Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

See MattD's response here.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

sorry about that didnt see that regional the first time though i was in a rush.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Please no team bashing. MOE is a great team and was an awesome addition to FLR this year. Remember that everything you say on Chief Delphi reflects on yourself, your team, and the FIRST community as a whole. Just try to keep that in mind. Thanks.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

sorry about that but most of our team members think its true. if u think about how well built their robot. i think its obvious that they have like a proffesional build it. but i apoligize if it offended u.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

I'd keep that information to your team not the CD community, just a heads up.

Also, i'd look into purchasing a dictionary.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

whatever. already have a dictionary thanks just lazy and dont really care about spelling at the moment. people can still understand what im saying. also i know the one other person who is on our team who is in the same room agrees about moe. i apoligize again for the offending comment. i have thought that ever since i started. in our teams opinion its true. they always seem to be one of the best bots in the regional and always seem to have the most decorated bits. its like there rich or something.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

It's true that MOE is known for building incredible robots. However, it's not much in the spirit of FIRST to accuse them of having it professionally built. And as far as Team 365 being rich, maybe they do really great fundraising. Even better, maybe the team has sponsors that can see the benefit of FIRST and are willing to contribute great help. In the future, you might want to know the whole story about a team before making such terrible assumptions about the way it operates. Good luck at Philly by the way, I hope it's as great as last year, perhaps even better.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

yeah. understood. but did u see their pit area last year.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

To reiterate what Bobby said earlier, please no bashing teams. Each team works hard to do what they do.

Anyway, let's bring this thread back to the original topic, the FLR...

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Do not ever disrepsect a team on CD. This boes badly for you, your team, and everyone associated with your team.

MOE is one of the best teams in FIRST. just look at there accomplishments.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

yeah okay. ever think of this they have a proffesional build it

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Reported

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Ever think of this? Some teams do it? I don't know if they do professionally build it, but isn't the kids building the robot professionally done. I mean who better to build a robot than a bunch of people who have been in FIRST for a while?

Come on I can name 300 teams easy that LOOK like they are professionally done but you haven't called those teams out.

But look this is a place for growth and learning. Not a place for someone to make a personal grudge known to all. If you have an issue with a team please keep it to yourself. No one on here wants to hear about it. Once again it is making you, your team and your sponsors look bad.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Folks,

Please take it easy with the Negative Reputation button. Kathimm1 has already PM'd an apology. Please review this thread started by Jane Young about "What Would You Say to the Newer Members of CD".

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=50532

PM should often be used before the Negative Rep button.

Thanks!

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Does it even matter? Sure the competitions are important, but they are about something completely different. At the end of the day it doesn't matter whether or not you won or lost(well its nice to win but read on). That's not what FIRST is about. It's about people coming together from all over the world for a great cause. It is our job to spread the word of FIRST, not to win the competitions. When you really get down to it, we are all one big team.

Also to reiterate what the people above me said, don't bash any team ever. Thanks.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Please.
Just stop it.
I don't know what your issue is with MOE but there is no reason whatsoever for you to personally attack another team for any reason.
If your issues with MOE really runs that deep then take it up with them face to face in Phili but what you are doing is causing your team undue strife with team 365 for whatever personal reasons drive you, probrably without their consent plus you are hijacking a thread, which is a bannable offense here. Therefore cease and desist this behavior immediately please.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Let's end the discussion (bashing, etc.) of MOE and go back to the 2007 FLR, otherwise this thread (and any spawned from it) will be closed.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Let's go Sparx!! :p

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Good Idea. Let's get this forum back on track. O.K.?

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Folks:

I am Team Coordinator for MOE 365 and had originally not planned to respond to the comments made here. I would hope that, as previously suggested, this thread get back to it's original topic intent.

For information, I have offered to the original poster that I would gladly make myself available to her and any team members to explain how we handle the build season. I will answer any question to the best of my ability.

So, let's move on and get back to our originally scheduled CD thread... :D

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

So anyone wanna come to the Rah Cha Cha Ruckus in October?

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

I tried asking this in the FLR thread about video and photos but I got no response there. Does anyone have the video of the imagery award being given out?

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

I will be there Ed!! and i will be on that planning committee!!! and i am attempting to recruit teams to come out and play!!!

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

As a member of MOE 365 I would like to thank all of you for the kind words about MOE and for sticking up for us.

kathimm1, Yes MOE dose build a very high quality robot each year, this is due to having a very high quality team. Each MOE student starts our team in Sept and from then to December each student goes through MOE University. This is where each student is trained in Mechanical, Electrical,Programing, Fund raising, Brainstorming, Web site development, Team Building activities, Proper and safe use of hand tools, machine tools and general safety in a work place and FIRST environment. Each class/ session is taught by professional engineers, teachers and other professionals in their respected fields.


This is how MOE is able to build a quality, and nice looking, robot each year.

You also mentioned out Pit. The MOE pit was build and developed in 2001-2002 and has since then has had minor additions and subtractions to it each year. The pit was build and designed by students, I can personal attest to this because I spend my 2002-2003 winter break helping rebuild parts of it. Just because MOE has a nice looking pit dose not mean we are "rich" most all of the materials for the pit and in the pit were donated by members, families and our sponsors.

MOE is a large team with about 30 students average each year and about 10-15 mentors from engineers to our boosters. Most of the adults on our team are parents or current students or alumni who come back to help the next generation of MOE students.
I am sorry if you find our team annoying, We wear bright MOE GREEN jerseys to let people know that we are there and having FUN. MOE loves to Cheer and show our spirit because we love FIRST and the impact that it has on our students, families, mentors and even our sponsors and we love to support all the other great FIRST teams that worked to make it to the events.

