Oh my that thread was amusing...
BOOOM!!..hehehe...

This is my third year on the first circut and i have to say to rookie teams is that its all fun, u get out there (especialy at nationals at the einstien feild) and see all those people are there cheering and yelling and u get a rush of what might happen and u try to tell urself to make sure u dont screw up and then the buzzer goes off, and u go out there and all goes queite except for the guy next to u and u realize then u made it this far and you proved to urself u can do anything. That is how i think of these compitions. Rookie teams, feel free to ask q?'s cuase that is the best way to learn.

Saving weight on the code
 

I found that you can cut down the weight of your robots code by simply removing all the comments in your program. Find every instance of a line with an apostrophe before it, and delete it. I cut 2 pounds of my robots weight last year by doing this. Also, the drivers dont really need all 4 joysticks -- one joystick and a wire was good enough for us - 3 joysticks weighed alot, but now we have room for more helium baloons. At last count, we weighed in at negative 4 pounds.
