Talking Re: Mechanical tips for rookies

you forgot about BATTERYS and keeping someone on them at all times, check before matches, keep them charged during build for testing moments or when that Powered rolling skate board you come up with first is ready for moving.

its STUPID for the team to send a robot on the field without at lease someone knowing its voltage... then see it CHOKE and die

hmms heres another, when you mark something for cutting dont do it with a WIDE print dry erase marker... hmms use a flat head screw driver or dark .5mm pencil or ball point pen.
