You are never behind unless its time to ship the robot and all you have is scattered parts. |
|
|
|
Your engineers are kinda like instruction manuals. You can try to build w/o the manual, but chances are you will end up with extra parts.. |
|

so rather than making all these argument worst, I am just going to say again, "Agree to disagree", and you can yell at each other by e-mail. |

Heck, every human being has the potential to change the world, as long as the world still exists. |

I don't understand why it should matter if your robot is 100% student built, 100% engineer built or somewhere in between. As long as you are Inspired (I word again) FIRST is getting its point and primary goal across. |

It's always nice to have the outside party take a look at your code because one of two things can happen: 1. They write it better. 2. They find your stupid mistake. |

You need to stay on top of your classes or you will be back as a returning freshman on next year's team. |

Getting that degree is the reason for going to college. Failing out of school because you mentored isn't really a good reason. |

FIRST has been a huge shaping factor in my life to date, and undeniably was one of the largest sources of opportunities for growth in my life for four years, but I've remained myself throughout and prefer it that way. |

Right. I had posted pre-breakfast (always a bad thing for a growing teen like me...) |

So I was looking at this design, and something just screamed at me: "DESIGN SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR THE SEASON! THROW BOTH BALLS AT ONCE!"
And then I realized it was just the Mountain Dew speaking. |

If you want to make change, you have to know what you're trying to change. |

This is good, because high school students seem to have an impressive ability to fry any electronic system you put in front of them... |

Part of Gracious Professionalism is the Professional bit. Doesn't matter if you're a volunteer or a staff member, a failure of this level in the real world would result in getting fired. |

But then again, no one's robot ever is fully working to how they want it before the first tournamant. |

If many American schools can build stadiums for school football teams, it seems reasonable that they should be able to pay the FRC entry fee every year. |

Bah, we walk to Altlanta, from California, uphill, through the snow, both ways. You sunburn quite easily like that. |

By the end of week six, I'm sick of looking at the robot enough that stuffing it in a bag is rather cathartic...:rolleyes: |

This is consistent with our surprise at finding that Baltimore SPS weighed in our crate at 262 lb as opposed to the 500 lb that FedEx claimed weeks before. This is more evidence that Athena kept herself occupied between the Regionals by working out inside her crate. |

Many would say it is both gracious and professional to make sure your robot will not damage another team's robot. |

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

It wasn't about winning or losing, it was about us not giving up. We were able to show our rookies a valuable lesson; that it's not over until it's over, and that you shouldn't give up. We may have a broken cRIO and a broken arm, but we also have a finalist award for the 2011 Cow Town Throwdown. |

I think FIRST is a big trap. They lure you in with these cool competitions and shiny robots and along the way they trick you into learning something :) |

I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised. |

If none of this works, beat your head against the wall and scream, "I HAVE A DREAM... THAT ONE DAY, LITTLE ZEROES AND LITTLE ONES WILL FLOW FROM MY COMPUTER TO MY ROBOT CONTROLLER." |

remember FIRST is just an extracuricular activity in which most of the work is technichan's work...what gets you into college are good grades and a good course load...as my mom always said, "getting good grades gives you the freedom to chose to be whatever you want and go wherever you want" |
