Wait, crap... totally forgot that I needed to build an intake. :eek: |

The code is hopefully pretty self-documenting, but I haven't had time to comment it (kinda trying to build a robot at the moment). |

The sponsor had a $2000 sheet of aircraft aluminum in their scrap bin? Do they also blow stacks of dollar bills off their loading dock with a giant fan? |

FRC for a four year student is a marathon disguises as four sprints. I'd much rather win the marathon than a sprint. |

Don't worry about someone stealing your ideas...if they're good ideas, then imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If they're lousy ideas, we'll let you know, so you can work on finding a better idea. win-win! |

Push the envelope a little, but not too much. There's a difference between being on the cutting edge and being on the bleeding edge. |

There is a big difference between "we have not been able to figure out how to do it." and "it's impossible" or "don't even bother." Let's be constructive not discouraging. |

It's far easier to find ambiguity in the rules than to write them. |

Pro safety tip: put a string through coil springs that is tied off securely on the robot frame. This will help prevent the spring from jumping out and killing an inspector if it snaps. |

Good programmers always find a better way to do something, especially when it's not obvious where those improvements can be found. |

This is probably one of the most important robots in FRC history and it never even was in an official event. |

Based on EXTENSIVE analysis of this image, I have concluded that we will have to use wires on our robots. I am certain of it. |

Once you get to college, remember that FRC is not your life anymore (or at least it doesn't have to be). Don't be afraid to try new things, and branch away from the things you swear by in high school |

Using my Little Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Ring, I have determined that the game hint reads:
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine" |

The name of the game will be "Conjunction Junction".
The robots will be tasked with hooking up words and phrases and clauses.
You're welcome. |

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we have to displace objects and/or robots in order to score points. |

I fear sometimes as time increases between the present and when someone started, some sight of just how hard it can be to field a functioning robot for a young team is lost. |

I GET that FIRST is about more than winning on the field. BUT... ...it is my experience that the great programs of the FIRST world almost always build on a foundation of competitive robots. Success on the field begets success in other realms. |
