Re: Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs 2015

This is unfortunate timing, as I already have plans, tickets & reservations to attend another event that weekend. Lots of fun stuff happens on the west coast in the fall. Hopefully I can make it...

Re: [FRC Blog] Two Championship Survey Results and Path Forward

Previously FIRST was selling the sponsors the ability to reach 600 teams at 1 event. Now FIRST is selling the ability to reach twice as many teams. I'm sure that if a company wants to buy...

Re: [FRC Blog] Two Championship Survey Results and Path Forward

I have to disagree with you, Cory. 600 teams at $5,000 each is only $3,000,000. I count 19 "strategic partners (http://www.usfirst.org/sponsors/Founding-and-Strategic)"; I believe I remember...

Re: Advice for transition from student to mentor, too involved?

Briefly:

1) I think that once any student on a FIRST team graduates, they should NOT be a mentor for the same team they were just on. I won't get into whether a college freshman should be a mentor...

If you're talking about the flag that I think you're talking about, it wasn't the duct tape that made it heavy, it was the steel pipe used as the flag pole.

Re: Best way to cool CIM motors?

Keep them cool by not running them. It may sound a bit snarky, but in this case it sounds like you're basically spending a lot of time with the motors stalled (i.e. putting power into the motor, but...

Bimba cylinders are tricky because when you order you need to look carefully to see if the items are "in stock" or not. They will happily sell (or give via PDV) any size you request, but if the size...

Re: Mecanum wheels not strafing correctly

Assuming the wheels really are all spinning correctly, it sounds to me like a weight and/or gearing issue. Is this a fully functional robot, or just a drive chassis? Can you take 50 lbs off, and...

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

I think it's unlikely to happen, as there is a financial cost to having a new name (all the banners, etc). However, this did spawn an idea that would be less costly than renaming all the fields each...

What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

At the 2014 Championship, they announced that the 2015 Championship would be bigger -- taking up three venues instead of just one. A very reasonable conclusion from that is that there will be more...

Re: Using x-box 360 controller

Re: Swapping digital input/output

I just thought of this:

Maybe the Ultrasonic class, two I/O pins and a diode would solve the problem: Charge the cap through a diode from an output pin. This corresponds to the "ping" in the...

In San Diego, the most frequent penalty was G46 (a ball more than 3" into the frame, most frequently getting trapped under the robot). This occurred approximately 65 times in 57 matches (though I...

Re: [TSD]: San Diego Battle At the Border Offseason

I believe the problem was that San Diego kept catching on fire, causing them to cancel the event for the last two years. It was certainly fun when they did have it, and I hope it can be resurrected.

Re: Changes over the years?

1992 was tethered; I'm not sure about 1993. 1994 was wireless. I think the control system was from Motorola then, so I'd guess it was probably the same system from 1993 or 1994 until 1998. In 1994...
