Re: Did I read <R32> Correctly? Six CIMs?
It is not that simple.

Re: Championships - Qualification Only Event?
Interesting and popular perspective amoung some folks who mentor in FRC. However, doesn't the "C" in FRC stand for Competition? I would think the name is what it is for a reason.

Re: Disrupting Alliances
Actually, look at the records on FIRST under the archived results. We were #8 seed and were debating whether or not to decline. The rest is history - what Glenn said is accurate. There is no doubt...

Re: Highest Score 2011
I believe that 158 is the highest possible score by an alliance. So, 135 out of 158 is pretty good for early regionals.
How often do we think a score of 158 will happen this year? Will it happen...

Re: Free Drive Belts - Bills Blog
I ordered the 9mm wide ones - that may be the difference. I just need to call them next week to determine if the 9mm are available with flanges.

Re: pic: Carrie Byron and Wildstang at Capitol
Eric is right - too much going on at work. I wish I could have been there. I love visiting DC.
What I do not understand is how Al let Dave get away with not wearing a tie-dyed or Hawaiian shirt.

Re: Drive-over penalties still being called
First thing I want to say is: I miss Lunacy where penalties were rare and matches were not decided by the refs. G46 reminds me of the cross the line in reverse penalty in 2008.
