What is openFIRST?
The openFIRST Portal System is an integrated set of modules which may be
used together to create or enhance a web site. It is directed towards
teams participating in the FIRST robotics competition. The openFIRST
Portal System is a completely student-developed project that has had
contributions from a wide variety of teams from Brasil, Canada and the
United States.

openFIRST is developed by a number of students from the FIRST Robotics
competition teams #1006, #1049, #781,

Nightly Builds
By popular request, we have enstated a nightly build system.
This allows those who do not have CVS clients access to the latest
and greatest openFIRST code. Things in the Nightly Builds may not
work as expected, and may not even work at all, but it's the easiest
way to keep up with development, and be on the leading edge of
openFIRST. Also, there is a nightly build available with
all openFIRST packages.
See below the table for a compatibility notice (applies to users currently using versions of openFIRST written prior to, or during. August, 2003).
