do some data analysis and report back to them.

Anybody have thoughts about this?

Greetings FRC Teams:

In response to numerous requests from teams and mentors, FIRST and some of 
our partners are offering certain components of the 2007 Kit of Parts early. 
Please read on and follow the links for more information.


National Instruments, a dedicated and valued supporter of FIRST, is 
expanding last year's LabVIEW and data acquisition pilot program to include 
all teams. All FRC event-registered teams are invited to apply. Selected 
teams will recieve the 8.20 full development system version of NI LabVIEW 
along with an NI 6009 USB data acquisition device (DAQ) before the 2007 
Kickoff. Please click here for more information and to apply online:

intelitek is a committed supporter of FIRST and we're happy to have EasyC 
available for download to teams again this year. Any event-registered team 
interested in familiarizing themselves with this helpful programming tool is 
invited to download EasyC for FRC now. There are several tutorials in the 
Getting Started section of easyC's help file to familiarize teams with the 
software. In addition to the tutorials, intelitek has also developed a 
year-long robotics curriculum called Robotics Engineering Curriculum (REC). 
The REC curriculum, for a fee, teaches students the fundamentals of 
robotics. To find out more information please visit www.intelitek.com. Any 
easyC technical or licensing questions should be sent to 
support at intelitek.com. EasyC can be downloaded for free here: 
www.intelitekdownloads.com/FRC2006.


FIRST is proud to announce that FirstFuelCells.com is hosting a fuel cell 
pilot program for all event-registered FRC teams! The pilot, called Green 
Machine, will expose selected teams to hydrogen fuel cell technology. 
Event-registered FRC teams are invited to apply to participate in the 
program. Qualifying teams will recieve a fuel cell with which they're 
invited to experiment and consider various ways fuel cells can be applied 
inside and outside of FIRST applications. (Please note: flammable gasses, 
such as hydrogen, are not permitted in any of the event venues). For more 
information, please visit this website:
