Re: New Game Progress

The last little bit of exchanges in this thread are a great example of what I sometimes think of as the Dave phenomenon and although cool, I sometimes wonder if his points are getting across to our young and future engineering minds. Dave is well-known in CD for his humor, his hints, and his wit. For many who take the time to read his posts very carefully, he is also known for his intelligent wisdom, his guidance, and his wealth of knowledge. The concern I have in this last exchange is that some folks will get caught up in the pwn/pwn-back and potentially miss the information that he shared in his post regarding design aspects of the robot as well as providing an opportunity to think beyond the gaming world and into the engineering world. Different perspectives, different expectations - if one thinks about it. Dave is very cool and also very fun, but he is also a respected source of knowledge and experience. It an amazing opportunity for the young students involved in FRC to experience.

Sorry, I've been wanting to say this for several years and finally did. I'll stop now.
