It makes me wish I would have paid attention in my physics class... |

Some people use Autodesk, some SolidWorks, some Pro-E, but 772 rose to the call of an unconventional CAD language, Minecraft. |

You know you are a true tech geek when you end up on top of the Sears tower, and the only pictures you post are the ones of the radio antennae. ;) |

I'm really impressed with how much effort we'll go to, to avoid buying a $25 servo tester. |

Whether we realize it or not, we've all been touched by the works of Dr. Kamen - through his TED talks, through his research and scores of publications in pediatric oncology, or perhaps more directly through his daughter. What an incredible life, what an incredible legacy. |

I love how your suggestion for MCC is one of the most elite robots of the year, and one of the World Champions. I also love that I really can't argue with you. |

I am a FRC Coach/Mentor I don't know the meaning of the words "days off" or "rest". At least not from January to May. |

When you open of CD and you see your very own quote up top, and can't decide if it's a really awesome or "Well...this is awkward..." moment |

You know you've been in FIRST way too long when you can remember all those hints... even down to exact wording... and only have to look up the most recent. |

Engineering rules of thumb don't form the garbage that goes into the making of the robot. They take the garbage of the real world and turn it into more pure, if slightly diluted, data. |

Never allow your students to get away with an answer that amounts to "because it's better". Have them prove it to the best of their ability, and when they're wrong, ask them to figure out why they're wrong. |

You never know when the GDC will slide in a rule about any robot with a laser must do a laser light show on the floor of the field or face a 50-point penalty :p. |

So your gearbox failed, and your first course of action was to post about it CD?
This is an interesting failure recovery plan. :) |

I am always torn between running a family and running a team... I guess the difficulty is in supporting the team as a whole before the individual...or alongside the individual. |

I find this ironic. In English class our teacher's tell us how there is symbolism and such, and we don't understand it or think its there. Then FIRSTer's get a Game Hit, and we think EVERYTHING is a symbol and has some significance. |

Equally possible is that we're just providing some lunch-break entertainment for the people in the GDC. |

My calculations indicate that the game will involve pouring large areas of concrete and waiting for it to dry. Field reset should be interesting. |

Be watchful of the "man this is so cool we should do it in build" as I've embarrassingly fallen victim to it so many times before, with varying results. |

We draw the line when our students are more affectionate towards the tools rather than eachother. |

you know your team has respect from teachers when classes start waving projects during build season saying you get full credit if the robot ships. |

Building a robot to survive 2 districts, a Regional, a Region Championship, and World Championships (plus 4 - soon to be 5 - off season events) is a challenge in itself. |

Go with a Big Block. The torque is awesome and you cant beat the sound of a built Big Block with a high lift cam and some open headers. A blower would be a nice addition as well.
Good luck getting past the inspector. |

We use the engines of our imagination on the robot all the time.
