Tipping opponents robots

[Joe Johnson]

All,
I am not a FIRST Noob. It's been a decade and a half since I read the Parade Article "They're competing with their minds - and loving it" by Michael Ryan (by the way, free Mt. Dew to someone who can find an online copy of that article for me to link to) -- an article that changed the arc of my life in ways too numerous to list...

I am asking for this discussion because

a) I have a new team with new drivers and one of the most aggressive chassis I have ever built. I really am looking for guidance. But more importantly,
b) I think that our lovely ChiefDelphi.com Fori have lost something in the several years since I have been away chasing a white rabbit called Robotic Amusements. We've lost the kind of discussions we used to have about what it means to be a FAS and non-FAS. Of course, we still have them but the signal to noise ratio is not what it once was.

I think we all can elevate our game here if we want to. As a small example, we can ask questions that are of specific interest but we can ask them in a way that has more general applicability.

So... ...the effort for me starts today. When are you going to start bringing your A Game to these fori?

Don't take too long thinking about it. We need more of us working to build the world we want to live in.

Join me...

Joe J.
