Go to Post I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. - petek [more]

Same for us (except that we had enough money to pay for the pre-deposit cost, not the entire regional), only a very few team members are actually working to find sponsors or donations for the team, when I mean few I mean like two. Also our team wants to try and move onto a new drivetrain (since last year's was a huge failure). Which means pre-fabrication etc, etc, etc, which we haven't started.......

There are also quite a few time consuming games linked to in the chitchat forum.

Perhaps you could go read a book, that is something a lot of people do when they are bored.

...or you can e-mail me to get Pac-Sonic 1.1, even though it's simple, cuz it's version 1.1.

Re: Is it Bad?

Hmm.... pac sonic eh? seems interesting, yet VERY simple! :-P

Well, for me, as a rookie person from the team I'm in, well, we had a big meeting and it seems like we're going to be doing pre-season stuff very soon. Hopefully we'll get 3DS max 7 in and I can practise on that for the competition for FIRST (to build a 15-30 second video on safety). The best thing to do during pre-season is to perfect your skills at whatever you are going to do in robotics. Since I'm pretty much new to 3DS max and not new to anim8or and QuArK, well. I'll learn 3DS max pretty quickly, once I know the interface. Perfecting your techniques and helping others out is the best way to go. If you ever need help, we'll be here .

Re: Is it Bad?

Instead of just playing any old game while waiting for kickoff, why not play last year's game (EXE) I did not make it but it is tons of fun. You can even make the robot fly by holding two arrow keys together.

Yeah, I have to admit, I really picked a stupid name for this project, but I was at a loss, but the next project will be more fun. Pac-Sonic was merely something I'm doing in my free time (since waiting for January is such a pain).
Version 2.0 of Pac-Sonic is much more worth-while than 1.1.

Re: Is it Bad?

I actually find this to be an exciting time. You get to meet and have time to get to know the newer members on your team, and get yourselves ready for the build season. To be honest, it's much better getting a ton of stuff out of the way before you go through too much stress with the six weeks.
And no, it isn't bad you want the kickoff to come around. Honestly, it's good because it shows how much you love FIRST and how excited you are for it to start. Good enthusiasm! =) I myself can't wait either and want it to come around. Heck, I keep checking the countdown in my subprofile on AIM. Hehe...

I know the wait before Kickoff can be escruciating, but a watched pot never boils (and it's going to only get worse after school lets out for Winter Break). Cherish this time, and go utilize it to expand your horizons and round yourself out. When I took time off from FIRST, I did something I never expected myself to do - I joined a sorority. Today, both my experiences in FIRST and my experience in Sigma Kappa give me ideas to help aid eachother.

So get out there and explore!

Re: Is it Bad?

I try not thinking about it....the more you want it to come...the longer its gunna happen or come. Just like the Rascal Flatts concert im goin to tomarrow...for months before it i was excited as excited can be, but i pretended i wasnt goin because if i was excited every day for it to come i knew that the days would go by slowwww lol it will feel really good the day before kickoff because your so excited and its finally come because you havent been thinkin of it the past days/months. So i guess i can say that im not really bored and waiting for it to come...im just bein patient i guess. So just find sumthin to do to get your mind off it or sumthin lol im a busy girl so everything keeps my mind off of certain things and stuff like that.
