Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
What a dramatic series of elim matches - upsets, penalties, red cards, broken robots, and so many time outs! It was an exciting one for sure (but strangely low scoring).
Congrats to the Blue...

Re: adjustable pressure regulator

Re: Soccer Ball Sold Out
All,
I just spoke with a DTI rep - they are still out of the HS300 series soccer ball. They will, if you call to order and mention you are with a FIRST team, sell you the HS500 series replacement at...

Re: Breakaway Discussion
This will never happen. Let us suppose we have two dream teams on the field, they maximize scoring during autonomous and teleoperated modes, and both enter the last 20 or 30 seconds of game time with...

Re: Essential Electrical Tools
I'd say the Leatherman Kick. Nice, simple multi-tool. Grip-edges are plastic lined, so you don't get metal biting into your hand. Screwdrivers are of the appropriate size for most FRC stuff. One...

Re: 2009 PARC XII! Pennsylvania Robot Challenge
1391 registered last night, but is not showing up on the team list. Just wanted to check and make sure it went through!
Looks like PARC is shaping up to have a really solid competition this year.

Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional
The Philadelphia regional is always a fantastic experience for us, but this year was particularily exciting. Going in I was unsure about the (temporary) venue change, the lack of some familiar teams,...

Re: pic: 2009 Control System, Mounted
Why do I get the feeling that all of a sudden space in the middle of the robot is going to be at a premium?
I'm going to miss the days when an electronics team could get told they had a 2" x 12" x...

Re: 2008 Philadelphia Regional!
Thanks to all the mentors, volunteers, teams, etc that made Philly possible.
As always, Philly was my favorite event that I attended this year. The energy in that arena is always intense, and the...

Re: IR Receiver Availability at Events
I suggest integrating Kevin Watson's IR code and ordering some of the receiver modules. Otherwise, the device linked to by dtengineering should be swappable with the current system without too much...

Team 1391: The Metal Moose (video)

Re: Predictions: A cynical view of reality
Scissor lifts, at least to me, seem to be an ideal lift type for this year's game.
In the past, the capability to make relatively precise adjustments has been very important, with overall lift speed...

Re: Who is ready for their Robot Shipment???
We crated up at about 8pm on Sunday night.
We have some autonomous testing to do at VCU, and some minor parts installation mostly centering around graphics, component shielding, and the like.

Re: C# and robots
I'd actually expect this to happen sooner rather than later - eventually, as people start doing more and more 'AI' typical work for their autonomous modes, they will realize the clear and inherent...
