Andy Baker can use non-Lunacy wheels on the Regolith.

Andy Baker also doesn't need to trade Empty Cells for Super Cells. The EC's just count for 15 points anyways if he scores them. And putting them through the hole? As I understand it, he just uses a wormhole that conveniently exits right above his opponents' trailers. That's through the hole...

The "A" team has actually won every point in the A vs B game, simply due to having Andy Baker as a member, even though he hasn't posted in that thread. They just choose to let "B" think they're winning.

Andy Baker hasn't posted in that thread because his initials are AB, and it's kind of hard to compete against yourself.

Andy Baker has no need for doctors, as his morals and ethics keeps his body strong like his pigs. When he volunteered at a teaching hospital, one of the med-students who listened to his heartbeat found it so catchy that he put lyrics to it. Thus was born the "Boom-de-yada" song.

It is common knowledge that Andy Baker can cross the line in automode without a penalty.

Andy Baker can simultaneously score all 12 balls into his alliance's goals, grab both partners, and hang onto the tower. He then proceeds to score the balls as fast as the human players send them out. Somewhere along the line, he throws all his opponents onto their tower.

Andy Baker burns approximately 3,000 calories an hour when CADing.

This (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/wfa.php?action=honoreedetail&id=4) is a part of who Andy Baker was and is. There is more. He is the Andy in AndyMark (http://www.andymark.biz/aboutandymark.html). He is also a very nice man and warm human being who has inspired many many people, including but not limited to - students, mentors, engineers, and friends.

(I'd like to take a moment to say how sad I think it is that the WFA/WFFA sections of CD have fallen into near ruin. It does not speak well of us as members and mods.)

Thanks, Jane, for the link and thanks, KeatonM for the question, I have been wondering for a while. Sounds like he is a great example of what FIRST is.

When Andy Baker's kids grow up we may need 3 of these threads.

Also, to anyone else, I highly recommend reading through the Woodie Flowers Honoree pages here. They're full of truly inspiring stuff.

Andy Baker has many sets of game pieces, but he chooses not share them becasue he is testing his robot to make sure it can handle them all...at the same time.

Andy Baker controls the game timer. His minibot is always the first to deploy

Andy Baker inspected my team's robot once. It got significantly better after it passed. (True story: Washington DC Regional 2009)

[Tobot]

Andy Baker's robot is teleoperated by an autonomous robot.

[thefro526]

I once had the pleasure of speaking with Andy Baker - He is one of the nicest, most down to earth people I have ever met in my entire life.

[Chris is me]

Andy Baker's minibot starts at the top of the pole.

[EricH]

Andy Baker's minibot starts at the top of the pole.
No it doesn't.

It starts at the top of all 4 poles. How, you ask? Simple, really. It's Andy Baker's minibot.


Andy Baker's robot has the following capabilities:
1) steal all 6 ubertubes in automode and place them all across the top row.
2) Grab all the logo pieces from his alliance's feeders and score them, top, bottom, middle.
3) Repeat for opponent's logo pieces, middle, top, bottom (gotta get seeding points somehow, you know)
4) Blocks opposing robots at their towers until the endgame.
5) Deploys minibot to the top of the pole at the precise instant that deployment can begin. It then travels partner, opponent, opponent, own pole before the opponent's minibots even think about moving.

Oh, and for the record: The mecanum/omni/nona/6WD drop-omni combination drive has yet to be equaled by anybody. It's also a swerve drive.

Please note: this robot has yet to enter teleoperated period. Andy Baker's gotten lots of coopertition points without his partners or opponents even carrying a minibot.

[Bob Steele]

Andy doesn't need to climb the poles in LOGOMOTION.

He has his own mountain out here in the state of Washington.

Andy Baker is:

Andy Baker is also the Andy in AndyMark, and it's not secret why it's not called MarkAndy (Mark Koors V2 has omniwheels!). (Jokes from earlier in this thread.)

Oh, and a WFA recipient, and rumored to be part of the band Dean Simmons and the Kamen Brothers.

And yes, he can still build a robot to score all 18 balls into the top goal autonomously and then cycle through retrieval and shooting of all of them until putting a double balance on all three bridges (in eliminations, that's a triple balance on his own and a force field to block the other bridge). In fact, he finished it in Week 1. He just hasn't deployed it in competition.

In America, Andy Baker is Andies Bakes. In Soviet Russia, Andy Baker Bakes Andies.

Chuck Norris dresses up like Andy Baker for Halloween.

But only with Andy's permission.....

[Taylor]

Andy Baker can legally touch the Red and Blue Carpet simultaneously.

[Grey Mann]

Andy Baker can make a 10-tote stack... With a recycle container on top... And 5 pieces of litter in the container... And it won't fall over...

[Briansmithtown]

Andy baker eats totes for breakfast.

[Wayne Doenges]

Andy Baker can stack a 6 tote/RC/Litter inverted.

[EricH]

Andy Baker can stack a 6 tote/RC/Litter inverted.
And it counts for 45 points.



If Andy Baker uses a yellow tote in a normal stack, the points double.

Andy Baker can use a gray tote for Coopertition bonuses.

Andy Baker's robot can grab 4 containers off of the step in .045 seconds. By the end of automode, it's got a Tote Stack in the Auto Zone as well as a Container Set. Sadly, the use of the Force on its partners is ruled as NOT counting for a Robot Set. In teleop, the robot takes all the totes on its half of the field and the step and stacks them 6 high, then drops all containers on top, then stuffs litter in all 6. In 39.40 seconds.

In case Andy Baker's Logomotion bot miraculously malfunctioned, his mini-bot was programmed to autonomously score three logos and deploy itself on the pole, with enough battery remaining for a 2.3 second climb.

[JoeyD]

Andy Baker went to Beijing and single-handedly got an entire robotics conference of non-English-speakers to sing happy birthday to a 13 year old from Australia.

*true story*

Andy baker can squeeze the last remaining bits of electricity out of loose wires

Andy Baker build a robot for FIRST Stronghold. It was disqualified for playing Monty Python scenes on speakers. That's when it opted to play "The Knights Who Say 'Ni!'"--and was promptly allowed to compete.

Andy Baker's OTHER robot went under the Low Bar, over the Cheval-de-Freise, through the Moat, under the Portcullis, over the Rock Wall, Ramparts, and Rough Terrain, in and out the Sally Port, and over the Drawbridge, twice each, each time with a Boulder scored in the high goal. It then Scaled the Tower. That's when the Teleoperated period started.

[Richard Wallace]

We have a plan to add scaling capability to our robot, using only:

* three zip ties
* one servo, and
* one special high frequency whistle.

The whistle is a new AM product that we are beta-testing. It summons Andy Baker. When he hears our call, Andy dons his cloak of invisibility, teleports to our opponent's courtyard, lifts our robot with his pinky, and levitates.

Then our robot uses the servo to attach a hook, made from three zip ties, to the climbing bar. Done. :cool:

[Caleb Sykes]

Whenever Andy Baker's robot comes onto the field, the opposing alliance immediately does a triple tortuga out of fear.

[GeeTwo]

* one special high frequency whistle.

I don't see whistles on the list of approved pneumatic devices. Or does a member of the drive team blow it?

A whistle isn't a pneumatic device. Neither is the legal fan that is used to generate the air to blow it!
