Andrew, it's best to remember no one in FIRST has a sense of humor. They take everything seriously and to heart. This fact has prevented more comical ideas my team members have had than anything else.

Breaking News: We are withholding all further segments of Dustin giggling like a schoolgirl until we receive more questions from our audience.

Unfortunately, this means that all time not filled by questions will now be filled with Chris Picone saying the word "um.." more times than he did last cast with cows mooing simultaneously in the background. No one wants that.

We're hoping to grow our fan base before the end of the year, when we hope to have a super special guest on for you, so please continue to tune in and look for future updates.

Jack

Re: [EWCP] - 11-13-11 FIRST Supplier Cast

I just sent this update to Richard Sisk, who invited me to participate in this broadcast:

Richard,

I am excited about Sunday's podcast. Looking at the CD thread, these are some topics that have been brought up:

1. Product development process: How does a product go from idea to manufacture to distribution?
2. Where are most of AM parts manufactured?
3. How large is the staff?
4. How much inventory does AM keep?
5. When does AM start production for build season?
6. What does AM stock the most of?
7. How did AndyMark get started?
8. The running idea of the "Thursday Robot Challenge" if the rules allow us to do it this year. (from team 177)
9. If and how many people go to AndyMark with component ideas for them to sell?

We can talk a bit about what new products may still come out (we have 2-3 in the works). Also, I would like to talk about the culture of collaboration between small companies who are in this niche market. We work with many, and have the idea that we should work together with our competitors as we build the market.

I can talk about all of these ideas, some more than others. We are fairly proud of our supply chain, and where things are made. I don't want to get too detailed about what sort of inventory we keep, but I can get more specific about the other things.

I will look to join in around 8:30pm.

Sincerely,
Andy

Re: [EWCP] - 11-13-11 FIRST Supplier Cast

I would like for you to ask Andy these:

What does he look for in an employee?

I have heard him say he is "always interviewing and evaluating" students.
What does he mean by that, anyway?

Will he be providing the equipment to deionize the water for the game this year?

<jwfoss> they're offering a hub that easily interfaces with sprockets and such
<MarkKramarczyk> teams are already getting and using them...
<MarkKramarczyk> ahhh... so it really about the hub, not the wheel
<jwfoss> the tire isnt custom, its just to support teams who cant make custom hubs
<schreiaj> Yes
<jwfoss> exactly

<rsisk101> Hopefully an AM product
<schreiaj> BB transmissions!
<Guest 15> lol
<rsisk101> Or maybe BB motors since it drives so much business back to AM

<andybaker> So, I am waiting a bit for the FTA schedule to come out, which takes longer
<rsisk101> How about Central Valley, new regional could use a good FTA
<andybaker> Ask for Mark or Jerry
<andybaker> Both are great
<rsisk101> And you as LRI
<andybaker> Brant and Brandon (AndyMark engineers) are going to sign up for FTA training too. I am focused on LRI
The Call has ended.
<andybaker> One thing I don't want to do too much of is doubling up, Mark as FTA and me as LRI (like we did at San Antonio last year).
<rsisk101> You as LRI for CV, and the entire EWCP crew as your minion inspectors
connorworley1538 has left the chat
<andybaker> We need to spread ourselves out and interact with more teams'

<MarkKramarczyk> Gotta see the customers
<thefro526> Andy, come to MAR CMP
<thefro526> you can witness the black hole that is Philly
<andybaker> MAR Championships... yep I will do my best to be there
<thefro526> (black hole == the game is completely different then anywhere else)
<andybaker> I've been to Ramp Riot a couple of times
<MarkKramarczyk> how so?
<MarkKramarczyk> how so is the game different?
<thefro526> You have to be here to understand
<thefro526> but it's more primative
<thefro526> almost like going to week 1 in week 6
<thefro526> and the reffing and judging is predictable... and questionable.
<thefro526> makes it an interesting place to play.
<MarkKramarczyk> i get a nice visual from that
<andybaker> Mark... heck with MI, you should just come with me out to MAR CHamps and check it out
<thefro526> You guys can hang out with Akash and I
<MarkKramarczyk> hmmm... nice idea... let's talk...
<thefro526> not to mention 341, 365, 25, 103 etc.
<MarkKramarczyk> it is good to get out of the MI sphere of influence from time to time
<andybaker> Dustin, I would be surprised if it is much different than other places. Each region has its strong teams and weak teams. Each event has tough calls
<andybaker> I'm looking forward to checking it out. Being next to Michigan and seeing it develop, I want to see how another District system forms up.\
<thefro526> Andy, from the 5 regionals I went to last year
<thefro526> Philly was nothing like the rest.
<thefro526> NJ/MD/NYC/DC/PHL
<MarkKramarczyk> How the next district develops will hugely impact all of the following ones.
<andybaker> agreed
<thefro526> Andy, maybe once all of the events become concrete in MAR and FiM we'll invite you back on to talk
<thefro526> Mark, you too
<MarkKramarczyk> FIRST seems to be letting the regions take the lead on defining things
<andybaker> that sounds good
<MarkKramarczyk> no problem
<andybaker> I am gonna sign off. thanks again for hosting!
<andybaker> have a good week, everyone
andybaker has left the chat
<MarkKramarczyk> night all

Re: [EWCP] - 11-13-11 FIRST Supplier Cast

Last night was my first time listening and I really enjoyed it.
Big thanks to Andy for coming on and sharing many of his experiences and stories and to the EWCP guys for putting the cast together.

I'm definitely hooked and can't wait for the next cast.
