 30 point hang is brutal. Those who say it is easy are not thinking it through or are way smarter than the rest of us ... - Paul Copioli [more] |

Re: irony
None here so far but I went through a week like that last season...after day 2 I refused to touch the robot for almost a week and a half because I was afraid I was going to break the robot!
You might think about taking off tomorrow since it is Friday the 13th...

Re: irony
yeah...on my team i am no longer aloud to touch chargers because starting at cal games i fried the battery charger for the autonomous mode and it was out of charge and i have also fried one of our chargers in the shop. so everyone was joking that because i was weighing the electronics when they came in-thus touching the cRIO and stuff- that they wouldn't work

Re: irony
All I did was fry a spike -- the circuit breaker breaking about 15 times and the wires getting really hot didn't quite clue me in, so I almost switched it out for another... before a mentor enlightened me. I was a bit under the weather that day.

My very favorite quote from our very first year as a FRC Team, from one of our younger student team members:

Re: irony
I've done a pretty swell job of painting robot parts this year (if I might say so myself), but tonight I managed to create a horrible mess of the most visible section of the chassis. Spray paint + wind + gluing stencil down = not good. Luckily, one of our newer members happened to have some brushes and white paint, so it's almost erased.
Another fun incident is when one of our members got himself locked in the Taco Bell restroom on our way home from Sacramento. The manager had to kick the door in.

Impossible is just a big word for small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
