Go to Post Temp wiring is always bad but it is made worse when dealing with a $1000 part. You wouldn't try to lash a makeshift power source to your PC. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!

JVN,

Sounds like fun! our team already puts a lot of effort into documenting every meeting and event on our blog: http://kbotics.ca/blog/

The hardest part looks like publicly documenting what you are working on without giving the idea away. If someone reminds me I'll try and put it all together from the blog posts at the end of the build season, I remember following your facebook posts last year during build and trying to figure out what you guys were thinking.

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!

For text updates, we've added "Update the team Twitter feed after every meeting" to the website team's responsibilities. (Back when I was in high school, I posted daily updates of about tweet length to the team website, but since then no students have updated those pages...). I'll [continue to] post updates to my Facebook from the meetings I'm present at.

As a corollary to JVN's request, for the 2011 season I'd like to get a screenshot of the current SolidWorks model of our robot taken every day throughout the build season. After ship date I'll compile them all together and have them uploaded to the photo galleries on the GUS website to visually show how our design evolves throughout the season.

But guys, won't you lose your competitive edge that way? How will you ever win two regionals?

this is a joke post - 1726's complete willingness to share is an inspiration and has served them pretty well in the past, their robots earning two regional wins

2175 is blogging the build on the team blog:
http://frc2175.blogspot.com/

After seeing the first couple posts I reminded the students that a picture's worth 1,000 words so hopefully most/all posts will be accompanied by a picture from here on out.

Re: JVN Challenge: Record your Season!

I have committed to doing a brief description of each day of the TechnoKats build season. This will be done specifically for people who are not familiar with FIRST or FRC, so I am intentionally not going into great detail. The daily messages are going out to an email discussion group. If anyone would like to follow along as I post my short "journalettes", they are presently being archived here:

http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2011...ry/thread.html

You might guess that they will also begin showing up under a new URL next month:

http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2011...ry/thread.html

Look for messages written by ghunchu'wI' 'utlh and having a subject line beginning with qoqqoqmey. That's Klingon for "so-called robots". The author's handle might be translated approximately as "hacker emeritus".

Oh, did I mention that I'm writing them in Klingon?

I don't see myself finishing our website anytime soon (read: during build season). We will be keeping our logs on Facebook.

I challenge anyone to do that in either Quenya or Sindarin.

(Not that anyone will appreciate it, but "robotish things - day eleven" should show up at http://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2011.../msg00130.html soon.)
