Go to Post I think Dave was tired...he kept muttering something about "eviscerating" someone. Heidi seemed to be doing most of the talking. Actually, after talking with 29,000 people, I think she lost her voice. Or maybe Dave "eviscerated" it.... - RoboMom [more]

Re: Looking for a new team

Listen to the people in the link provided about college and FIRST. If I had gone to a college that was closer to events i would have volunteered over mentoring for sure. Takes a lot to balance both.

I don't remeber the other team we were looking at. But we were debating going for triple balance or more scoring. So the other robot wasn't a wide bot so we wouldn't have been able to triple with...

Re: Seven Rivers Regional/Lacrosse, WI

Waitlist is not a first come first served deal. Teams are invited off waitlist at the RDs discretion.

The 6 weeks came about also because of the out dated need to actually have FedEx come pick up your robot so they could get it to your competition in time.

Re: What does FRC sustainability mean to you?

B&T is the epitome of doing something just because we always have. FIRST is about innovation and inspiration. Removing B&T has a huge ability to do both.

More clarification, once a team is an alliance captain and has declined or had another team accept, they cannot be picked by another team.

Re: Wisconsin District Rankings

Right now HQ is preventing teams from opting in/out of other districts, I'm sure there is some push back from the districts themselves but i don't think it is as big as HQ.
