Go to Post I don't know how you can blame a robot getting stuck in the goal on the GDC. The field drawings showed all of the dimensions of the goals. If a team doesn't want to risk getting stuck then they need to plan around it. - JamesBrown [more]

Whenever something doesn't go you say the watchdog wasn't fed.

The watchdog is basically a safety program you run so if something goes wrong it kills your program. It needs to be fed data from other processes. If it isn't fed data well it says Watchdog not fed When it is not fed your program is not allowed to boot.

When as soon as you get home from Atlanta you begin researching travel arrangements to St. Louis.

By the way, does anyone have an antidote for a FIRST overdose??

I wasn't aware that there was a market for an antidote. Isn't our goal to overdose?

You have a brainteaser problem for physics about Issac Newton, and at the end of your work, you write "ISSAC-"

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

At the minute the season ended you started brainstorming on next year's challenge.

you see a known combination of team number in random places you get excited.

Chief Delphi is your second most visited page on the internet.

You send off a player in soccer for Denying an Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity, and then think, "Did I report that as DOGSO or DOGMA?"

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

You have so many ideas at meetings, paper just isn't fast enough. As a result, you will probably get ink poising from all the stuff you have written on your hands and arms.

...and your team is starting to accept this as common place.

You're watching a hockey game and do oh well if they win, their seeding points will be 5+4*2+5, which would be 18. That's not bad, oh wait never mind that means nothing here. lol
