We don't have to reinvent the wheel every year. (We have AndyMark to do that for us.) |

Blowing out the transmission on your mini-van while hauling a trailer 700 miles from home is not fun. Trust me on this. |

Why not go the safer route? Use the robots to play Magic the Gathering. |

When FIRST teams are as numerous and as well supported as basketball teams, we will know that our culture is preparing young people to compete in the 21 st century and we are spending our 2 million minutes wisely. |

It's a good things we're engineers who regularly squeeze out 'miracles' with a severely limited budget, eh? I think that's an important aspect that we as mentors need to show the students from time to time, and this year is a perfect opportunity. |

A very important thing that I learned is how to think, not what to think. |

Some of your terminology is also a little confusing. Nothing that some massaging can't fix. |

I hope that all of our new members are as helpful as the one above. We will be in for an amazing season if that is the case. |

If I had a mul-let

really ba-ad. |

Both might accomplish the same "function" or "results" (perhaps a lift of some kind), but there are clear differences in simplicity, in cost, in maintainability, extensibility, and several other "ilities" -- which are a staple of engineering evaluation criteria. |

Since the dawn of man, martial artists have sought to master fighting styles that seamlessly blend the attributes of strength, power, quickness, grace, and speed. You've heard them all. The Tiger. The Crane. The Mantis. Now witness.......The Nerd. |

My nagging fear is that I'm a programming dinosaur, stuck in a procedural tar pit and doomed to extinction as the dataflow mammals take over. |

Different approaches to the same problem. Isn't it better to focus on understanding both than to be dogmatic about it? |

They were designed that way so they would be compatible with the water-based ga.... oops, sorry, we aren't supposed to say anything about that. Never mind. |

Ancient doesn't necessarily mean bad, but ancient things do fall out of use, otherwise I'd be tapping this out in morse code or writing it in Latin. |

Engineering literature?
Is that like jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, or legal brief? You know, an oxymoron? |

We can't quite define FIRST according to past standards and traditions, because it is shaping the future and does not conform to today's model of sports. |

Basically, just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should and being savvy enough doesn't entitle you to being above the law. |

My advice is anytime your intuition tells you something, double check it with physics. |

At IRI you have 72 of the best teams in the country. It could literally be held in a cornfield in the middle of Indiana and nobody would care, because the competition is simply that good. |

...your mentors are your friends. If you're not sure of something, they probably know the answer to it, and if they don't, they will point you to someone who does. |

Kit wheel? Someone probably has them. N-tooth IFI sprocket? You might get lucky. Part Made By A Local Company When You're Competing 800 Miles Away? Bring three. |

A lot of the time in FIRST it's not what you have when you enter the program, but what you gain from being in it. |

Team 233 cannot wait for the Florida Regional, but they have to because they have to build a robot or something first. . . - IbleedPink233 [more]
