We are all insane aren't we? I just want to build a robot now. :P |

I highly doubt the game has anything to do with water... |

You've got to love the great connection between FIRST teams, and their members. |

Everyone is reading way too much into this. The game piece is clearly a bunch of Opahs this year. Problem solved, case closed. Start designing your fish handling robots now. |

No really though, a robot game with rules similar to Risk. This would combine FIRST, Battlebots, and US Government... |

I personally hope they change the terrain of the playing field ... if only to "level" the playing field. |

"This is the year that everyone on CD is going to learn to spell."
"This is the year that everyone on CD will make a serious effort to write grammatically correct sentences."
"This is the year that everyone on CD will think BEFORE they post."

What good will it do to have 10,000 teams who barely have a clue and are just scraping by versus 2,000 teams that are actually sustainable? |

Robotics competitions take place in the same "perfect" environment that basic physics equations take place in. :rolleyes: |

Remember, everything you do while on the team reflects on your team. Good reputations are difficult to build and easily destroyed. |

FIRST is about the relationships you build. ONE individual at a time. |

The function of that part is to keep one student occupied playing with it during the entire build season. It doesn't have to be the same student all the time, they can take turns. |

Rule 1. Never take Dave's hint's seriously.
Rule 2. Watergame. |

It's always better to figure out why a design actually works and the best ways to implement it than to just assume upgrading to a "better" material will make everything work. |

If they need a place where they can get a chance to learn interpersonal skills (like a team), it might just help them to become well-adjusted adults, as opposed to pathologically antisocial engineers (who got good grades). |

I, for one, am perfect and therefore make no mistakes.

The Tekin's used to constantly suffer from spontaneous combustion, it was extremely frustrating how often they would go. |

We try to limit ourselves only by physics. As the first person on the planet to communicate over a quantum encrypted AOL instant messenger session, I try to ignore those limits as well. |

My crotchety old person opinion is that it should be illegal to try to win the award. Do things because you like doing them or because it helps others. Don't do things to win awards. |

I thought of this at least a couple of years ago, but I didn't post because I didn't want to give Dave any fiendish ideas. He has enough without our help. |

I'd like to welcome all the rookie teams to FIRST. Hang on tight! It is a wild, crazy and fun ride that will impact your lives for decades to come. |

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:22 PM.
People aren't getting angry at teams who play defense. They are getting angry at the teams who play BattleBots in the middle of a FIRST match. - dlavery [more]
