Go to Post We only ask that, when able, you too help other teams as we have helped you. It is this mentality of passing it forward that makes teams and FIRST great. - E. Wood [more]

Team 401

Team 401 has been built by college students and high school students for 3 years (to be 100 % honest we have had quite limited support from a few engineers, one, a students dad, and the other a VT alumn who is a manufacturing engineer, though it both cases there contributions were small relative to the total span of the project *hope i don't sound ungrateful, they did still help the team out*)
I'd also be willing to bet we're among the earlier second generation teams (teams spawned by graduates of other FIRST teams at some of the best engineering schools in the country)
We're also unusually fond of polycarbonate (take a look at last year's 8 inch tall sherman tank made with no structural metal)
and here's a shameless plug for this year's robot

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pi...rrow=4&trows=3

featuring the polycarb scoop, conveyor cover, basket liner, arm latches and certain motor mounts and more.

There's probably more that will come to me in a day or so when i've completely caught up on sleep

"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe .... In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. "
