Elite teams are elite because of what they do in the off season not what they do during the build season. |

Spend more time building a robot that plays effectively and undoubtedly better than your opponents, and less time tying to exploit inter-alliance game mechanics to inflate match scores. |

You don't just click and drag the "Swerve drive go roundy roundy" VIs from the palette onto the canvas? |

My guess is that soon, everyone will see the merit of a 4-axis self-controlled robot arm on their robot. |

Try not to fall into the trap of choosing a material because it had the most supportive comments on CD. |

Welcome to a Chief Delphi poll, where the responses are made up and the numbers don't matter. |

It doesn't matter what material you pick, it matters how you execute your design. |

We also use CAD heavily. Cardboard Aided Design. Which is considerably more accessible and intuitive to most students than the other CAD. |

Gracious professionalism is an ideal that teams and individuals strive for, not a measuring stick to evaluate the actions of others. |

Make sure what you are using is polycarbonate and not acrylic or it may very well literally shatter your dreams. |

I think that if you're using semantics to pass inspection you're trying hard to be lazy (Trust me I'm really good at doing it). |

I implore you to not spend your mental energy on preparing your argument for the inspectors. We all have better things to be thinking about and working on. |

Teams must bring their own water. Water must consist of a low viscosity and at it's maximum width must not be larger than 12 in. |

If your goal is to make it to Einstein someday, someday you'll have to reach for the stars. It's just that the stars get a lot closer when you spent the offseason developing a rocketship. |

Every single person on the team, read the manual, cover to cover, NO skimming. Do not give the task of knowing the rules to a few people. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, READ THE MANUAL. |
