You are given a goal with some simple restrictions. That's it. No one really cares how you get it done, just the fact that you get it done. |

you are going to gear that down right? Otherwise your robot will take about 10 minutes to reach its top speed of mach 2.6. |

My favorite question of all time asked by "outsiders": How much does/did that thing cost? How can you put a price on the hard-work and dedication it took to build these machines? |

If robotics is bad for you, well then I guess I'm gonna die. At least I'll die happy. |

If you water it and nurture it and fertilize it and put it out in the sunlight, it might just grow up to be a big lathe... :) |

If by hazardous you mean thinking about robots 24/7, waking up at 2am in the morning to jot some ideas down, completely losing your social life, and staring at a computer until your eyes hurt, then yeah! :D |

I wanted to make an epoxy/carbon fiber/fiberglass arm for our 'bot, but I was outvoted by conservative teenagers. Oh well...

Like many researchers before me, I look and read about what my peers are doing and developing, and then incorperate the best of them into my ideas or change my focus because of them. |

Yes, it can. You'll have to ask the lawyers around here whether it's legal or not. |

We tried to get clear aluminum, but it was on back order. They said it would be in by March 3, 2150. |

The version that finished nationals was about 50% aluminum and 50% the original PVC and we never had any member break. (structural member, not team member). |

I personally think that everybody on the team is important. No matter what, every single student, mentor, teacher put their effort all year long to get the team going. So in my opinion, Credit goes to everyone. |
