With computers, every once in a while you see something that makes you think "I could have done this, why didn't I think of it? It would have made my life so much easier." Now is one of those times. |

Ok, so you are going to use a robot to hold all of those rivets together? |

The mediocre do the minimum, then exclaim how easy it is.
The exceptional never stop to gloat... they're too busy figuring out new ways to make it even better... |

Short answer, the GDC has ruled it legal explicitly through Q&A, implicitly through Q&A, and implicitly through the Manual. |

We could not make weight so we got rid of the cRIO. |

Now I'm having visions of thousands of balloons and a grumpy old man. Oh, and a talking dog. No talking dogs on the field. Grumpy old men are ok - sometimes. |

Just because its a robotics competition does not mean everybody is a big dork. |

Note to self for next year, apply physics rather than "well, this SEEMS like it would work." |

That is definitely a question for the GDC. My guess would be no (but I am frequently wrong). |

P.S. we are a rookie team.P.P.S. we really don't know what we are doing |

A robot that does 60% of the tasks 100% of the time is better than a robot that does 100% of the tasks 60% of the time. |

This is far more then any little school extracurricular, this is a FIRST Robotics Team. |

321 didn't get picked up today because the front desk of the high school wouldn't let him in! Thank goodness the FedEx driver was nice enough to come back and get it for us! |

The question was asked. The GDC gave their ruling. If you don't like it then maybe you can run your own tournament and let people ignore your rulings. |

We can either sit around and complain about what could have been, or we can focus on the upside of what we have and move on. |

What about "I h8 Autonomous Mode" (for the programmers who actually have to make the robots work)? |

I could say that the decline in the population of pirates is responsible for global warming, the statistics correlate, but its obvious there's no causation there. |

So, you're saying there's a correlation between hard work and success? Who woulda thunk it?! |

Personally, I'm really not jealous of any good team in FIRST. I'm happy for them, and take a page out of their books to see how we can better impact our students in the future. |

Because FIRST wants everyone to have a sense of accomplishment even if you didn't accomplish anything during the match. |

I suspect the GDC is enjoying watching teams wrap their heads around this ranking algorithm.... and is probably a bit surprised that it has taken teams so long to clue in to the options this ranking system presents to them. |

While in the Navy, we had an apparent leak in one of our systems and it took me 7 months to track it down. Just because you haven't found it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. |
