Re: 2005 Manual

Let me set some things straight with regards to the Mabuchi motor. The Fisher-Price gear box uses either Mabuchi or Johnson Electric, depending on which gear box F.P. donates. FIRST contacted me last Fall to get my contact information for both companies. I have been using the same two individuals since 2001, one from Mabuchi and one from Johnson Electric to get the F.P. specs. I gave FIRST the information and called my contacts giving them a heads up. I am 95% confident FIRST will have the correct motor performance curves, because I assume they will call my contacts.

I guarantee that if FIRST calls my contacts, then they will get the same information that I normally get. Judging from the manual, it looks like it will be Mabuchi this year.

-Paul

Finally, the Chairman's award is now being submitted online, is limited to 10000 characters (instead of four pages), can only include 4 photographs, and must be under 1MB in size. Instead of being freeform, it looks like it will just be a web form. I guess FIRST is trying to eliminate the graphic design and layout aspect, and wants to just focus on writing ability.
Or maybe they just want to focus on content as opposed to looks ...

This essay should be a team effort and will stand alone as the team’s entry to award their candidate the deserved recognition.
That's not a lot of info to judge on...

600 characters=This is a test. (with one space after), 37.5 times
The Awards, page 5 (no headers or footers) = 2924 characters

Also, how do you get pictures of the person without telling them???

Every year our team gets pictures of every member of the team and all mentors, either while they are working or more commonly just a "mug shot". We post these on our website along with short description about the person.

You could easily do something like this to get a picture of your mentor. If your team dosen't do something like this for your website you could just tell him you need it for such a purpose, but don't mention the woodie flowers award. Also there's just simply cutting him out of a team picture in photoshop or get a picture when he's presenting or explaining something.

Its not all that hard to get a picture of someone without them knowing you need it for something like the woodie flowers award.
