My brain is borderline mush, I don't have much of a voice, and I don't think I could be much happier. |

I've never encountered a motor as forgiving as a CIM - Stall them for 20 seconds, run them hot on a short turnaround, or call them mean names in between matches and they'll just keep doing their thing. |

We appreciate the time/effort of everyone who contributes to Chief Delphi... hopefully, someday soon we'll be experienced/seasoned enough to contribute advice ourselves... |

I wonder if the GDC had his extraordinary achievements in mind for the 2012 game. |

What's the point of competing if you're not going to be competitive? |

There's nothing wrong with taking suggestions but be sure not to let other people tell you how your team should be run. |

of course, like anything, there is big difference between "can" and "should" |

I want to use some of that mass-less rod in our robot - saves weight. |

So we are able to run a very competitive and active robotics program. Sustainability, alas, is a month-to-month issue for us and is dictated by the space situation. This is okay today. Tomorrow could be different. We live like this. |

You are done with designing something, not when there's nothing more to add, but when there's nothing left to remove. |

Chief Delphi down for a few hours ON A WEEKEND??? This is MADNESS! |

FIRST, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot drill, Courage to drill the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. |

Or, to put it another way: It's a sport where you build your own athlete. |

FIRST is the most glorious test of the mind. Anyone can run a marathon or get a slam-dunk. It takes guts to admit you are a nerd that enjoys six weeks off non-stop stress, and actually thrives on it. |

FIRST games are complex and rely on design and intellectual capability much more than the average sport. |

To me game hints are like robot teasers. Much ado about nothing and I ignore both. |

Yes, it is fun. Its fun to watch the students expand their thinking and look outside the "normal" and watch their thoughts explode! Its also fun to watch the mentor's minds fry trying to out think the students.;) |

All in all, you get what you celebrate. The more we celebrate the under-served parts of our team the more students step up and make that part great. |

FIRST isn't about building robots. I know. But I also know that Inspiration comes in a lot of flavors and I, for one, believe it is a lot easier to inspire my kids when we set "playing after lunch on Saturday" as a worthy team goal. |

It is easier than you'd think to get yourself crossed off a draft list. I advise my teams, "Be the team you'd want to partner with." |

Half your robot could be broken, some drive chains snapped, a drive motor burned out, etc... and your WCD will still be trucking. |

Too many people have worked too long and too hard to have the selfish actions of one person derail our teams reputation because they want to vent online. |

Having 75% of the drive train without direct connection to the transmission would make me a bit queasy, but then again, I'm not Winnovative. |
