Don't start celebrating yet. I haven't a clue if we can get this working. |

I'm a programmer by training and inclination, so my mechanical ideas are sometimes rather, um, loosely constrained by physical reality. |

The first law of programming is that there are always ways of doing things quicker and in less space than you already are. |

When we got it tuned to the point where we were (reasonably) confident it wouldn't slam into Dave's ankle, we quit for the evening. |

From past experience members of our team insist on never trusting gravity. |

Gravity is not always pointing the same direction relative to the robot! |

when I was a young whippersnapper, we didn't even HAVE Internet access at my high school in my podunk farmer town of Kinsman, OH! |

Girls, if you are techy, great! If you're not, don't worry about it. We're all good at something and FIRST can show you what that is. Just remember, be true to WHO YOU ARE.

FIRST is supposed to be a learning experience. Learn first, win awards later. |

but then again, isn't FIRST a sport? I mean come on now, our championship is nothing less than the super bowl. :) |

I don't think we should only be pointing at those with exceptional bots, but those that we consider a role model team in all aspects, not just in technical design |

Dave Lavery was right... all we had to do was type in "attack old lady" and when we started up our robot it did. |

No, we will not call you a "stupid freshman", we attribute your hasty remark due to lack of expirence, but you will gain that in time. |

WE might have a different plan than being overweight, but thats just my guess |

The robot was spinning, I dont have the energy to spin like that. |

(The wheels) need to be green anodized, and then assembled with yellow anodized spinners. ... and then, on the spinners, you can etch "JVN is a dweeb". That would be cool. |

make sure to make it look really cool, it makes it easier for teams to remember you, which comes in handy for alliance selections ;) |

actually, I don't work with mechanics, so I just barely learned what Lexan was a few days ago...long story... It's amazing the variety of things FIRST teaches us!!! |

You can have any color robot you like, so long as it stays that color. So you shouldn't have to worry unless you have a chameleon bot. |

How many FIRSTers would quit if they found it was bad for them? I think most FIRSTaholics are thirteen steppers ;) |

Winning the robot part of the competition is not about learning or doing unneccesary work. It works just like "winning" in industry. |
