In any case, a drawing is important. You should never machine anything without having a drawing of some type to work from. |

What if, each alliance has a pile of AndyMark equipment in front of them. They then have 2:00 minutes to assemble said equipment, and build a working robot that will race to the other side and grab the other alliance's flag. |

I have many ideas, every last one of them involves finding something more productive to do with your time. |

I do want to remind people: Safety glasses, adult supervision and don't let freshmen touch the robot. ::safety:: |

I don't really care that the best on Curie may or may not be better than Newton, since we're going to spend the rest of the offseason discussing it no matter how the decision fell. |

My rule of thumb is that any team who's won four World Championships can count their chickens whenever they want. :p |

A pole is usually made of aluminum or steel pipe. You can get these wherever you get metal. :)
As for polls, there's a check box in the "Additional Options" section of the New Thread page that you can click to create said poll. |

In the absence of a valid game hint, the natives in CD tend to get restless and resort to this sort of pun-ishment of one another. |

I wake up at noon on Christmas Eve, and find tweets announcing a game hint. Looks like I won't be seeing much of my family today... |

To ANY Robowrangler students reading this thread:
If any of you ask me about the game hint, at any time, you will be assigned 4 hours of shop cleaning duty during week 1. No exceptions. |

The GDC probably took bets on how many posts they could get off of a random CAD render, and bonus points for how many people go insane from thinking about it! :yikes: |

Just a modest request for folks NOT to put 3000-pixel-wide pictures inline in the forum. A link to the big picture works just as well while keeping the text readable. Thanks. |

The whole idea of a robot competition is geared around spectators. Take that away and you have a science fair. |

The animation is just a pretty tool to help outsiders understand the game; the manual is for me, the animation is for my grandmother. |

If your robot can't play at least two matches on one battery, your mechanical design and/or driver strategy needs some rethinking. |

Everyone who has posted on this thread has brought about a lot of different ideas to the plate. Before it was just a simple 1 course meal in my mind. But when you post something on CD with tons of engineers and engineers in the making, your bound to have a feast!! |

The proper way to advance forward is by bringing the bottom up, not by limiting how high the top can fly. |

Students can learn to drive on whatever they give us. Ramps, carpet, grating, HDPE, lexan, diamond plate, regolith, other robots the driver station wall, referees, stairs, Dean, the bar, goals, the scorer's table, you name it, I've watched robots somehow manage to drive on it |

Glue it, screw it, bolt it, rivet it, weld it. If the design is flawed it will fail. |
