Re: why blame the programmers??

Technically, if you are actually doing it like an actual control engineer would do things you have plenty of time. In all seriouness you shouldn't need the hardware to program the software. You do...

Re: Are they really robots?

I forgot to mention this but yes airplanes should be classified as robots at this point. They can land by themselves. They can fly by themselves. The only thing I'm not entirely sure about is them...

Re: Clowns or Announcers?

Have you seen Mythbusters? Have you been to MIT? Mythbusters has a man dressing up in random costumes all the time. MIT usually has people performing circus arts like unicycling and juggling.

Re: A Request for transparency from FIRST

Re: Sunspot Minimum or "Is the sun going to sleep?"
