things to keep in mind while in the pits..

[coreyjon]

yea, good mention of Murphy's Law, this year I'm counting on the robot stealing my donuts in the morning, and planning accordingly. On a more serious note, I'll have to repeat: Organization in the pits. If you aren't organized and you can't find the tools you need, then you can't perform the tasks at hand. so while last year I was in charge of our pit (title: Pit Master Chief as well as the lead mechanic) it was one of my duties to insure the pit was clean and organized (as far as the tools and supplies directly related to the robot). This year I am a mentor, so I guess I'm supposed to try and teach people what I've learned over the last few years. It's gonna be hard to watch from the sidelines as this years robot gets built. Although I may get props on designing the gearboxes this year. JVN (I'm about to make a shameless reference to highlander) "There can only be one"! just kidding john. I'm looking forward to seeing the goods from Clarkson's team this year, Hopefully I will be in charge of the transmissions, I have spent many hours designing, and making things interchangeable,(yea thats right, bringing in interchangeability for added flexibility) but the fact is that me designing this years gear boxes is not a sure thing (yet)(but I hope I get to use some of my designs). Time to train a small army of younger kids, and then they could build it. 0000 I like the idea of having a small army..
