Re: pic: 1058 PVC Pirates 2016 Robot: Low Expectations

When we were building our robot's intake arm, an experienced mentor from 2177 and (I think) 2526 recommended that we use rivet nuts. He said that he usually recommends them to teams that are starting to become more competitive and advanced, where a chassis of c-channel, nuts and bolts is a little too easy.

6. Keep track of team updates, Q & A responses and FIRST blog posts
7. Be active on CD
8. Plan and execute drive team strategy
And more that won't fit on this list...
