Re: What hath we wrought? 2016 Horror Stories
We shredded the aluminum gears in a pair of WCP/VexPro dog shifters--reduced the teeth down to nubs over the course of the Tech Valley regional; we had spares from our practice robot (that had been...

Re: Eliminating "Start Build Day"
We build them, so it's not about the money.
The thing I don't like is the never-ending time drain that FIRST has become since the withholding allowance became reality. Unless the thing I need to...

Re: Registration 2017
There were seventeen spots open for Buckeye at noon. We got one of them at noon + 2s, at which point there were four. Then none at noon + 13 s.
Finger Lakes was our first registration, but I checked...

Re: Eliminating "Start Build Day"
I'm approaching the point where I may have to step away from FIRST just because of the other demands on my life. (I do a lot more than just robotics).
Personally, I would like to see a hard step in...

Re: VersaDrop Stability
We used pneumatically-shifting octocanum for several years. It's big, it's clunky, it's heavy, it's expensive.
It also made for some awesome omnidirectional awesomeness and some fantastic defense...

Re: Most Effective Robot EVER?
Objectively I'd say 71 in 2002, but as my then-team 827 got totally owned by the 71 2001 robot, subjectively I'd say 71 2001. We latched onto a goal and then got dragged around for two minutes as if...

Re: Was the Low Bar worth it?
The only thing I would change about our robot is that I'd have pneumatic wheels on the drivetrain, and a better portcullis lift. (I couldn't find decent pneumatic wheels by the time we'd hammered...

Re: 2016 IRI Rule Change Suggestions
If I were in charge of making Stronghold a top-tier-robot-only game, I would:
Keep the tower strength at 10, as at Championship.
Keep all the defenses. (Heck, if we can design for the drawbridge,...

Re: pic: Stripped VexPro gear
