Could we have a new forum to discuss this year's challenge please? For example, the Test Levees thread does not really belong under Robot Adventures.
Also, do you know anything about the usual forums? The US section on the global site has links to forums but no way (that I can find in either IE or Firefox) to access them. In previous years the forum was a hive of activity by this time.
24 Sept: The forums are now linked from the FLL site. You need to register at http://forums.usfirst.org/register.php and then the FLL forum is at http://forums.usfirst.org/forumdisplay.php?f=24 (not intuitive: I found it by a search on FLL.)
Finally, the global site only works properly in IE. Could you please report that to the appropriate person. The quick way to see what I mean is to click FIRST Quick Links at the top - that only works in IE.
