Re: pic: Quick-Change Chassis 2

I hope this is a joke because isn't this the dream? A reliable drive train?

I would be looking at iterations of your previous (low maintenance) drivetrain, not designing something that is less...

Re: [FRC BLOG] This isn't a Robot, Housing, and Throwing Things

Maybe mentors can step up, set a good example, and make sure their team isn't doing it. Besides ejecting people from the building there is no punishment/penalty that FIRST can impose on a team at...

Re: Five Person Drive team in 2017

I noticed this as well. I think the last time 5 people/team were behind the glass was 2001 when teams were allowed 2 drive coaches.

Re: Phone Policy

78 requires both students and mentors to store phones while in our shop for safety and productivity reasons. We have a designated area to use phones if needed.

No need to panic about the event button, but the YPP could be an issue.

Re: NE District Registration Question

WPI (wk 2) usually fills the fastest due to central location and quality of event. It may be a little less popular this year due to it being a Wed - Fri event.

Waterbury (wk 1) should fill faster...

Re: [FRC Blog] FRC Events Being Posted and AMAA on FUN

In New England, as long as events are primarily being held in high schools, the trend is going to be Fri-Sun events.

Re: California District Proposal

Except the high school would not be hosting a 60+ team regional over 4 days but rather a 40 team district with a need for 1200 seats and spots for 400 cars over 2.5 days.

The room for 1200 people in...

Re: Predictions: The Return of One Championship?

4 levels is not possible without either moving kickoff earlier or pushing worlds back. Not enough time in the 9 competition weeks to have teams compete in both DCMPs and Super Regionals.

Re: Official Inter-District Interest

There are already opportunities to compete out of district or at a regional to see other teams. So the complaint is not valid when it comes to earning district points out of your home district. I...

Re: Official Inter-District Interest

Seeing the same teams 'over and over again' is not a valid complaint for earning points out of district. FIRST is not restricting you to personally go visit other teams.

Re: 1.1 CFM Air Compressors?

Is VIAIR aware that we run these compressors at 12 volts? It would be nice to a spec sheet for 12 volts.

We'll see what the 2017 rules and Q&A have for rulings.

Re: 1.1 CFM Air Compressors?

All of these values are for a supply voltage of 13.8 volts. The 100c, as an example, is 1.27 CFM at 13.8 volts. If 12 volts is the supply voltage, is the CFM reduced at the same ratio? 1.27 CFM at...

Re: A-Z Guide for teams competing

I have word from a reliable source that pits will be sorted by division, then by number, as it's been done every year. No need to worry about random pit ordering.
