FTC Email Blast

I receive a weekly email from FIRST about the FTC competition.  The email had some interesting links on how to manipulate the magnets that are hidden in some of the scoring baton's.  We'll be receiving the sensors but I thought it would be helpful to post the info from the email on this blog.  There is also a link for an FTC forum which should prove to be a useful resource also.

2.    Magnet Sensors

Did you notice that GET OVER IT! has magnetized game pieces? You can buy your Magnetic Sensor from HiTechnic.

3.    IR Beacons

We’ve recycled the IR Beacons from the HotShot! Season, but if you need one for practice, you can get yours from HiTechnic.

Thanks
