A friendly reminder to everyone
 

Remember everyone, during build season, if you mess something up.....

In the words of Adam Savage...


Failure is always an option!
(and so is blowing stuff up)

Good luck!

I don't think the safety advisers would approve the use of explosives to dispose of your robot (I think they'd more readily endorse recycling the bot instead).

Ha didn't see that, thanks!:)

I like the "I reject your reality and substitute my own" option better. No the arm that i just spent the last week building didn't fall apart into a million little pieces it only took a break (hahaha bad pun).

What in this topic makes it spotlight worthy? As far as I can see, it makes it worthy of the Chit Chat forum.

touché. but, then again, they did have Grant Imahara featured in the safety video, and we all know what he's built....

My conclusion from this post:

Failure is an option separate from blowing stuff up, so if you don't fail, then you should blow stuff up, and therefore whichever robot that wins the championship should be blown up.


Am I doing it right?

Re: A friendly reminder to everyone
 

well, that's one way of going about it

[Off-Topic]
This could be a topic for a whole new thread. :)

Some quotes are spotlighted for being "true" or some memorable/important principle. Others are spotlighted because they are funny/interesting. I felt this was funny/interesting (particularly because it is something that is sort-of contrary to an engineering mindset (engineers don't like to fail, and most don't like to blow things up), and FIRST is filled with engineers, therefore, it is ironic, and irony is a type of humor), so I spotlighted it.

I wasn't around when the spotlights were started (I think it was in 2002, based on searches), so I'm not entirely sure what the original purpose of the system was. Please correct me if my idea of what makes a "spotlight-worthy" post isn't accurate.
