Please try to apply GP to situations where it makes some sense, as otherwise you're just diluting the meaning. |

They just kind of sit there chilling, like "Hey I'm a trailer, where's my robot?" |

Last I checked the Mars Rovers don't play any defense either and that's pretty cool stuff. |

I think rovers on Mars are way cool but you won't get a crowd of enthusiastic participants cheering as they trudge 150 meters a day. |

Just think outside the box but inside the 28" X 38" X 60" rectangular prism and you may come up with a solution. |

...the great teams in FRC will probably continue to be great teams. That is because they have great people who embrace the challenge rather than whine about it. |

...And thank goodness there are powerhouse teams out there... they set a great example and inspire the rest of us to greater heights. |

its kind of a bad idea to implement traction control when you have no traction in the first place. |

Don't just assume that because you can modify an existing design that you are an engineer. |

I'd say it is somewhat addicting. But I think that is a good thing. It proves that knowledge can be addicting. How cool is that? Now, if we could just get everyone addicted to knowledge, just think of what we can accomplish.:D |

However, the best responses come with patience. It might be a couple of days before you get a good answer or it could be 10 minutes. |

Well, there goes my strategy of blowing out the opponent and then committing flagrant safety and sportsmanship violations to keep the margin close :D |

Overall... the secret is PROTOTYPING! Design is an iterative process. Do some basic design in your head. Build it. Test it. Improve it. Repeat until satisfied. |

You definitely know you've overdosed on first when you wash the aluminum shavings off your hands AFTER you eat dinner. |

but eventually it seems that we realize that there's an I in FIRST, and the I stands for Inspiration, not for "me" |

The difference between a Tinkerer and an Engineer is that the Engineer will be able to tell you the results before you start. |

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can AND WILL be held against you (AND YOUR TEAM) in the court of public opinion.
So choose what you do wisely. |

By the end of the year, I have a feeling that I'm going to know much, much more about the intricacies of orbit balls than I ever wanted to. |

I know you've finished the first 75% of the robot, but do you have enough time left to finish the other 75%? |
