Re: If You Could Start Over With Your FIRST Experience...
This is a tough question because it's hard to figure out a situation in robotics that both had an important outcome later in my experience, and didn't end up having a net positive effect on me when all was said and done. For example, when I competed in FTC my junior year, I could have built a better robot or spent more time in the design phase, gotten mentors, etc., but then I likely wouldn't have been picked by the alliance I did. I wouldn't have won the event, wouldn't have been offered help by 1714, and wouldn't have jumped into FRC.
So really, I can think of a lot of things I wish I did differently, but I wouldn't change any of them if I could.

It's rather simple: you start with a block of solid and remove material until you just have the robot left. Kind of like making a sandcastle. Only harder. - petek [more]
