I'll do my best, but I'm this --><-- close to telling our drivers they're NASCAR styling it this season..."Sorry boys and girls, left turns only!" |

Even when the system is "really good" it can always be tweaked a little to make it even better. |

I personally think that everybody on the team is important. No matter what, every single student, mentor, teacher put their effort all year long to get the team going. So in my opinion, Credit goes to everyone. |

Maybe we should put one of those advisory signs: "Don't try this at home ... or at Robotics competitions" |

The version that finished nationals was about 50% aluminum and 50% the original PVC and we never had any member break. (structural member, not team member). |

We tried to get clear aluminum, but it was on back order. They said it would be in by March 3, 2150. |

Yes, it can. You'll have to ask the lawyers around here whether it's legal or not. |

Like many researchers before me, I look and read about what my peers are doing and developing, and then incorperate the best of them into my ideas or change my focus because of them. |

If by hazardous you mean thinking about robots 24/7, waking up at 2am in the morning to jot some ideas down, completely losing your social life, and staring at a computer until your eyes hurt, then yeah! :D |

If you water it and nurture it and fertilize it and put it out in the sunlight, it might just grow up to be a big lathe... :) |

My favorite question of all time asked by "outsiders": How much does/did that thing cost? How can you put a price on the hard-work and dedication it took to build these machines? |

you are going to gear that down right? Otherwise your robot will take about 10 minutes to reach its top speed of mach 2.6. |
