Honestly though, having a cave would be one of the greatest places to build a robot. There's already lack of light and lots of floor space! Well, if you have a good cave sponsor, that is. |

Recently my wife and I met some mentors from Michigan with their wives at Disney World. It seems that I'm not the only mentor who needs to bribe their wives with vacations before they sign up to mentor FRC for another year... |

According to a 6 year old I once met at a demo, our FRC machine was not a robot because, "How can it be a robot if it doesn't have a face?" |

For what it's worth, while they may or may not be legal as safety glasses, Steampunk goggles are perfectly legal as forehead protectors. |

Your primary job is not to build the most technically advanced robot, but build the best possible team. |

Look for metal shavings in a pwm port; that's caused us to crash plenty of times. |

So we had forklifts in 2015 and now front end loaders in 2017. First has really embraced the industrial side of robotics. |

I would go even further and say always hate your robot. Keep breaking, iterating, and trying to figure out how to change the robot from week one of build season to champs. |

Maybe FIRST could get a sponsorship from Ikea, and we all could get flat-packed field parts with pictoral assembly instructions. And then all the parts could have funny names. |
