Isn't that sort of like asking "is that an African or European swallow?" |

Geekier than me? That's a goal you can shoot for. You might make it, too -- in twenty years or so. :cool: |

We'll defintely be working on both the balancing 2 wheel robot, the 6 legged robot, and the wood chassis 8 wheel drive robot ideas this fall. |

I'd like to welcome all the rookie teams to FIRST. Hang on tight! It is a wild, crazy and fun ride that will impact your lives for decades to come. |

BTW - using any Lavery clue to figure anything out could be equally impossible. |

I thought of this at least a couple of years ago, but I didn't post because I didn't want to give Dave any fiendish ideas. He has enough without our help. |

My crotchety old person opinion is that it should be illegal to try to win the award. Do things because you like doing them or because it helps others. Don't do things to win awards. |

I've come to the conclusion that the only way Pat's awesomeness can be explained is.... Pat Fairbank is a cookie. |

Remember to ALWAYS use physics in engineering discussions. There is really no room for "feelings" in this sort of thing. |

We try to limit ourselves only by physics. As the first person on the planet to communicate over a quantum encrypted AOL instant messenger session, I try to ignore those limits as well. |

The Tekin's used to constantly suffer from spontaneous combustion, it was extremely frustrating how often they would go. |

I, for one, am perfect and therefore make no mistakes.

If they need a place where they can get a chance to learn interpersonal skills (like a team), it might just help them to become well-adjusted adults, as opposed to pathologically antisocial engineers (who got good grades). |

It's always better to figure out why a design actually works and the best ways to implement it than to just assume upgrading to a "better" material will make everything work. |

Rule 1. Never take Dave's hint's seriously.
Rule 2. Watergame. |

The function of that part is to keep one student occupied playing with it during the entire build season. It doesn't have to be the same student all the time, they can take turns. |

Robotics competitions take place in the same "perfect" environment that basic physics equations take place in. :rolleyes: |

What good will it do to have 10,000 teams who barely have a clue and are just scraping by versus 2,000 teams that are actually sustainable? |

"This is the year that everyone on CD is going to learn to spell."
"This is the year that everyone on CD will make a serious effort to write grammatically correct sentences."
"This is the year that everyone on CD will think BEFORE they post."

I personally hope they change the terrain of the playing field ... if only to "level" the playing field. |

No really though, a robot game with rules similar to Risk. This would combine FIRST, Battlebots, and US Government... |

Everyone is reading way too much into this. The game piece is clearly a bunch of Opahs this year. Problem solved, case closed. Start designing your fish handling robots now. |

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 15:57.
In the end the important thing is that the rookie members who make up the majority of our team were inspired and will try much harder next year. :) - aeniug2 [more]
