Re: A little note about the prediction and who is best threads...

Good Post!


I would just like to add that EVERYONE works hard on there respective (and sometimes not even their respective) machines. Everyone IS out there to have fun and hopefully win. I think promoting your team on here is great, but like said above don't go crazy trying to win the championship.

Go out there, and make your robot perform to the best of its ability. Talk to teams and see if you are being noticed...if not, tell them to watch a match of yours. DO NOT make this your ultimate goal though. I lost track of how many competitions I've been too over the years (its a ton), and I have been in every possible position. From #1 to dead last...high expectations, to low expectations, and the best way to go is to expect the best of your robot. If the stars don't align for you, don't take it the wrong way, come back next year and prove the doubters wrong...see everyone out there.
