Re: Why FIRST is different
On our team (in my experience) our student designers work with our engineering mentors to learn about how to engineer. I pushed that student/engineer relationship on our design team this year, and it worked out incredibly well. My CAD team and I learned about FEA, material properties, stiffness vs. strength, the pros and cons of materials, and a slew of other engineering practices (not to mention how nice a waterjet is.) I strongly encourage any/all teams (if not already doing so) to USE YOUR MENTORS. I strongly believe that this will be the best robot the Robostangs have ever had, and I know we couldn't have done it without our mentors.
To all the mentors out there, THANK YOU on behalf of your team. It's you guys that make FIRST different.

Maybe FIRST made these bumper rules so IRI would have something to blow off come July. - Koko Ed [more]
