Very nicely said, I agree 100%

What have I learned? There is practical use for Trig!!!

That and thanks to Dave Lavery: 1*1=\2

Also learned...don't prank someone unless you know what you're about to get yourself into....:D

Hopefully Houston will keep me healthy.

Moral of the story: Don't do FIRST related stuff if I don't want to get sick.

Wait, isn't that the opposite of what happens? ;)

Actually, he does get sick around FIRST time. Same with Bill. It can get pretty bad for both of them...

I am YET to learn to wear gloves when picking up hot metal...owe :(

I am also yet to learn to use pliars or a screw-driver to pull sharp pieces of metal off the the Mill.

Along with that, I nearly finished my teams 2 gearboxes today...should have them done 2morrow or thursday...YAY!

I have learned that mentors will attack you if you even push your safety glasses up for a moment.

I learned I only need 3.5 hours of sleep per night to operate machine shop machinery :cool:

Ouch!

Even dropped down to 60psi that really hurts.

I learned that without a steady stream of caffene thanks to Starbucks and Mountain Dew no work would get done.

I also learned that San Jose has really bad traffic and a lot of crazy 1 way streets that all look alike to me!

I also learned that giving up all caffeine for Lent is not such a good idea when it's the same time as your team travelling to Seattle for a robotics competition.
1) I'm addicted to coffee and there's 3 starbucks on every corner in Seattle
2) Sleep deprivation from excitement and being silly in the hotels should be aided with caffeine
3) The boys on my team are evil and taunted me the whole entire trip.

Anyone at last year's New England regional remember someone from team 38 nearly loosing a finger from the pneumatics in our robot while releasing a goal after a match?

Ive learned a few things from first that while random...are good things to remember:

1) dont let an engineer near duct tape unless he is working on the robot
2) dont fall asleep in a rolling chair in a building with elevators
3)when you are small and around engineers, they come up with all sorts of inventive things that they would like to try.....
