Re: One thing you learnt this season

I learned that nothing is impossible, even if it seems that way (even building a fully functioning robot in less than 3 weeks!)

Re: One thing you learnt this season

Very funny Yan...

I learned to not have so many things to do during build season. Really let my team down. But we still got everything done; so it's good.

Re: One thing you learnt this season

1.) Check the top of the drill press before using
2.) Clamp down aluminum while using box (mitre) saw

(I have a thumb to show for both...)

don't stand in line with the garage door spring when people are trying to take it off.

And, um, don't start putting 13 hour days in until you have to, or otherwise you will be wanting to go home at 6 on the night before ship. And your grades will look like you've had a serious case of senioritis.

To start planning far far ahead when creating an animation and start making objects that's not dependent on what the game is.

Re: One thing you learnt this season

I learned that staying as late as anyone and not leaving until the very latest (~ 12 the 2nd to last week, ~2 the last week) was the best thing that ever happened in my entire life. Yes, my grades did die, and yes, my body did die, but I grew more than ever before.
