Re: Getting pretty tired

Engineer on team #47, Chiefs, from Pontiac Central. Posted on 3/20/2000 7:36 PM MST In Reply to: Re: Sub Contracted ? posted by John on 3/20/2000 7:03 PM MST: : Basically, what I got out of your last post was the kids told you what they wanted the robot to do, then Delphi, using what it seemed to be infinite pocketbook (around a few hundred grand), and its expert engineers (which specialized in the field) AND Delphi’s connections made the robot work. I can't see how it was entirely necessary investing so much money into the project, seems how we made it to the finals using only a fraction of that amount. Johnny, Congrats on getting to the finals, but do you ask these questions because you want to learn something or just to satisfy some goofy thoughts about our 'pocket book'? I'm sure that you must have some preconceived notions regarding how much we invest in the robot, but believe me you are not even close! Why don't you come over to our pit in Florida I can set you straight on what we do, because it sounds like you are just trying to wind us up to get some sort of reaction. Or is this your way of rubbing it in? Please tell... : I heard you guys have another Chief Delphi robot with more advanced and revised systems you are planning to use at the Nationals, rather than the one you used at the Jersey Competition. Well, if that’s true, I can’t see it being very fair. Perhaps you can clarify that for me. This is even more of a joke than I can handle... Where do they dream this stuff up? : I'd also like to know if the students actually played a key role in the construction of the robot, or if their hands on experience was more revolved around assembling the Chief Delphi after all the major components had been built. I've already told you what involvement the students have. Are you suggesting that any, no let's make that ALL students - should have a certain amount of 'hands on' experience? You don't sound like you have ever listened to Dean Kamen or Woody Flowers, but then again .... maybe you can tell me - How much involvement you had in creating your robot. I believe that we can all learn from each other and since you must have had a 'great' robot (it made it to the finals) pray tell how'd you build yours? But if you just want to talk trash, take it some where else. This website is for sharing constructive ideas, not tearing down, or ripping on others. |
