paper: Richard's Top Ten Boneheaded Mistakes

[techtiger1]

Bob thats a true story too, 1251 has one of those receipts too never made that mistake again. Richard great compulation of thoughts and ideas very well presented. Thank you. I will certainly take the time to hand these out before kickoff to every student, veteran or not. Actually some of the mentors could probally use this one around too. =).

My favorite part is how Texas is it's own "region" in the US.

7 is very important and so is 3. Controls and software are the most overlooked IMO.

We too have one of those tether receipts. A newer mentor plugged in the tether before trimming anything or lifting the wheels. Worse, it was for Stack Attack, so the bot ran up a half finished ramp and literally flew off the other end.

At any rate, in light of posts about the IR thread, perhaps we should add testing circuit boards on anti-static bags or other conductive surfaces.

Although not a Texan myself, I hold with many others that Texas is indeed its own region.

My great-aunt Edith did her doctoral work in Texas, and then embarked on an academic career back in the day when female professors were almost unheard of. She taught history at Delmar, down in Corpus Christi, for over three decades, before retiring in Austin. Hers was a commanding presence, at family gatherings and elsewhere.

Aunt Edith insisted that Texas is more than a State, it's a state of mind.

This is a great find for a rookie parent mentor on a 2nd-year team. Thanks.
