A FIRST Encouter with Physics

[scawsome]

I love the idea of this! If you want, I finished AP Physics and I can describe in detail how to predict projectlie motion (for soccer balls etc.) and several other physical systems (I also plan on majoring in physics in college too). So,I would love to pass on my knowledge with the first community and write. Just tell me what to write about and I will do it! Please talk to me sometime!

This is great! Having one document with everything a team needs to teach students about the physics behind their robots will lead to a better competition. At my old highschool (where I now mentor) the physics teacher used to run a robotics team back when Canada had it's own "Canada First" competition. They weren't a strong team technically and couldn't fabricate a lot of the parts but they were able to design robots using simple physics that won competitions.
