Re: A(nother) Sad Day For FIRST
Thanks for the offer. I'm a "snow bird" and have a place it Kokomo, where I can stay longer than I usually do if need be. It looks like the storm wasn't as bad as it might have been in my area in...

Re: A(nother) Sad Day For FIRST
Yep, the team will continue, but it looks like some things will be quite different.
I may, or may not be with the team this year, depending on whether I am homeless in Florida, as the result of...

Re: 2016 IRI Invitations -

I wasn't on the field, but reliable sources said that using the batterie(s) for ballast was OK'd be the inspectors before the start of the quarter finals. Then, there was a change of mind, and a...

Re: 2014 Orlando Regional
Thanks for your informative post, Dan.
In my 19 years of involvement in FIRST, until yesterday, I don't remember an alliance, or team being retroactively DQ'd from matches, or DQ'd from elimination...

Re: 2013 Orlando Regional
I think we set the record for number of times arriving at UCF with a box of parts, missing most, or all of our practice sessions, but then doing very well in the competition. It always bugs me that...

We were on the blue side and died for an extended period of time in one match on Einstein, and briefly in others. At least one of our partners died for a time, and had glitches. We had no such...

Re: Curie 2012!
I look forward to seeing you, and your new team at St. Louis. You guys looked great in the finals match, with very accurate shooting, and your "shorty" robot is great for triple balances.
