Re: FIRST in howstuffworks
It is a pretty good article, but I did spot two minor errors. In the "Watching a Real Team" section, it mentions that the cost limit for the total robot is $20,000, instead of the correct figure of $3,500. In the "Building The Pink Panther" section it mentions pneumatic cylinders running at 20 psi instead of 120 psi. I sent them a note to correct the "nits" so we will see what happens. But overall, having FIRST included in the "How Stuff Works" web site is a great bonus!
