Re: The "Anything" Quiz 2
 

My favorite actor is Jim Carey. I love comedy films and his always seem to keep my attention. I tend to watch his movies over and over again until their not funny anymore, and then wait a long period of time and they're funny again, or maybe I'm just weird.

I really like to watch Tom Hanks. I am in love with the Polar Express. I also liked him in Castaway, that movie makes me cry all of the time!

Easily Gene Wilder. He is just so funny in all the movies I've seen him in, especially the Mel Brooks movies. "My name is Jim, but most people call me...Jim". He just has this great sense of humor all together and can actually sing. He hair also reminds me of what my hair is becoming, so it adds on to how much I like him.

Will Ferrell is my favorite actor. I dont see how you could not like him. He is always hilarious. Saturday Night Live sucks without him.

If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be and why?

Re: The "Anything" Quiz 2
 

If i could change one thing i would stop all of the wars and feuds. These wars are pointless and are resulting in so many unneccesary deaths. I just want to see what it would be like if everyone got along instead of shooting or blowing up each other.

Re: The "Anything" Quiz 2
 

I would add in a ton more of FIRST teams in the world. With more teams will bring more students into science and engineering, which would eventually lead to greater and newer technologies. Newer technologies could eventually solve some of the world's worst problems and make life easier.

I would put limits on deep-sea fishing. In turn, I would find a way to farm large saltwater fish to make them a replenishing food source. It has been argued that the large saltwater gamefish have declined by 90% due to human overfishing. It would truly be a tragedy to lose these beautiful, magnificent creatures like so many buffalo.

Re: The "Anything" Quiz 2
 

I would change the amount of money it cost to enter the FRC ring. One reason is I want my middle school to have a team. And also the amount of fund rasing is outragious.

Re: The "Anything" Quiz 2
 

I wouldn't change anything specifically FIRST-related, though it is an AMAZING organization. I think the much bigger problem is student apathy (and apathy, in general.) I would make it such that everyone would care enough to make the most of their life through education, though not specifically FIRST. Granted, FIRST would most likely experience a boost due to that change, but the more important thing is the change itself. If everyone actually cared about what was going on around them (no matter what was actually going on around them) we wouldn't see so many of the problems we do see.

What does your robot do?

Re: The "Anything" Quiz 2
 

Edit: What does your robot intend to do?

1529's 2007 FRC entry, Lollipop, will have the ability to score ringers on any level of the rack. It can also pick up ringers that are lying flat on the ground, as well as any that are fed through the chute. A four-foot, 110 lb robot, Lollipop will be a liftee rather than a lifter. Its robust design also allows the drivers to adapt to a defensive style, if the game situation requires. The team believes the manipulator, after which the robot was named, is truly a one-of-a-kind device, the likes of which you will see on no other competitor this season.

Re: The "Anything" Quiz 2
 

Our robot uses a sissor lift with measured levels. You can turn a rotary switch to go between levels for all the heights. Our robot also has a ramp that can hold 1 robot, maybe with another robot on top of that robot. Our claw works with the inner diameter of the tubes and opens to that 3 pich points hold the tube in place. It should all work by the end of tonight.

Re: The "Anything" Quiz 2
 

Leviathan is 5 feet around 105 lbs and can reach all the spider legs. We used pneumatics to lift the arm and to open and close both of our hands. We plan on going out there and trying to score as much as possible and we can get up a ramp if we need to.

Re: The "Anything" Quiz 2
 

our robot is 4 feet tall and puts ringers on all levels. Also it has a ramp for each alliance partner. Last it stays under weight.
