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

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. |

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

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

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

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'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. |

Including the Kinect in the kit a parts is actually an evil plan. The programers are going to spend all their time playing with the Kinect. In competition the robot is just to sit there because it will not have a program. :ahh: |

we are all in the same boat. We'll adapt and deal with the challange. No need nashing teeth over the little stuff... |

I will gladly be pied if that's something you guys want. I know I have people from the Clarkson FIRST dorm floor who will shell out PLENTY of cash for the chance to pie me in the face! |

I was dragged to the first team meeting in September my freshman year and a week later, found myself at Fall Classic. Needless to say, after experiencing the heat of a competition, I was in love. ... Robotics has become far more than just that. I get to do the coolest thing in the world. |

A good thing to do when thinking about designs like this, ask yourself "what do I gain?" |

[when asked where to learn about robot parts] ...some forum called Chief Delphi. I hear the people there are pretty knowledgeable about this robotics thing. |

If your goal is to win matches... Pick the most capable candidate. If your goal is to change lives... Sometimes you pick those that need the most change. |

Differentiating based on any superficial criteria (gender, race, or other demographic) only serves to reinforce the false idea that they matter. |

If this information is not 100% correct, you should follow the default advice I have for when anything goes wrong: Blame the Programmers |

And the only thing that can really measure that is when you look a kid in the eye, say "We've got a problem..." and you see them smiling, "Bring it on." |

I wonder if we sang songs to Bill Miller if that would get TIMS opened sooner, like the way it worked to wring game hints out of Dave Laverly. |

However, do not confuse faith in your ability to overcome challenging obstacles, with the difficulty of the obstacles themselves. |

It doesn't seem hard, but it is. You can do it with enough time, dedication, and skill, but that doesn't stop it from being hard. |
