Throughout the years, we have found free, useful information for other FIRST teams on the Internet. Here are a few of our favorites:

Chief Delphi
*Recommended* A must-read for anyone interested or involved in FIRST or competition robotics in general. Includes helpful tips and discussion on everything from pneumatics to scouting to fundraising and more.
