Re: Team 900 Role Call

Depends.
Do you
1. Have an incorrigible sense of humor?
2. Have a tendency to break things, usually not by accident?
3. Act like a giddy child most of the time?

If you answered yes to all of the...

Re: Team 900 Role Call

Oh no… it’s back. :ahh: This thread ought to be repurposed so it can be used by other teams (or at least not spam the front page). I’m just gonna repeat myself from last year:

Re: Mountain Man's Analysis of Weeks 2 and 3

The Rockies actually don’t extend past the US’s southern border. They do go into Canada, though.

However, teams (and, by extension, mountains) outside the US aren’t as important to FIRST, because...

Re: Mountain Man's Analysis of Weeks 2 and 3

Being from North Carolina, I must protest this gross misuse of the word “mountain” to apply to solely to the Rockies. The Rockies are okay and all, but let’s be honest here. We all know that the...

Re: Creativity Award to Champs

This reminds me of a post someone made awhile back about making a scouting award. It prompted this comment:

Re: Mythical Six Week Build Season

I’d argue there's a definition of "competitive" that we can all agree with; it’s a drive to always do things better, gain more experience, and meet new personal bests. I don’t care how many banners a...

Done. The survey wasn't at all demanding, and it should take most people just a few minutes to complete.

Re: 1114 Prototyping Leaked Footage!

Wow, I’m surprised that even on 1114 CADers are capable of swapping feet with inches. Truly a humble reminder to always double check the dimensions before you send files to be machined.
