I'd say it is somewhat addicting. But I think that is a good thing. It proves that knowledge can be addicting. How cool is that? Now, if we could just get everyone addicted to knowledge, just think of what we can accomplish.:D |

Don't just assume that because you can modify an existing design that you are an engineer. |

its kind of a bad idea to implement traction control when you have no traction in the first place. |

...the great teams in FRC will probably continue to be great teams. That is because they have great people who embrace the challenge rather than whine about it. |

...And thank goodness there are powerhouse teams out there... they set a great example and inspire the rest of us to greater heights. |

Just think outside the box but inside the 28" X 38" X 60" rectangular prism and you may come up with a solution. |

I think rovers on Mars are way cool but you won't get a crowd of enthusiastic participants cheering as they trudge 150 meters a day. |

Last I checked the Mars Rovers don't play any defense either and that's pretty cool stuff. |

They just kind of sit there chilling, like "Hey I'm a trailer, where's my robot?" |

Please try to apply GP to situations where it makes some sense, as otherwise you're just diluting the meaning. |

Who said you'll WANT to avoid other robots in auto mode this year?:yikes: (Look at, say, 2006, 2007, 2004, 2003...) |

It's hilarious to watch this conversation about a box which probably has a 95% chance of being robot batteries turn into all kinds of bowling ball conspiracies. |

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck could be a very clever animatronics display created by Disney Imagineers.... Sometimes it is just a duck. |

Because the new control system weights as much as a fully-loaded M1 Abrams Tank. |

I'm somewhat fond of saying, if your robot dosen't weigh 119.99 pounds, you forgot something. |

GP is a measurement that can only apply to yourself. To apply it to another is unfair to that person/group. |

The first was a fish, all silver and spotted.
“An opah?” I asked. “Yes,” my friend nodded.
I knew not what it meant as I sat there and stared,
But I appreciated the thoughts that the posters had shared. |

FIRST... (is) just as human as we are. (except now in game hint season when they are big meanies) |

If you can't make them fit on the robot, then those features don't really add much value. |

The great thing about liking someone in your robotics team is that they've already seen you at your worst, and you cant shock them with ANYTHING anymore :D |

Wisdom is knowing the difference between "the way to do things" and "the right way to do things." Just because an action may be physically possible does not mean that it is smart to do. |

FIRST is an organization where you leave lasting impressions on people you don't even know. |

Once again, the GDC is pure evil. (Dave, Aidan, and Bill get the "pure evil genius" rating which is slightly worse.) |

The most important part of successfully solving the problem is to understand what the problem is. Elegance in engineering comes from "optimizing" your solution, not solving problems that don't really exist. Fulfill your requirements, meet your goals... |

How is it that so many team representatives have the time to run up the post count to astronomical levels in a game hint thread, while so few seem to have the time to say thank you for a $6K gift that funds the ability to play the game? |

yes, we've gone over every possible idea multiple times. No, we're not going to stop. Welcome to FIRST. |
