Robot shoots forward across field and jams itself into opposing alliance bridge. It was, however, the fastest our robot ever went. |

Focus on solving the problem, not on being deliberately creative. If you effectively solve the problem, creativity is naturally leveraged as part of finding a great solution. |

Needless to say, lots of smoke came out, and I debated using its terrible smell as a deterrent. |

Also, I'm tired of the "FIRST is a simulation of the real world"-- it isn't. If the real world was like FIRST, there wouldn't be any need for this organization. |

I'll not deprive you of the practice in reading the manual; you'll need it if you want to be an effective part of an FRC team. |

If your logo is your team number in a font 4" tall in 1/2" stroke, colored/outlined in white, then yes.
Otherwise, no. |

Guys,
Can we agree that "we used it in the past" is not a response.

If you think that teams would never bypass the rules or do something unsafe (intentional or unintentional), I suggest you spend a weekend as an inspector. Every bad scenario that you can think of, we have seen. |

It'd be nice if, one day, people just concentrated on how to inspire your own team and your own community. Let others decide on how to inspire theirs. |
