Go to Post FIRST is the best thing that has ever happened to me...FIRST has taught me so much more than anything I learned in the classroom. The thing with my team, is we are so close, we are family, and I have figured out so much about who I am because of FIRST. - princessnatalie [more]

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: Not Your Average Washing Machine

Looks good - even better than the sneak peek.

The inspectors will have to check the Average Joes for pre-assembled mechanisms if the 2016 game turns out to be Laundry Launch.

I'm surprised t-shirts didn't make the potential game-piece thread

A shirt-spewing laundry machine is fantastically creative. Way to go Average Joes! Depending on how you drive it, you could really sell the "washer gone wild" idea - have it wobble back and forth, shake, and spin really violently before opening the lid and spitting out the shirts. You could even dress someone up as a rodeo clown and have them struggle with it. Good fun.

I think someone got video of a few practice/tuning sessions. Will ask around next team meeting.

Video for sponsor appreciation is in work -- look for reveal after school starts.

Down here, we've already had four weeks and a day of school! (Started Aug 7). Curiously enough, our first football game (tonight) is against the Destehan Wildcats, with whom we allied back in March to punch a ticket to CMP. Small woil', ain' it?

We're going to make the early start work for us, though - tryouts start a week from tomorrow! (We'd rather have 15-20 kids who are committed than 50-60 who we have to drag out of their other extra-curricular activities, especially given the size of our new work space. Anyone who does enough research to find this post is welcome to the knowledge; please don't pass it along to those who aren't so committed!)
