Re: Noodle Throwing Strategy
I've found that practice really matters. I was throwing around a pretty beat up one for fun for about an hour. It took me about half that time to actually throw one to the other side, but now I get...

Re: Upcoming Site Changes

Re: Counting discs
Yah, I guess that's important... :D
But on a personal level, I still don't care who ends up winning the tiebreaker very much. Not to that extent, at least. I only care about who wins because it...

Re: Counting discs
I can't say I payed much attention at our competition, but I didn't hear any talk of false scores. I would imagine that they would only need to count if a game was close, but that's just my opinion,...

Re: Petition to end the shouting of ROBOT
Is yelling robot rude? No. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. But should it be banned? I think, if nothing else, it's a part of the culture. It's exciting when a robot is coming through! I think the...

Re: robot combat league - syfy tv show
I enjoy it. It's not as cool as watching a FRC competition, but very little is. I'm really hoping it does well. While a little simplified for those of us who work with robots and (kinda) know what...

Last fall, our team decided to get a flag for this year. We kind of dropped the ball, so we just got the design today. Fortunately, it looks like we're going to get it in time for our competition,...
