Rookie USB stick
The computer provided in the 2017 Rookie Kit of Parts comes preloaded with an existing Windows install. The computer should not be reimaged and no image is provided for doing so Veteran teams may not need to image their machines, but should see the section on Image Download if they wish to do so.
Rookie USB Stick
As the computer comes pre-loaded with Windows, the Rookie USB stick does not contain an image as it has in prior seasons. Instead it contains a copy of the LabVIEW DVD contents and pre-downloaded copies of Eclipse for C++, Eclipse for Java and Steamworks DLC packs 1 and 2 (Pack 3 was not available in time for inclusion).
Teams should follow the Getting Started with the 2017 Control System pages, and simply skip download steps for components they already have on the USB drive. Note: To use Eclipse, teams will need to download the Java JDK in addition to the FRC specific plugins.
