Re: GDC at it again!
 
Here's another (emphasis mine):

2 - While we understand that "hard" is a relative term, we do not define a specific hardness rating (understand that many teams and inspection stations do not have the tools required to measure specific hardness). Hardness is used in the general sense of the word as understood by a reasonably astute observer. A rule of thumb: If I hit you with it and it hurts, then it is "hard."

Well I guess we don't need to borrow that rockwell hardness tester for the CT regional now. This will make inspections way easier.:rolleyes:

I guess nobody on the GDC has ever been whacked with a pool noodle.

Or a piece of surgical tubing :ahh:

I'd take a licking with a pool noodle or surgical tubing over one with PVC pipe or aluminum bar stock, any day!

Apparently you've never been flailed with surgical tubing. It can take skin off down to the bone (don't ask :ahh: )

Actually. I chose the PVC pipe or aluminum bar stock. There is less grip on those, thus easier to rip out of the other persons had. The are also heavier and slower, so it is a longer swig. All make running away or counter attacking easier. :D

I saw the title of this thread and expected it to be people complaining about the GDC saying "RTFM!!" (where F of course stands for FIRST)...

But instead I was happy to see it was about the GDC actually having a sense of humor... whew!! :)

Although to be semi-technical, I think that the 883 number would go against the definition of ROBOT which includes:
Quote:

The ROBOT implementation must obviously follow a design approach intended to play the 2010 FRC game (e.g. a box of unassembled parts placed on the FIELD, or a ROBOT designed to play a different game, would not satisfy this definition).
The 102 number has a much more likely chance to comply with the definition of ROBOT :-D

GDC member: "Hey guys since it is February and half way through build season, can we start adding some humor in our answers?"
Everyone else: "OH YES!"
;)

I think they use the cost of the spike since it would take 1000 to fill 120lbs (using it's listed weight).

You have no idea of the number of things we get whacked with while designing the games...

So I'm starting to rethink that the GDC is the coolest job in the world....
