Just because Mike wasn't responding to you, doesn't mean he doesn't have a valid point you should read. His reply to your concern that the presentations on the FIRST website:

Quote:
"have a very detached look on the work i do. I think that we should create one with a personal touch and more in depth advice. Ive found i do things that are extremely useful that you wont find in any of the guides they have and then again while they have things that would be useful to do with a robot that is larger or runs longer is completely redundant with our robots. I think that something written by the people who actually do this and constantly think about it would be extremely useful to beginning students."
seemed valid. In fact, I suggest you perhaps re-read many of the presentations on the FIRST website (all the ones written by FIRST participants).

Thank you Mike for pointing these out. They will no doubt be useful to anyone just starting in the program.
