I personally think mentors should sit behind two-way mirrors and hold a kill switch for all power tools. ;) |

If my shop was snowed in and my unfinished robot was sitting in there, I'd dig it out with a plastic spoon or melt it out with a Bic lighter if I had to. Every hour counts. If there's a will, there's a way to make it happen. |

It is crucial to keep experience and keeping collected under pressure as high points that can't be measured in a test. |

I suggested it in brainstorming, but then people threw things at me. Apparently there ARE bad ideas in brainstorming. |

Teams that take care of the little things often have much less trouble with the big things! |

Please ask yourself..."If my robot is on fire and the pneumatics are randomly activating, is my main breaker someplace that I want to put MY hand?" |

Bumper quality is an "attention to detail" measure. Teams that get little things right tend to do better on the big things. |

Mentor: How is that held in place?
CAD Lead: Go to the hardware store and buy a bag of constraints and put the constraints on the robot. |

Every team should have a rule about not shouting "ROBOT!" when transporting a robot around the pits/arena. |

Is the bottom slot just to make the whole thing look like a smiley face, or is it functional? |

In the end, we were successful, but the tale is one of such stupidity that it should be engraved in drool upon a failed math test. |

We've been thinking about just declaring our smallest kid on our BOM and making her part of the robot. |

Ya know...sometimes, design specs get changed at the last second. Or the market changes while you weren't watching. It Happens. |

They could release an update saying they were going to give every team free puppies and kittens, and many teams would vehemently complain this change was too late to budget dry kibbles into their budget. |

"there are two types of underprivileged teams; the ones who whine about being underprivileged and the ones that work to become privileged". |

It's the corollary that you pick them no matter what shape they start the event in. Pink is known for showing up at their 1st regional with the robot in an unfinished state. And somehow, magically by the end of qualifications it just works, and they win. |

By the end of week six, I'm sick of looking at the robot enough that stuffing it in a bag is rather cathartic...:rolleyes: |

118 embodies everything this entire program is supposed to be about: INSPIRATION. Respect that. Acknowledge that. Support that. |

Every year, 118 inspires our team to dream for the stars, and land on mars. If 118 wasn't there we wouldn't be off the ground. Think about it every superstar has critics. Keep doing what you do 118. |

I bet if anyone took a look at the 118's Bill of Materials the only thing that would be on there is hard work and that's priceless. |

That's awesome. I sort of like the smaller venues. You get to know teams on a lot more personal level. |

Since you have to undo all the connections anyway in order to swap them, you might as well take advantage of the opportunity to do some simple and straightforward troubleshooting. |

Whether or not you use wheel weights, if you're running a wheel at several thousand RPM, you'd better have an effective containment system to protect the outside world in case something spontaneously disassembles itself. |
