Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff!

At least the game reveal video is on YouTube regardless...

Re: Decommissioning of USFIRST.org archived site

Do they even have a better, more easily accessible equivalent on the new...

Re: Max Age for FRC Participants?
In addition to this, 1257 heavily suggests that alum take a year off before becoming a mentor. That way they get their work-load in order and helping the team doesn't mess them up. I'm on my off...

Re: Steampunk wiring - wiring color
As said by others, it's probably best to not poke the bear. Sleeving would likely be your safest bet.
However, it's an odd thing to note that FRC doesn't always follow standards to the letter. ...

Re: FRC Championships Live Stream
It ranged anywhere from several hundred to several thousand depending on the event (being either a subdivision or Einsteins). It is also important to note that for much of it FRC was pinned to the...

Re: Pelican (or other) Case for Flying with Robot
1) I've yet to find a pelican case that would fit a regular FRC bot, much less enable you to take it on an airplane. FTC or VEX perhaps, but not FRC. We simply build bigger bots.
2) I'd consider...

Re: Robot Teams and Gaming

Re: Political Issues within Team
I can't offer a solution, that's really up to you. However, I can reflect on the difference in culture as a student versus a mentor.
As a student, you look to the mentors for help, to fill in roles...

Re: [FRC Blog] Regional Registration Issues
I'd be willing to wager their ASP.NET server still uses a MS SQL server on the backend somewhere, and each addition to the API has just been stacked on top of the old one.
Old datasets can be a pain...

Re: loading a COO file into Python
The simplest solution is often the easiest one. I'd personally just parse it myself and read line by line with a file reader, parse into an object and add each one into an array.
