How Does Support for FIRST work?

 

There are several resources available for answering your questions related to FIRST.  Currently there are discussion forums available at www.ni.com/FIRST which are monitored by National Instruments Applications Engineers.  There are also a host of documents and videos that have been created for your benefit available on the website, covering everything from getting a motor running to activating LabVIEW.  The FIRST organization's website also has numerous documents to help answer your questions ranging from the 2009 competition rules to technical resources.  During the build period from January 5th through February 17th technical phone support will be available to team leaders Monday through Friday between the hours of 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM CST.
