Re: FIRST Logo Redesign?
Yeah, I noticed the logo right away too. I don't think they're actually changing it - they'd make a big announcement to that effect if they were, and it would be integrated into the new beta site.

Re: [FRC Blog] Want to Work for FRC?
An engineering degree is a kind of experience, and a particularly valuable one at that.

Re: pic: Graph
I'm a fan of Matplotlib, which is a Python library for plotting data. Then if I'm feeling especially perfectionist, I export to SVG and use Inkscape for touching up labels and legends.
