Sanddrag,
I am a little hurt. I am upfront and honest with all who are interested in learning. I can't come and find everyone and force them to learn what I know. I go out of my way to answer questions on these forums and at competitions. I will lend a hand to whoever asks. (and some who don't) If you want to know intimate details about what we (Wildstang) do to be competitive, you only need to come and look at our robot and ask questions.
I take the FIRST ideals to heart. "Gracious Professionalism" requires me to answer you, honestly, and in a way that helps you understand the concept(s). This is a learning experience for students and adults and I will happily tell you what I know and hopefully, I will learn something new in the process. Remember, it's not the winning that is important it's the learning. One of my personal goals in life is to never go to bed unless I have learned something new that day. First makes that goal extremely easy.
Sanddrag, I have known you from these forums and I would like to extend a personal invitation to come to our pit at Nationals. I will answer any question you (or anyone) have or find you someone who can.
Al
