Jane's comments in the preceding post are spot-on.
I've posted my thoughts on FRC 71
before, so now I will keep it short:
(1) Why do I respect Car Nack's predictions? Hmmm, maybe it's the gleam of those four FRC Championship trophies on his credenza? Or, if that record isn't impressive enough,
(2) I've personally seen Team Hammond in action twice: once at the 1996 Championship (Epcot) where they seeded #1 in their very first event, and again ten years later at the 2006 St. Louis Regional (see link above). Both times, they were the most inspirational team in the field.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
