This was our platform in 2005 -- probably the most interesting year in 1294's history. The robot performed perfectly, all the time -- except when the team forgot to plug in PWM cables, or unplugged the compressor and didn't turn it back on, or when the drive team, which changed practically from match to match, didn't know what to do with the robot. It was a perfect storm of a simple, reliable robot that didn't LOOK reliable due to poor teamwork. A sobering lesson (and not my fault -- really).

When was the last time you heard of someone on their death bed talking about a great movie they saw? I think it far more likely to hear of their accomplishments, something they did to make things better. Well that's what FIRST is all about. - DougHogg [more]
