Re: Wood Chassis vs. Kit Frame

Re: Team Status
Team 847 had some interesting debates immediately after kickoff because in lunacy, we're suddenly faced with a game where nobody actually knows what will and won't work. We have almost as many...

Re: Robot Material
We've used cake pans and an extension ladder, so there's no reason that hockey sticks shouldn't be allowed... I wouldn't recommend using a lot of insanely expensive ones because it could...

Re: Game Hint #2 Prediction
Remember the end of the Rack 'n Roll kickoff? Where it showed Dean and Woodie floating on a suspiciously waterlike surface using the Ringers like innertubes, as they denied any possibility of hints?

Re: Game Hint #1
The sites, and for that matter also the fish, are Australian. Perhaps there's a connection to "down under"... maybe the number of spots (like the dots on the fish) on the bottom of a game piece will...

Re: How FIRST has affected you?
The obvious answer is probably true for all of us- FIRST has given me opportunities that I would never have otherwise had. Between music, drama, and languages there never will be any time in my...

Re: How far are teams right now? Behind Schedual?
Our schedule is to have a working bot in the crate by ship date, and after three unanimous votes about what kind of bot it'll be I think we're doing pretty well. We have a working prototype and are...

Re: Servo Help
If the bot got all the way across the line before the teleoperated period ended, it would count. You'd probably want to just keep driving, because crossing a line doesn't count after the end of the...

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2
The 'hot potato' idea is really interesting. What if the game piece has different modes that change what score it gets or what you need to do with it, and we use the IR to determine what mode it's...

Assuming that you somehow overcame the challenge of setting up the pool/field, if the competition was still two alliances of three bots, it seems like they'd interfere a lot with one another. Bots...
