Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff

Very well done.

Greg, take note. This is a good thing to do while waiting for kickoff.

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff

A couple of things.

1. Yall must have all sorts of time on your hands.

2. It seems kinda weird that you guys are practicing lifting trophies. Never good to count your chickens before they've hatched.

3. What is that greenish cover book in the video?

My rule of thumb is that any team who's won four World Championships can count their chickens whenever they want.

I'm guessing you are not familiar with the Small Parts Catalog, and it's historical role in FIRST. Try the link on the CD portal when you have a few minutes.

Nice job on the video!

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: Team 71 Prepares For Kickoff

This just brightened my day. When will the PVC for dummies book be available to the public? What about the Design by Beatty series of books? I put in a pre-order back in 2008 and would like to have a rough estimate. Thank you.

I generally agree with Karthik here, I would also like to say that it might be a good thing for 217 to count their chickens before they hatch, wouldn't want any freshman getting list would we?

The joke's going to be on you when you realize that eggs are this year's game piece.

Never doubt the force of Beatty

Whenever you have free time on your hands, just ask yourself this: "What Would Beatty Do?"
