Q & A

Back at the power house we have a saying... if you can 't get it to work with a big wrench and a good kick... get the manual and use it on the thing!

There another saying I've heard... "when all else fails, try reading the manual"

Wish they put pictures in this thing like the McDonald's manual !

does anyone have any ideas on how to fasten the bumpers onto the robot. i was in charge of coming up w/ the idea for it and it worked very well, but it was a big hastle to take the bumpers on and off after each match so that the pit crew could get to the insides. any suggestions would be very much appreciated and helpful

In the spirit of how this question would be answer in FIRST Q&A (which is the subject of this thread):

A. Yes

Note: I sent a PM to lopz056 about my response (please don't whack my dots...I like them!)

If the FIRST Manual was as easy to read as the McDonald's manual, then FIRST would be excellent preparation for working at McDonald's.

Wait, that isn't what we're trying to accomplish, is it?

It's like the GDC "super-sized" the Poof Ball this year - maybe there IS a McDonald's manual somewhere in FIRST...
