Robots: Behind the Design Who is submitting?

[MGoelz]

We will be submitting for the GM Industrial Design Award.

[=Martin=Taylor=]

We're putting together a submission for our "sucker," which won the General Motors Industrial Design award. We've got about half of it done, and that’s on top of all the other stuff we're doing. Hopefully it will be done by tomorrow...

If it isn't done in time we'll just edit some things and put in our submission for the Motorola Quality Award - which we also won with the "sucker"

Magazines like SERVO and ROBOT are always looking for good robotics articles and will actually pay you very well if they like what you submitted.

Check out their websites for author guidelines.

Why give all your hard work away for free? Think twice before signing away your publishing rights.

I believe Twain once said something about books winding up on shelves...
and magazines on the bottom of bird cages...

Does anyone know how to find out the resolution of an image? I'm using The GIMP if that helps any.

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but if you go to Image -> Scale Image, it has X and Y resolutions. Other than that, I don't know.

Anyways, 418 plans to submit for their Innovation in Control Award at LSR. At least, I think that's the plan.

Edit: The team information on FIRST's website has not been update for every team. If your team hasn't been bolded, and qualifies to be in the book again, send me a quick message, and I'll make the correction.
