We have deployed two small bugfixes:

1. The rotation rate limit for dropping a cloud has been corrected from 0.1 rad/s to match the manual at 2.3 deg/s (0.04 rad/s). 
2. A bug has been fixed in the final win bonus applied at the end of the race.  This error was introduced in a previous bug fix during the Alliance phase and did not affect previous matches.

The submission deadline for the warmup period has been extended to Wednesday, November 14 at 23:59:59 EST.  We encourage you to make use of the additional time to test strategies with the Leaderboard.

Today is the Zero Robotics Alliance Draft Day.  Full information for joining the meetings has been e-mailed to all teams.  If your team is unable to join the conference, please e-mail zerorobotics@mit.edu immediately.

Congratulations to all the teams that completed the 3D competition.  We have started our final results processing and will release the information for Alliances tomorrow.  Until then the competition results will be hidden.

The ZR servers are experiencing some difficulties today due to issues with Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud.  If you are unable to log in or experience any other problems, please let us know, and we'll do what we can to help.
