Greetings Team Main Contacts:

We wanted to remind you that important FRC updates are posted daily on Bill's Blog.  This week, please see Bill's Blog for updates on WalMart's Orbit Ball inventories, 2009 robot wheels, bumpers, and more.  You can link to Bill's Blog from the FRC Community section of our website.  Look for the link that says "Bill's Blog" under the 2009 Game Logo.  Remember to check back frequently for the most up-to-date FRC details!

We would also like to announce that WPI has created an exciting Think Tank website where members of the FRC community can post articles on any topic related to the FIRST Robotics Competition.  This site is unique in that it is driven by the FRC community.  Subject matter experts appointed by FIRST monitor the site and approve new articles.  Anyone may view the entire site, but only FRC team members may submit and rank articles. 

As your team’s main contact, you have been given the power to grant access to this site for your team members.  You are the only person who can give access to your team members so please,
