Go to Post Active control of game pieces throughout all stages of your robot's interactions with it is critical. Never let gravity/inertia control the game piece. If you want a game piece to go somewhere, you MAKE it go there. - Jeremy Germita [more]

best line ever

and people youtube it there are tons of working sterlings out there may of which were made in the 1800s with less efficient materials with lower tolerances
there are also many diaphragms sterlings out there made of soda bottles, latex balloons, cardboard, wire I have even seen one power a canoe

I'm disappointed in your lack of imagination and how you pretty much made a attack thread what if deka was a team would you tear down their ideas??
