Not really needed: The "FIRST: Behind The Design" books
Art Hare 08 Jan 2009 14:56
There are two books about the top-end FIRST robots, one for 2006 and one for 2007.
2006: http://www.amazon.com/FIRST-Robots-High-Behind-Design/dp/1592533663/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231426262&sr=8-2
2007: http://www.amazon.com/FIRST-Robots-Rack-Behind-Design/dp/1592534112/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231426262&sr=8-1
Since we're well into our own design process, this probably wouldn't help us this year, but it'd be good reading for future years to see how the consistently excellent teams do their design process.
