Join FIRST mentors Andrew Schreiber and Chris Picone (via videoconference), Wednesday November 20th at 9pm EST at Tampa Hackerspace (3104 N Armenia Ave Tampa, FL 33607) for a two-part presentation - Brave Little Toaster to Scoring Machine: Fielding a Competitive Robot on a Budget. The focus of this presentation is to help teams use mathematics to determine effective strategies as well as provide tips on building simple and effective solutions to game challenges.
These are expanded versions of conference talks given at Championship this year and are free to attend. Be aware that seating is limited at the space, there is a fair bit of room but we don't have more than 30 chairs. The presentation will be live streamed across the |

And obviously, if you aren't in the Tampa area you're more than welcome to join via the video stream :) This is our first time doing multi point video streams like this but we'll be doing our best to make sure it's recorded and available for teams after the fact too.

Sorry, I originally wrote the blurb while sitting at work and I have to keep a pretty US-centric mindset there. Obviously all our international friends are more than welcome to join. |

I think this cast has the potential to help a lot of low-resource teams, mine included. I'd suggest everyone who knows a team who could benefit from this information share the cast with them. The knowledge will be invaluable.

Gotta say it, manual machines can hold .001" tolerances. The myth they can not needs to die.

I think that manual machines can get even a better precision than that. CNCs have their minimal unit as the step, of their stepper motors, unlike us!:D

Chris and Andrew,
Thanks for the presentation this evening. Good stuff. I would like to see an example Monte Carlo analysis in Excel format if you have one. I've used Monte Carlo analysis at work for estimating contingencies, but I'm having difficultly envisioning how to run the analysis for FRC scoring. David |
