Re: Keeping Interest - Beyond the Robot
I think this is a very worthy topic. As a booster I like the robotics part of the team, but try to take the broader view that the team is a FIRST team first and the robot is only a means to our ends...

Re: The Great Cardboard Boat Regatta
We would like to have other FRC teams participate at either of the Galesburg or Rock Island Regattas. If you come we'll be sure to have fun, but if you are too far away there are similar events with...

Re: Engineering Failure Analysis
We've had a lot of drivetrain analysis here, but not much on one of the interesting things I observed in this competition. Many teams specifically had spare gripper components ready for quick...

Re: Standing Up During Competition...
I'm afraid I'm with Corey on this one. I get at least as much kick out of watching the kids at competition as I do watching the bots. In my observation the kids who are participants (i.e. helped...

Re: Standing Up During Competition...
I think there are conflicting principles at work here. The inconvenience of not seeing a 2:15 match versus the desire to express enthusiasm for/inspiration by their team during the short 2:15 that...

Re: WOW-- Did I miss something?
I'm not not sure of the refs reasoning, but it was different than what was used in Curie QF 34 when 1270 got under both 648 and 1732 while playing defense next to the rack in the match. Neither...

Re: Curie Semifinal 1 - 3, what happened?
People who have talked about the reffing have missed a subtle point about the use of red/yellow cards. IMHO the problem was not so much that 48 did not receive a red card in SF1-3, but that it and a...

Re: Curie Semifinal 1 - 3, what happened?
I am not sure what to think about this incident yet. If the observations about pre-meditation and celebration in post #36 are accurate, disciplinary action of some sort vs team 48 seems to be in...

Re: CURIE Discussion - 2007 Championship
I watched video of the first 10 teams on the Curie list. IMO 67 had the best bot among those. It looked like they just had bad luck/strategy in the elims or they would've done better in regionals. ...
