We considered naming our 2014 robot "Please Don't Point it at Me". I think the name fits. |

I voted to keep Stop Build Day but only for students. Mentors get to keep working on the robot. |

Maybe FIRST could get a sponsorship from Ikea, and we all could get flat-packed field parts with pictoral assembly instructions. And then all the parts could have funny names. |

I would go even further and say always hate your robot. Keep breaking, iterating, and trying to figure out how to change the robot from week one of build season to champs. |

So we had forklifts in 2015 and now front end loaders in 2017. First has really embraced the industrial side of robotics. |

According to a 6 year old I once met at a demo, our FRC machine was not a robot because, "How can it be a robot if it doesn't have a face?" |

We don't tell new mentors about the Mentor VIP Adults Only Lounge, you'll get your key if we approve. We have leather couches, flat screens, and free corndogs in there. - Monochron [more]
