Belts are a fine way of transferring power in a robot. Like chains, gears, drive shafts, viscous couplings or any other means of transmission they require some care and attention on you're part. But no one said this robot stuff was going to be a cake walk. |

To me, the changing rules are a big part of the fun. If the rules stayed the same year to year, robots would start to look the same. That would be boring. |

We all know that with mechanical systems, once all the noise has leaked out, the system quits (therefore quiet running mechanical systems last much longer :^) |

Surely, we've seen enough new and interesting implementations of technology in FIRST that we won't keep limiting our imagination to the tried and true. |

A Mentor is.. A person you can talk to anything about and trust them to not throw it back in your face in any way shape or form and who will help you as much as they can to deal with the problems and situations in life... |

You want to be treated like a professional, so you need to continue to act like one even if the odds are against you. |

To me, my mentors are the Father figures. They guide me through each and everything (even if its not robot related), and try to make it as fun as possible. |

It really is disconcerting to hear those chains rattling above your head. I think their effect was psychological more than anything else. |

Several West Coast teams have attended IRI. I don't know of a single team from east of the Rockies that has attended ANY West Coast off-season. So who is afraid of who? |

So... the question is this:
Does Grady keep his stuffed animals on his Barbie House for playtime, or in his bed to help him go sleepy-pie at night-night time? |

We can read about torque and speed in books, we can build a robot and drive it, but determination and character are built by time and encouragement, not just by studying. |

I come to Chief Delphi to get away from the mundane, everyday news. It's part of what makes the forum appealing to me. If I want to read world news, I'll go to digg. |

I don't think [Amanda] will have any trouble with Needel or the Kelsos but... I can understand Grady and we do have visible evidence of the menace that is Jessica Boucher. (just ask Billfred) |

Keep in mind that the lady Amanda has just taken a new job, moved herself to the NorthEast, and has to put up with people like Grady, Needel, the Kelsos, and Boucher. Let's give her some patience and sympathy. |

There can never be enough recognition of a job well done. We can never say enough Thank You's. We can never measure the impact that an inspirational teacher or mentor can make on a student because it's priceless. |

Now really, who would want to try and go against Andy Baker? That's like trying to single-handedly outscore 25, 254, and your choice of triplet with a shopping cart. |

Do it the good ol' American way and throw money at the problem. In other words, get out of there and call a professional to take care of it.

Let me tell you, the scariest day ever was the day that I realized since I am a mentor, people actually take my advice and I should be careful of what kind of advice I give. :ahh: |

Removing too much of the challenge removes too much of the accomplishment when you solve the problem. Removing too much of the challenge removes too much of the innovation in the solutions... removing too much of the challenge removes too much of the fun.

Where before there was boredom and lack of understanding, suddenly I saw why competitions would be fun. Not to sound corny or anything, but it brought a side out of me that I used to never show people in public. I danced, cheered, screamed, and had a blast. |

To help keep the kids on top of their game, I remind them that the school board considers a grade of 97 an A , so we can lose 3% of the kids and still be considered excellent. - DonRotolo [more]
