Re: 3360 robot reveal, Manticore
Elegant is the best word I've seen to describe this machine. The high release on the catapult, the ease of crossing the drawbridge, and the shortened climbing mechanism all blew me away.

As a former judge of 3 years, I can shed a little light on the topic.
First, different regions handle the issue differently, however, I believe all judging teams try to balance "sharing the wealth"...

Re: Basketball Traditions at FIRST Events
This may have already been suggested, and if so, I apologize.
How about we let the Chairman's Award winning team cut down a net. After all, that's what this competition is all about.

Re: Crate Swap - Bayou Regional
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding.
If a rookie team qualifies for the championship, they have to ship the machine from the regional location straight to championship. Correct?
If I'm wrong, and the team...

Re: Crate Swap - Bayou Regional
Thank you for your critique. The idea is not perfect, but I feel it still has merit.

Re: banebot smoke
The quickest way to generate heat on those motors is to run them at a stall. Are you using the motors to hold an arm steady while a force is applied? If so, you are stalling the motors.
