Re: Welcome the Newbies

I am a 2-3 year competition veteran, and a new member at chief delphi, and everyone here seems to be as nice as they are at the competition. Very gracious, you might say. Tell me if I say something stupid, so I won't later though

Re: Welcome the Newbies

Hello all. I am Clint and I am on Team 2180. We are a rookie team thus being our first FRC competition. We competed in the VEX Challenge earlier this year and won Chairman's Award at the NJ Regional. Hopefully we can pull off the same feat again at the NJ Regional in Trenton. Hope to meet some of you at the competition. We dont mind any help or suggestions that you guys throw out there for us. We need all the help we can actually get.

This site looks to be great and everyone seems so friendly. Hopefully I can help contribute to the site as well as other members. Thanks for having me here guys and gals!

Hey everypeoples, I'm David on Team 964, whose team name is currently pending, as is the robot's. I've been following 964 for a couple of years. Anyway, this is my rookie year, I'm in the 11th grade, and am hoping to have fun on our way to the top!

Re: Welcome the Newbies

Hi, I'm Jilana from team 1306. I joined here months ago, but never got around to posting until now. This will be my team's (and my) fourth year in the FRC. I'm a senior this year, and I'm really excited for this season! My team's off to a better start this year than we ever have been before.

Edit: Wow, I never realized it's been more than a year since I joined here without posting at all!

Re: Welcome the Newbies

I'm not new to CD, but here goes

I'm Otaku, aka Michael Baker. I'm the team chassis geek and one of the two communists on the team (what this has to do with anything, I don't know. But I do want to name this year's bot "Lenin").

I'm also the team's unofficial emissary/socialite.

If any teams or people need help with chassis work or drivetrains, feel free to ask me. I'm not ace at drivetrains, but I've learned my fair share. I'm also on the pneumatics team, but since our team doesn't use pneumatics, I'm not very experienced in the field.


So, welcome to CD everybody.

-Otaku, 675

Re: Welcome the Newbies

I understand the reasoning of this thread and I had a similar thing happen to me once. However, don't worry about it. They are not going to form an angry mob. And the points really don't matter. However, it is fun to give the newbie's a hard time. (more fun in person). So, I am not saying don't give them a hard time. Just don't scare them while doing it. When you do that, it is no longer 'just having fun', then it is 'just being mean'.

Also, since everyone has been posting a brief description:
I am Molten (AKA: Jason). I know most of what there is to know on Inventor and am known for thinking outside of the box. If you need any help just send me a PM.
