Do you have a problem with non-robotics members....

[MarkF]

...being on this forum?

[Jack]

i really don't think that anyone is here that much unless they are invlolved with FIRST. (or was involved with first)

If you mean the Chit-Chat forum and how it has 'no-relation' to first, then no. The C-C forum is a great place just to talk about totally "cool" stuff with other people from FIRST. And now that posts don't count when there made here, it really doesn't affect the user's status.

- Whee...

PS: I'll give $10 (no... j/k ) to anyone who can guess what my avatar is a pic of. - Trust me, it's the MOST random thing in the world. (or at least that's on my HD)

nono, I mean the chiefdelphi.com website as a whole.

I see a craftsman tape measure, and some grass or greenery.

that would be a tape measure and a.... pencil?

A bonsai plant? Like the one in The Karate Kid?

Hey people, can we please stay on topic? lol, we digress way too much, lol

[rbayer]

When has Chit-Chat ever even had a topic? Much less one that lasted for more than 5 replies?

There's an easy way to get those kind of threads:

1. Stupid games
2. Politics (Republicans/Democrats suxor!)
3. Religion (there is/is not a God!)
4. Your mom jokes

As far as non-FIRST people here: well, why they'd be here in the first place is beyond me, but kicking them out doesn't really do much to expand the competition beyond making us look like Hitler Youth with remote controls.

I have no problem with non-robotics members being on CD as long as their intentions are honorable. If you're on here to learn more about FIRST and the opportunities it offers, great. If you're on here because you used to be involved and want to keep in touch, fine. But if you're on here for no more then random chatting, there are other forums on the net more suitable for your needs.

Even if you still want to be on CD even without caring about FIRST, whatever (I don't know why you would), but don't jump in here and start trouble. Respect each other's opinions and don't flame.

Ok... what it is is...

We were having our driveway replaced, and it's a mesurement of the width of it. So... yes, a tape measure a pencil to mark the end, the concrete and grass. - Nice job

NTS: I need to find a better avatar. looking.. (And someday i'll get enough energy to scan a pic of myself. )

PS: Sorry if this was a little off the orgional topic, but hey... It's the C-C forum.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as the person isn't randomly flaming and causing trouble, there's no reason they can't be here. It's not like people would randomly stumble on this as just a site to talk, they probably heard about it from someone, which means they're probably interested in robotics. If we're supposed to be reaching out to the communities, cutting people off because they're not "on a team" is rather hypocritical, I think.
Stacia <- tossing in her two cents cuz this subject has gotten her screamed at in the recent past

[evulish]

It's quite alright.

*thinks of Miss. Tree*

From whom do we get some of the most insightful thoughts? AFAIK, she's not affiliated with a robotics team.

Plus, andoutsider perspective is sometimes nice. And blocking outsiders would kind of kill the entire idea of the internet (not the original idea is still there, anyways *sigh*)

As long as the people aren't causing trouble...there should be no problem. That really even goes for FIRST members.

[MarkF]

Oh, hmmm....*looks at the poll.....then thinks of a certain member who screamed at purpledaisy* Well, look's like I ain't goin' anywhere! Hee hee.....

[Kristina]

what's up with this "they're not one of us"? Robotics people span a diverse group, its not exclusive. I'm not working directly with a team anymore and look, I'm studying poli sci and don't care much for science. But I offer my input where it helps when it can. As long as people aren't posting nonsense (we already know we can get enough of that from people on a robotics team ), then kudos to them for learning about FIRST...I mean people wanted more exposure for FIRST right?
