Re: Utilizing breaks between matches.

I think the average team, with not a lot of members or that hardly ever wins an award, would have a huge issue with this. There are no current students or mentors on team 2662 who were around the...

Collapsible or Portable Workbench

We are looking at getting some additional tools to expand beyond basic hand tools and drills we have been using for the past few seasons for robot construction. I particularly want to get a belt/disc...

Re: pic: Hex Wrenches + Heat Shrink

We started doing the matching colors for wrenches and hex wrenches last year, it works great. Makes it easy to find what you are looking for since most of our students don't know which wrench size...

Re: Orange Robot Safety Light

PLC Center is not an official distributor for AB products and pretty much sells them at whatever price they can. I've seen them sell stuff for 80% of list cost and 300% above, depending on the...

Re: 4 Team Matches for Championship

I also expect to see 4th robots more, but as a way to buy time for repairs. Stronghold is hard on these bots, and a season of abuse coupled with defense in high stakes matches is going to lead to...

Re: 2016 Chairman's Hall of Fame Predictions

Looking at all of the Hall of Fame teams since 2000 the majority of them are well known for their performance on the field, but there are two counter-examples. Last year's winner 597 has never won a...

Re: [FRC Blog] #FIRSTChampLIVE and the FIRST Championship App

That website is slick, a good improvement over past Championship streaming pages. Hopefully the on field feeds have been improved alongside these other enhancements!

Re: A Brief Picture History of the Falcon Robotics Team

Very cool to see Fredi, I had no idea you guys had competed in other Engineering competitions for so long before FRC. The AUV robots have certainly evolved even if they don't get as much press now as...

Re: Blocking 2 ball autons

Well scratch my idea off the list. Under this strict interpretation any reversing of an intake with decent speed while in the Neutral Zone should be called as a launching violation. This was not...

Re: Blocking 2 ball autons

In my interpretation, transitive means direct contact. Once I release a boulder from my robot I can no longer be in transitive contact with an opposing robot through that boulder. I do not think that...

Re: Blocking 2 ball autons

Have your 3rd robot start with a ball in its intake lined up directly with the boulder the 2 Ball opponent would grab. Reverse intake at high speed, hitting the ball on the center line and hopefully...

Re: 2016 Arizona West (Phoenix) Regional

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! I didn't think the increase in teams would fit after seeing the pit setup last year, but moving the south bleachers out of the way opened up a ton of room...

Re: Predictions Week 6: Damaged Defenses

Re: Advantageous to Take a G34 Penalty

The risk here is that there are two penalties regarding possession of more than one boulder, G38 and G41. You get one foul for each boulder controlled over one boulder with G38, but G41 will also...

Re: Zone versus man-to-robot refereeing styles

These two pretty much make a change like that a non-starter. I would run into my fellow refs if I had to follow a team around the field, looking at a zone allows you to focus on one area and certain...

Re: G43 enforcement level

Shooting from the Batter is not a protected area, G43 only applies to the Outer Works (multiple teams were confused about this at AZ North this week).

Re: 2016 Arizona North Regional

What defenses broke that you saw? We had some lexan siding that is for aesthetics pop off, but I don't remember any matches with defenses dislodged or failing to operate correctly. We bent a few low...

Re: Ten Foot Pole behind the castle wall

I did, communicating "turn left to line up with that goal" is not planning strategy. You may use a camera station to help plan strategy, but you can also use it for non-planning and tracking uses,...
