Winning the robot part of the competition is not about learning or doing unneccesary work. It works just like "winning" in industry. |

You are given a goal with some simple restrictions. That's it. No one really cares how you get it done, just the fact that you get it done. |

now now, there is no such thing as reading the manual too much. I read it every night just before I go to bed. |

you are going to gear that down right? Otherwise your robot will take about 10 minutes to reach its top speed of mach 2.6. |

My favorite question of all time asked by "outsiders": How much does/did that thing cost? How can you put a price on the hard-work and dedication it took to build these machines? |

If robotics is bad for you, well then I guess I'm gonna die. At least I'll die happy. |

If you water it and nurture it and fertilize it and put it out in the sunlight, it might just grow up to be a big lathe... :) |

If by hazardous you mean thinking about robots 24/7, waking up at 2am in the morning to jot some ideas down, completely losing your social life, and staring at a computer until your eyes hurt, then yeah! :D |

I wanted to make an epoxy/carbon fiber/fiberglass arm for our 'bot, but I was outvoted by conservative teenagers. Oh well...

Like many researchers before me, I look and read about what my peers are doing and developing, and then incorperate the best of them into my ideas or change my focus because of them. |

Yes, it can. You'll have to ask the lawyers around here whether it's legal or not. |

We tried to get clear aluminum, but it was on back order. They said it would be in by March 3, 2150. |

The version that finished nationals was about 50% aluminum and 50% the original PVC and we never had any member break. (structural member, not team member). |

Maybe we should put one of those advisory signs: "Don't try this at home ... or at Robotics competitions" |
