Re: Goals for 2012

I suppose mine aren't so ambitious, but they imply stretch goals similar to what's been posted:

1.) Be the best at the endgame this year, regardless of the main scoring goal
2.) Perform some of the decision aiding and numerical analysis techniques I've learned with my degree to find a quiet lucrative niche
3.) Seed #1 again
4.) Have a full render of the robot in various configurations, regardless of whether it's before or after the robot is built. (Often it's easier to spot a problem in build, redesign it via prototyping, and simply put the prototype on the bot...)
5.) Make a launch video and a wrap video

Re: Goals for 2012

1) Win the Palmetto Regional. (Fun fact: eight years in, no team has won it back-to-back; only 11 has won it more than once (2004--then 2v2--and 2006.))
1a) If 2815 doesn't do it, have SOMEONE from Columbia win the Palmetto Regional. (2815's gotten one gold and one silver, 1398's won it once, 1293's been stuck in semifinal hell for two years running, and 3976's got a solid start. I like the odds here.)
2) Win the Chairman's Award. (I don't know if we stack up, but I think it's always worth giving it a swing. Even those who miss are almost always doing good things.)
3) Win the Imagery Award. (This is my inner marketing guy screaming.)
4) Make SCRIW II even better than the first. (More teams, more smoothness of operation, more fun. It was hard this year since a couple of teams knew the concept, but now people know what we're about.)
5) Demo more. (We've done more and more events around town, but I think getting into the rhythm of showing off often is crucial to long-term sustainability.)
6) Have fun. (It's easy to get pulled away by infuriating GDC rulings, school district fiery hoops, weather delays, and shipping snafus...but this is supposed to be fun for everyone. Sometimes it takes a boot to the head to keep it that way. )

11 hopes to extend that record. They came very close to it last year.

Hey, we did that last year! Wait, does a 131.4 pound robot meet this goal?

2012 Goals:
1. Understand the game strategy as much as possible and let that drive our design.
2. Assemble a robust machine that can be repaired reasonably easily.
3. Have much more fun than last year.

Re: Goals for 2012

1) Not catch fire, explode, crumble, shatter, ect. in any way shape or form.
2) Not block an artery
3) Get sleep...this one is more of a "this semester" rather than "this season" though xD
4) Leave this team with them on the road to becoming a successful, high level team.

Guess which one is the serious one.

Thanks! I've put a lot of time and effort into this and there is some new stuff that I haven't seen any team do before that will be going up about 1/2 way through the season!
