Re: Suggestion: Create Subforum for Competition Predictions
 

Thanks EmileH,

I'm certainly not a troll account. Perhaps I do get a bit excited. I too am learning the ways of FRC and CD. Mainly I post to help other teams to compete at their best level by giving insights and help from my newer perspective. Sure I have a bit of fun too but its all in good fun and sometimes simply as a way to get discussion flowing...which it certainly does. I'm glad instant replay seems to be an off season experiment using my week 1 post and real experience as an example from this season.

I think FRC is great but tends to get too stodgy and set in its ways sometimes, you all have to realize this is not a 15-20 year thing for many of us here as we came on way after FRC got going and see it from a very different perspective. I do not mean to make people upset at all and if you are getting upset then PM me if you have any issues with what I post here. I want every team to succeed and have a good year. That's it in a nutshell, I'm not afraid to stick out a bit and ask some tough questions. I think discussion is good.

Thanks to those who voiced support in the past and good luck to all teams.
Now go work on your bots and win this.

I typo'd when I wrote Boltman w/ all these troll accounts. We played with you at CVR so I definitely know you're real. Sorry!

LOL thanks Adam and good luck at worlds.

Hi AdamHeard,

Although I don't have affiliation with a team that doesn't make me a troll. I have a nephew who was interested in joining a FIRST Robotics team a couple of years ago and so I started investigating and really found things interesting! I decided to make an account so I could start interacting and learning more from the community. I personally found Boltman's name to be catchy but unfortunately the name "Rivetman" was taken...

Hope I didn't cause too much harm by starting to post, I just wanted to get a bit more involved with this community.

Hi Boltman,

Thank you for sharing your experiences, they're certainly helping me understand what it's like for a younger team that's full of vinegar (and something else!). Keep up the work!

Best Regards,
RM

We are not currently qualified for worlds, hopefully we do so next weekend!

Sorry for misrepresenting you, and I hope I didn't deter you from getting involved. More FIRSTers = good! Thank you for speaking up. I still have my doubts about #rekt though :) If you have more questions feel free to PM me!

Re: Suggestion: Create Subforum for Competition Predictions
 

I actually don't think there's an account called #rekt...

Re: Suggestion: Create Subforum for Competition Predictions
 

There was. I deleted it.
