 Yes, machining a dog profile into a steel sprocket on a manual mill was an experience filled with pain and regret. - Joe G. [more] |

Re: The New Cool
I read the preview which is like the first chapter of the book and now i can't wait for it to come out! When reading it, it reminds me of how exciting competition is and of course the excitement when we are given the new game for the year.

Re: The New Cool
Just finished reading the available excerpt of "The New Cool"! It seems to really capture the essence of FIRST. The kids with the crazy dyed hair and the kids carrying around the obnoxious banners, the enormous amount of team spirit....these are what robotics competitions are all about! And Neal Bascomb really captures that in the introduction.
I can't wait to buy this book when it comes out in March! I'll definitely pass on the book information to my friends and teammates!

Re: The New Cool
I can tell you first hand that this book is an excellent read. I read it last March (Neal is my uncle and I was given a draft of the book) and the one thing that really stood out to me was how honest the book was. It was able to capture the atmosphere of the build season, particularly the laborious CAD design sessions and the end of the season hussle, and it demonstrated the interesting dynamic between mentors and students. Regardless of my affiliation with the author, it is a great book and there were times during my read that brought me back to a prescise moment during my time as a high school student in FIRST robotics.

Re: The New Cool
I just ordered the book on Amazon, $15.91 plus $3.99 shipping. Can't wait to get it & read it. I hope to read some/most/all of it before I volunteer at the Connecticut Regional.
