Posted by nick237 on 1/14/2001 3:18 PM EST: : I do not believe that "inteligent" people could leave out vital information deliberatly, it makes them look stupid. : I as a member of a limited sized team with limited skilled help, we consider our selves better off than teams "rookies" that are even more limited. As a member I have enough to do with the design, building and stratagy concept with out having to play "mind" games with FIRST. : FIRST is not so good that they dont make errors but it takes a big man to admit it. : The organizasion should make and send new drawings that have all the information corected, we can not depend on nonsensicle updates that make less sence than the original print. : I asked for clarification on the base angle iron of the ramp A1, A3, A4, and the reply was gibberish. : We did not have this problem to this degree last year, I could not find the drawing we used for 2000 as I wanted to see if it was made by the same person. : The ramp does not, and will not work as configuered. Math tells us so..... : nick237 : : : : : : As always the drawings are not great. I think this is done on purpose to cause teams to question, communicate and get the details right. The people at FIRST make very few errors, view this as a challenge presented to us, like the real world. : : I agree with Rob, AutoCad left to itself would probably dimension things better. By the standards used at the company I work for, the drawings used very poor practice. This is NOT typical of FIRST. Therefore the omissions and poor practice are DELIBERATE. But they also reflect the real world. Because poeple put the things in drawings that are important to them and don't always consider what the guy actually building something really needs. : : Speaking from experience : : Christopher H Husmann, PE : : Lead Engineer Manipulator Team : : Team 330 the Beach'Bots What exactly is wrong with the bridge?? I dont see any problem with it Justin Stiltner Team #388 Epsilon Grundy Va, |
