F4 - Episode 15 (How to Utilize COTS parts)
 

Hello Everyone!

Today (6/26) we will be hosting our 15th episode of F4. Today's episode will be all about how to utilize COTS parts.

This show came as a request from a rookie team who found the availability of COTS parts very overwhelming. We assume this is a common problem for a lot of teams so we are doing the episode.

Today's Co-hosts will be...
Nick Krichevsky from team 5202 The Newro bots
Chak Lee from team 4159 CardinalBotics
and Anand Rajamani (asid61) from team 115 MVRT

We have a loaded episode today where we will cover a multitude of topics relating to COTS parts.

As always if you have any questions for the co-hosts feel free to post them in this thread and we will be sure to answer them.

If you want to be on the show, view past episodes, view members, or contact us please visit our website. http://f4.network/

See everyone there!

This episode is going to be great. Despite joining a few months ago, it'll be my first episode.
We have a lot of subtopics lined up for this show, so especially for new/rising teams this will have a lot of great information.

I guess the important question is, will it be over in time for Game of Thrones?

:eek:

Looking forward to watching it. (Both, actually.) :)

Awesome show this week! We ran almost an hour past what we were supposed to - but that only speaks to what a great resource it might be for teams feeling overwhelmed by COTs parts!

Excited to see how teams can use this week's show (once it is uploaded)!

It ended up running about 53 minutes late...

For all of those interested here is our show doc which sums up what we talked about although I still recommend watching it in video form.

I should also mention next weeks episode will be on Tooling the Shop and will contain some of the same hosts. So, if you liked this episode I highly encourage you watch episode 16 on Sunday 7/3
