Drill holes

Drill holes in the Goal, this will make it lighter to move about so keep this tip in mind.

With that capability, a FIRST robot could double as a battle bot...

that would end the debate! why do one when you can do both at the same time!!!

other places to drill

We've been having problems with getting some members out of bed.

They complain of symptoms of their head feeling heavy and not able to life off of the pillow.

To lighten their heads and facilitate the ability to wake up, we have decided to drill holes in said members heads.

This will also have the added advantage to eliminate thinking and the use of reason.

We just have to figure out what size hole and how many to drill.

An expertise in this area?

You can drill holes in your heavy pneumatics cylinders to make the robot lighter.

Mmm... cheese.

But remember, only drill holes in your battery as a last resort.

We like swiss cheese. Those of you Oakland County teams may have seen our sprocket handiwork from OCCRA. It was amazing, I must say. Our sprockets for FIRST weren't nearly as "cheesy"