Now to the part about us having a great robot that " we must have a professional build" It is true we do have a professional build it, about 30 of them. Each one is a professional high school student who was trained in MOE university and has help and mentoring from our mentors. MOE is student built and designed, yes we have help from our mentors but its help and guidance not just doing it for the student only trust me each year students build things that don't work that I am positive that some of the mentors could fix for us but the only way to learn is to make mistakes and they do let us make mistakes and then get the great experence on how to fix them thats what FIRST is about, learning.

Thank you for saying that each year we have one of the best bots, I can think of lots of other great bots each year but thanks for the comment.
Also the decorations for the bot are always added on after the robot is built and is always something done just for fun. Most all of the decorations on the robot are just spray paint and cloth with stickers that anyone from any team can get made at a local print shop and buy from a local paint shop.


MOE has been around for almost 8 years now and it has taken almost 8 years to get where we are and it will take even more years to get where some of the other great teams are at right now, yes we have had some great luck by having awesome sponsors who really do value FIRST and its message and also some of the most dedicated parents and mentors that I have ever met. Each and every year we will have set backs and leaps forward just like every other team in FIRST.

If you have any more questions or comments about MOE 365 please refer to our website www.moe365.org or you can PM me, email me at kyle.a.rice@gmail.com or IM me at greenguy365 but please keep negative comments about any team or person off of CD forums so as not to make your team or your self look bad.

Team 104 is a great team, I think last year your team was a finalist at one of your regionals, I hope that in Philly this week that you can have a better idea of MOE and please stop by our pit and talk to our people to see who we are and what we really do, just don't forget your safety glasses.

Best of luck to your team and all other teams attending Philly
-Kyle

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

i better see the following there from you mister:

1114,1503, 494/70, 48, 1038, 365!!! and others....:p

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

What do you want me to do?
Steal thier robots?
I'll be happy if 1591 shows this year.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Do you have a date for Rah Cha Cha Ruckus Yet?

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

I really want to go to the Rah Cha Cha Ruckus, I hope that MOE could go, hint, hint, cough, cough, nudge, nudge Mr.MOE. :)

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Most likely October 27th.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

I'll be on the planning committee once again. I haven't decide if I should save money up to pie Rees in the face again.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

You hope? I go to bed praying every night they'll come (and 1114, 25, 341, 1038, 1528, 768 and a bunch of midwestern teams).

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

i am sending out some fairly comprehensive and convincing arguments :D (pie in the eye!!!!!! possibly even myself:yikes: ).

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

*raises hand*

Something was mentioned to me about driving. =O

I'm excited already.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

I certainly hope you guys come. I would like Jay to help us design the awards this time.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

2228 will certainly be there if anyone cares. Assuming that I don't destroy Rover sometime between now and then. Sadly, I won't be present at the Ruckus. Darn that whole grad-u-mah-lating thing.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Well obviously we care.
It's hard to get to 24 when the local teams don't show up.;)

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Jack Bauer!




Sorry, I saw the number 24 and it must've just been a reaction.

To be honest I'm worried about hurting Rover before now and then. I mean, we are adding some peices on that aren't battle tested and I hear ATL is gonna be hard on D.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Unless your robot outright explodes into little tiny pieces she should be ready for the Ruckus easy.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

plus u have time to fix it between Championships and Ruckus! or like 340 give ur bot away and build a Jeep Bot!

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Ooooooh! You might be getting too close to "Duel" territory.:(

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Wow, the be perfectly honest, I completely forgot we got Rover back after ATL. I've gotton so used to the 'no, you can't work on it, it's in a warehouse in a crate and you can't touch it!' mentality that it completely slipped my mind.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Hey everyone, last night they aired a spot on the FLR.

http://www.fairportfirst.com/Media/V...7/578_WXXI.htm

Enjoy!

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

i am having trouble right clicking saving as.


edit/ it works in IE.

I love that video. now i need to decide that video or the one i have from early in the ages of 1998. Both hit it strong but the new one is new... oye.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Ed, it might have slipped your mind, but I'm graduating this June :p So unless you guys get me some award ideas before then, I really can't do anything to help you out... But hopefully my teacher will show some of the younger students how to use the laser cutter so that they can help you out.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

WE probably won't build a jeep-bot this year. The main purpose of the jeep-bot was to test the drive base.

i think I heard the rookies talking about building a flatbed tow-truck.;)

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

hmm. a ramper bot thingy? hmm.


Well i have a faculty meeting next thursday for the local hs. and i will be contacting the local BOCES as well, i am more pumped to get the boces involved more then the HS. I see more teacher and student involvement from them.

If all goes through we will hopefully be able to get a robot from some team or atleast a kit chassis and make it to the Ruckus!

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

This may sound a little noobish (Hey look I made a word!) but even though I've been in FIRST for 2 years now, I've never heard of Rah Cha Cha Ruckus. Could someone please explain to me what it is(and where)?

Thanks.
SSMike

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

1511 (pre ruckus committee startup) will be handing out 52 "invitation" goodie bags at ATL to teams that have not yet attended Ruckus and might be interested. If your team hasnt attended and is interested, PM me, or stop by our pits!!

If any Rochester teams are interested in helping with the Committee, PM me as well... I will be sending out invites to all local team leaders POST-ATL!!

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Thanks for recording that ! It's a great flick for Rochester since it's broadcast across the north east.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Am I still invited?

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

That's an awful far commute for a meeting, Steve.

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

Of course.....but I hope you like pie. :p

Re: 2007 Finger Lakes Regional!
 

oh ill make sure we do :p
