We couldn't say anything until after the official announcement but wanted to make sure you understood the implications. FIRST Championship in Houston (where we advance) is pushed back from April to mid-July. Regional Partners (that's us) have the ability to extend their season until June. For those of you on the coach calls you may remember us mentioning trying to have State Championship later than the first week of March. This announcement makes that possible. It also means we need to talk about timelines with Mega Leagues. All back to the reason there is no MO/KS Kickoff on Saturday - we're still planning!
Today is REV Robotics 6 Year Anniversary!!! 🎂 To celebrate, the ENTIRE REV Robotics website will be 20% OFF, while supplies last. 🎉 Don't miss out, sale ends tomorrow Sept 9, 2020, at midnight!
FTC Kickoff and REVaversary in the same week? We can't contain our excitement! 🦖 Insert robot dancing here:

The REV Control Hub is available for all teams. This replaces the phone on the robot and cuts down on possible loose connections. This would be a great time to upgrade if you have a phone that is now illegal.
This season the following Android phones are no longer allowed:
ZTE Speed
Google Nexus 5
Samsung Galaxy s5
This season we also phase out support for the Modern Robotics Core Control Modules:
