you set your alarm clock to your team # ex: 9:32 |

Most of our old robots have been scrapped for parts. Our Chairman submissions are still read every year by the whole team. |

You can make an Offensive robot play defense more effectively, than you can make a Defensive robot play offense. |

The battery needs to be velcro-ed, strapped, buckled, tied, bolted, glued, zipped, or stapled in place so that it can't fall out when (not if) the robot turns upside-down. |

I would suggest spending a few more hours digesting the manual before you finalize your designs. You seem to have missed a few key rules. |

Do you mean...? If so, it's illegal under . (insert your favorite reminder to read the manual here) |

We'll defenestrate our programmer, and I'll report back our solution if we get anything working. |

Hey people, I found out the answer to my question and that one guy eric is right all you have to do is read the manual. The rules are in chapter 7.3.5.1, sections - .:) |

Mind you... if your ball kicker has as much energy stored up as a trackball launcher, you ought to be able to kick balls up into the stands. |

You know when the school health nurse advises "always wear a condom"?
She doesn't actually mean "ALWAYS". ::safety::
I think Dean and Woodie have a pretty good idea of when they need safety glasses and when they don't.

At this point in build season, I'm thinking that whatever type we can get built and working is the best type, by far! |

Its a good idea to learn to tame CAD monkeys. They're very useful. |

Because when you build the people and the team, building the robot comes much easier. |

The "line" is the point at which we've raised the floor so high that the advanced teams are hitting the ceiling. The ceiling is pretty darned high (and the GDC keeps raising it), so I don't think we're in danger of that any time soon. |

For any coaches weary of choosing human players this year because you're worried they might lose their cool mid-game, a good indicator of someones ability to keep focused is their attitude while playing video games. |
