Now the shrubbery is a herring--and we have to cut down the tallest tree in the forest with --Oh, sorry, can't say that word, or the Knights Who Say 'Ni' will become totally helpless.

Fasteners, adhesives, and lubricants do not have to be listed on the BOM. However, you may still want to have your mentors count them all for your own purposes. It gives them something to do.

Apparently mentors don't have enough to do.

I think the GDC should try mentoring a team sometime. It may open their eyes.

I imagine that is in response to "We have plenty of spare mentors for counting screws and rivets, but we'd like to get them started early if that's necessary." which is in the original post. :p

Well, yeah, if you read.

You can tell it's getting to the end of build season.

Oh well, ~ 2 days left
Good luck!

Epic!

I wonder which GDC member wrote that one. Might be something Lavery would do...

You know, that one really WAS funny. :D

We are no longer the Knights Who Say "Ni." We are now the Knights Who Say "*insertwhatevertheysayhere*."

Oh Knights Who...until recently said "ni"...

Doesn't matter, they're still helpless because I said *that word which the Knights Who At One Point Said Ni cannot hear*.

But how can we not say it if we don't know what it is?

And the GDC is at it again... http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=14758

Quote:

Given that plywood is a non-homogeneous, non-isotropic material with the strength and bending moment determined, in large part, by the relative orientation of the surviving laminations, it is not at all clear that cutting a dado across the entire height of the material would not severely compromise the structural integrity of the material. The dado reduces the effective thickness of the material by 16.67%. To ensure that the integrity of the modified plywood backing is still sufficient to survive the expected impacts of a typical match, you will need to provide appropriate analytical results to allow us to perform a comprehensive stress-loads analysis prior to having your robot inspected at the competition. As a minimum, we will need the following materials to be submitted for review: a clear definition of the resulting neutral axis along the entire length of the modified plywood material, a Finite Element Analysis (using a NASTRAN-compliant tool or equivalent) of deformation of the plywood backing within 12 inches of the dado cut during a 40-G impact by a 150-pound robot, both analytically- and experimentally-produced predictions of the yield strength of the modified plywood, and a full analysis (using Timoshenko beam theory or equivalent) of the resulting beam stiffness at the moment of impact as compared to the theoretical yield strength. ---- Nah, just kidding. Your solution sounds fine. No problem.
By far my favorite answer of the build season.
