Re: Welcome the Newbies
 

Might as well introduce myself here...

I'm Nicholas Adams from Louisiana of team 1859, going to the Ottawa regionals. This is my team's third year but my own first year in Robotics, and I was so hopeless when the year started that I couldn't even use a drill right. And now I can program our robot(not completely, but most of it anways). We even got the autonomous mode working right.

I don't think you'll have to worry about me breaking rules. I go to about four other alive forums regularly; three of them are extremely strict, and the other I'm an admin at.

So, hey, everybody.

HI,
My name is Daniel, 17 years old, belong to team FRC-395

Re: Welcome the Newbies
 

Hello, everyone,
My name is Olga (not very appealing, I know...), 17, I belong to the team 2007 which competed in the Peachtree Regional, it was their second year. Mostly I am a "scout" person, because due to my horrible social skills I joined my robotics team only in January and I wasn't well aware of what is going on. I hope to catch up with everything next year since that's my last year of high school, unfortunately. Constant school switching pretty much killed my extracurriculars - this school doesn't even have lacrosse. :(

I don't think any other person on my team is much aware of what's going on here, so I decided to register and see if I can gather any information before next years competition.

I'm a n00b too.

Why is it so bad to bring back an old thread?
I understand repetitive questions, but what if was just an awesome thread...

and whats proper ettiquette for asking "can you please resay that in words that an educated-student-with-little-to-none-tech-terms-knowledge-but-still-knows-robots can understand"?

(sorry about the long hyphenated phrase.
its hard to sum it into a few terms)

Re: Welcome the Newbies
 

Reviving old threads can often be quite confusing. Here's an example:
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=57061

This thread was started last year. If someone sees this thread on the Portal or the top of the forum they will likely click on it and begin reading without checking the thread date. The part about San Diego is not true for this year and all the links in the first post are to Rack and Roll matches.

With regards to your second question it is easiest for someone to elaborate if you can be as specific as possible about what you don't understand (terms, concepts or whatever). Sometimes this is not possible and people will still try to help in that case but it is more difficult.
