Re: Who makes their own wheels?
I'm going to chime in here because I've watched this blow up without any explanation on why we are building wheels other than the intent to teach students the process of manufacturing.
This year we...

Re: Team 2895 IOS app
I'd recommend making the advertisement less "in your face". It takes up a good portion of the screen.
Some alternatives:
Smaller footprint
Incorporate a news cell into an advertisement, so that...

Re: Custom Drive Stations
This is not a good idea. The power outlets on the field only allow current of up to 3 amps before it trips its internal breaker. Powering a computer of that size AND a monitor will definitely pull...

Amazing video guys - sent chills down my spine.

Re: Craziest Stronghold Matches
While I agree that the Hopper/Carver 330 flip was the craziest, I've gotta go with the homer pick and say our match on Hopper with 148 and 1678 where we scored 270 was pretty awesome (24 high goals!)...

Re: One or Two Drivers??
We have always used two drivers. In our opinion, it is easier to have one person, the driver, operating the movement of the robot; while the other, the operator, operates all mechanisms. This spreads...

Re: Running Toolchains on Debian?
You could also get some cheap Thinkpads on eBay (x100e and X200 come to mind) that run Debian great and will be good enough for a coding station/driver station laptop.

Re: A(nother) Sad Day For FIRST
Honestly nobody should take this to heart until 233 has an official statement on the matter. 233 is an awesome team and I don't see any reason why they would so suddenly retire.

Though, there are other options, such as:
