Re: Best 3rd pick this season
4028 was an incredible 3rd pick, its unfortunate their robot wasn't working for most of the quals, they had a great shooter when everything was working correctly, and such a simple hang and...

Re: Single vs Multiple Speed Gearbox
For the majority of offensively focused robots, getting in pushing matches is just bad strategy, avoiding defense should be your priority. In my experience acceleration is just as important as top...

Re: FRC Team 610 Presents: Scorpion
I think that's the beauty of how diverse this game is, there's not going to be one dominant design, the best alliances are going to have a combination of robots playing specific roles to succeed. As...

Re: High Goal Vs. Low Goal
The high goal this year is by far (horizontally) the tightest goal we've ever had to shoot into, especially with no safe zones from defense. The goals in 2006/2012/2013/2014 were all multiple times...

Re: Championship MCs
The radio DJ Hawaii MC was the best I've ever seen. Incredible voice, actually funny, professional, and had a good understanding of the game.

Re: 2015 Chairman's Predictions
I agree with most that its time for 987 to win.
Personally I wouldn't be surprised to see one of 1241/2056/3132 win within the next 3 years. Both 1241 and 2056 are incredible programs, they...

Re: [FRC Blog] We're Listening
Yup.
How can we protest this move at Champs this year without being disruptive/disrespectful?
The public meeting about double Champs is already going to be a disaster.
I think it's important that...

Re: Future First Championship News
This is probably my second biggest issue with the whole concept, playing all your matches in a Convention Center just cheapens the whole experience. FIRST is trying to sell this to us by saying that...

Re: Javascript Robots!

Re: Canburglar Mechanisms
It really doesn't matter who is fastest at getting to the bins... it matters who comes away with them :ahh:, I'm excited to see these mechanisms go head to head.

Re: 1310 3 Tote 3 Container Autonomous

Every year we over estimate how many game pieces team can score, the averages are usually very low. The top teams will do over 10 scoring actions per game (stack 1 tote, score bin), the average will...
