"SAFE. That's what the car says. WHO, I repeat, WHO, thought that putting me in this car without my SAFETY GLASSES would be SAFE????"
Andrew Lawrence

It's a good thing he's not his team's driver!

Man, the 2004 season was brutal w/o bumpers.

This is a metaphor for why you don't let freshmen drive the robot.

Some teams will take drastic measure to get their robot to fit inside of the box.

A classic example of why FRC limits robots to 120 lbs!

Dave Lavery's replacement on the GDC releases his first game hint.

This picture of a robot without bumpers needs no Caption.

Take the controls they said, can't go that badly they said. I beg to differ.

Not even pool noodles and plywood would have helped in this situation.

We decided to throw ourselves into robotics. Unfortunately, for the car, FIRST is the hardest fun you will ever have. Results shown.

Mark Plant's prior knowledge of crashing a moving thing into other moving things has become rather useful during his NASA Glenn internship, although having experienced the glorious carnage of such collisions firsthand, he does have to resist the urge to hold a demolition derby with their prototype rovers.

Sometimes, even Chief Delphi gets sick of robots and looks at other things instead.

You know you have overdosed on FIRST when this is a result of a G33 violation.
JaneYoung

Mark: Have you guys seen my keys? I think I left them somewhere around here.
J.Warsoff
11-10-2011, 08:46
Mark, I think we should put the training wheels back on before you go test this thing again.

OK, that was fun, but next time we are definitely using mecanums!

This is why the referees started awarding teams red car(d)s when they didn't follow the rules.
Molten
16-10-2011, 00:35
Don't worry, its ok. The car has the word "safe" wrote on it. Go on about your business.

So begins the futile search for usable COTS parts.

By "minor repairs," they mean duct tape, WD-40, and zip ties. That stuff really DOES work...
Billfred

Apologies for the invocation of the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule--after 10 hours with the team yesterday, I was hosed!
