Re: [FTC]: World Championships Recommendations
Also, make sure to eat properly and stay hydrated. It seems simple, but when things get hectic (and at some point, they will) it can be pretty easy to forget. I say this because I learned the hard...

When you keep an eye on this thread for months so you can post your team number... and are then angry that you missed it because you had to go get a haircut.

Re: Vote For FIRST
I'm trying to vote, but the page keeps constantly refreshing every time I pull it up. Any idea what the problem is? (I'm assuming it's on my end.)

Re: pic: Unknown FTC team at wrap party
Yup, that's the Techno Chix, not us. (We were still wearing our team shirts and jackets during the wrap party). They're the other Girl Scout FTC team, so it's pretty easy to get confused.

Re: Teams That Stood Out To Me
I'm flattered that 2429 made your list of teams that stood out, Shishkaa. Thank you very much!
As for robots that stood out to me, I'd like to nominate team 1717. They had an amazing lifter, an...

Re: Robot Names
2008: Foothill Flyer 1.0
2009: Leviathan
We still haven't picked a name for our 2010 bot; votes are currently split between Captain Falcon and Excalibur. I'm pushing for Captain Falcon. :D

High score at San Diego yesterday was 322 points, second highest was 256 (and would've been higher had the match not ended a second before we could shoot the bonus ball). Both of these happened...

Disabled robots always stay on the field until the end of a match. It's just far too dangerous for the referees to run in amongst five fully operational robots, pick up a (potentially tipped) robot,...

Oddly enough, money was the deciding factor for us picking FTC... because Girl Scouts only sponsors us for FIRST.

For one match, our laptop was out of battery so we opted to run our entire alliance on one laptop (as opposed to the field's FMS). Really, really, epically bad idea. Both robots lost connection...
