Re: Programming

My team bought a few Arduino cars from amazon that have worked well for us:

It's $70 but that's pretty cheap...

Re: FIRST STRONGHOLD Discussion

The rules for selecting defenses is confusing me.



The way I understand it is that each alliance gets to pick 3 defenses one from each category that the audience is not picking. My question is that...

Re: Team Math

(1114/1114)^254*2423=2423... coincidence or is it a sign for what's to come?

Re: aesthetic robots

There are many pretty robots but no list is complete without 118, 148, and 254. 118's robots are insane. I don't know how to describe them, but for some reason their robots remind me a little of the...

Re: Do we want another game without defense?

I really liked the lack of size restrictions this year since it allowed teams to make very creative designs. If FIRST could make a game with defense/robot-robot interaction and no size restrictions,...

Re: Predictions Championship 2015: Carson

Not sure about that. The #5 alliance 4488 67 225 5659 should be heavy favorites now.

Re: CMP Alliances - Please Post

How is it possible that 118, 1678, and 1671 are on the same alliance? Each of those teams can make 3 capped stacks on their own. That alliance is going to put up multiple 300+ point matches.

Re: Webcasts 2015

"HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY" - Some guy saying hey over and over again on the curie division stream. It's pretty annoying.

Re: 2015 Curie Divison

Re: 2015 Curie Divison

If 1114 and 148 team up, is the division deep enough for them to pick up a decent canburglar? Or is 148 planning on building one (not sure how much weight the have to spare since they no longer need...

Re: Our robot did something unique(?) at the New England Championship

I think this rare case of robot-to-robot interaction demonstrates how exciting it can be. I've really missed that element this year and I think it's one of the reasons why a lot of people find this...

Re: [FRC Blog] We're Listening

Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.

I agree with that point, I just don't agree that we should completely ignore what a mecanum wheeled robot did just because they did it at an off season event.

Re: Penalizing mecanum wheeled robots durring alliance selection.

I would actually argue the opposite. Teams have greater freedom to modify their robot during the off season because the rules are more relaxed and the robot isn't in a crate so you can make changes...

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

Euler, Euclid, Darwin, da Vinci, Edison, Tesla, Aristotle, Plato, etc. Just google famous scientists/mathematicians/philosophers/etc and you have yourself a decent list to choose from.
