No, but you have access to the most powerful machine tool of all; a telephone. We had zero machining sponsors, now we've probably had over 30 unique shops run parts for us; All we did was ask. |

You should always do CAD no matter how you plan on having parts made. |

(middle school age) One time I had a truly awful day at school and came home crying. My mother's response? "Do you want to go to the build session tonight? It will make you feel better.."
And it did. It always does. |

You know you have FIRST Kickoff fever when you know when Kickoff is but not Christmas. |

We also have a " big daddy" hand riveter. In my estimation one could have assembled the George Washington bridge with it. |

The only constant in FRC is change. Learning to adapt to change in competition is the best way to prepare for change in real life. |

Jon is very right, going forward I have a hard time envisioning any future Championship Chairman's award winners without a significant social media presence. It's just too big of an avenue to be ignored. |

[Hints] usually come out right before Christmas.
Be patient, and go do something else with your life while you still have time! |

Clearly they're releasing the game hint on 12/21/12 because they know the world's going to end, and they want to keep FIRSTers happy and distracted until the very end. |

Ladies and Gentlemen I believe this is the first time a Fantasy FIRST draft has been completed before it's allotted start time! |

I used to wonder if the FRC staff would read the CD game hint posts and just laugh to themselves..now I know they do. |

I, as a programmer, always strive to have the entire robot operate with as little driver input as possible. Those pesky humans.... |

We can relate anything back to water, and by anything, I literally mean ANYTHING. Surfing around on Chief Delphi has proven that to me. |

Don't give FIRST ideas...we like our 45 day build season. They can make it shorter. Never underestimate the power of the GDC. |

Those four stages will most likely be supplanted with the more aptly named phased approach: "Don't Panic", "Consider Panicing" and "Why havent we been panicing?" |

I've completely figured [the hint] out:
Robots will have to move around, and also displace objects in order to score points.
What do I win? |

So every 3 years robots have to lift robots? There's yet another pattern to consider. :p |

I'll toss this out to stir up the pot: if you need double precision floats for your FRC software, you should re-think what you're doing. |

Not sure if its fair to call this or not yet. Back a group of dedicated teenagers far enough into a corner, and they're gonna find a way out. |

As you get more into your years in FRC, you start becoming friends with more people. You should try it out. Robotics people are pretty nice. |

You do use CAD to prototype, Cardboard Aided Design. |
