256:1 gear reductions provide surprisingly little torque once the gears have failed. |

Stop whining about something that can be fixed by working harder. |

There are times when all of us - myself included - need a virtual *poink* to the back of the head and someone to say "wake up and stop behaving like a three-year-old." |

If it reads MINUS voltage, the power is reversed (and this is bad). |

Instead of prototyping with plywood and machining metal for the final version, they make their prototypes out of sheet metal and machine the final robot out of wood. :) |

Whatever you do, make it idiot-proof. Not because your drivers are idiots, but because the fewer precision maneuvers they have to do, the more awesome driving (and scoring!) they have time to do. |

i just want to say how awesome the high volume tank is. The high volume tank is 7/4 as awesome as the previous tanks. |

You don't need to prototype everything, just the stuff you want to work. |

instead of complaining, suck it up, think a little harder, and make the most of what you do have. |

At this rate, Team Update #2 should just eliminate the Minibots and replace it with the drive team captains playing rock-paper-scissors to determine the bonus points. |

Good engineering involves working with constraints, not complaining about them. |

We're thinking of using static electricity to pick up the tubes. The programmers are trying to figure out how to make the robot shuffle it's feet on the carpet. |

Honestly, just when I thought FIRST had finally created an FRC game without any near universally-hated rules, they went ahead and made one in TM 1. |

I also like how the FTC folks are able to get involved with the FRC process this year, but it's always a bit of a let down when you're told you can't launch things into the air. |

Does that mean that the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is, "How many total tubes will be available to score for the FRC 2011 game, LogoMotion? |

Some companies cut costs (and cut corners to do so). Some work hard to build loyal customers. Which would you rather purchase from? |

Ha, our 2009 robot's nickname was Sparky, for the same reason...we now have EXTRA fire extinguishers because of it ;P |

1) Field reset will want to do mean things to you. They have to remove the tubes. |

For those who don't have snow in the forecast - i.e., not New England - just send me your shipping address and I'll FedEx some snow to you right away. We have extra. :p |
