Re: One or Two Drivers??
As someone who's worked with 3 different operators as well as flown solo over my 4 years, I think I can provide some unique insight here.
First of all, I feel that 2 drivers, if done right, is...

Re: FRC 71 2002 Marching technique
Derailed thread is derailed, but this is a fun discussion.

Re: Team Update 14 (2016)

Re: Withholding Allowance
While this seems odd, what rule, exactly, would prevent it? Only what's going out on the field has to be sub 120lbs, not everything in the bag...

In the false state of the case structure in Teleop, the solenoid must be set to reverse instead of forward. Additionally, in Begin, make sure your PCM ID and...

Re: Wiring Multiple PCMs
As a team that's using two PCMs, I can tell you that powering them on seperate circuits is required by the rules (on mobile so I can't quote the specific one but trust me.) We're wiring the second...

Re: New radio
It glows instantly IIRC, but make sure you're in 12V. You stated earlier that it's plugged into the same spot as last year, which is incorrect. If you're using last year's VRM, the new radio should...

Re: New radio
It doesn't go in the same spot. Plug it into the 12V 2A rail of the VRM.

But back to the question at hand: it depends. From a strategic perspective, it doesn't make any sense to hand the...

Re: Boulder shenanigans
In addition to what's been said above, the way I read G34, it's okay to have 7+ boulders so long as the human players immediately pick up the excess and introduce them to the field; as such, you...

The wording of G11 is important; BLUE's goal in this scenario has to be to draw the foul. The specific phrasing of the blue box seems to suggest that BLUE would get a G11 if they hunt down RED for...
