If all goes well (cross fingers) we'll have a joystick for driving and one - count it, one - button: FIRE |

It's cool to see that Shaun White is an active team member (6th person from top left). That guy must be amazing, as he can win a gold medal in snowboarding while also being active on a FIRST Robotics team. |

By seeing other robot designs, teams can plan before hand on how to defend or defeat it.

No, nothing secret unless you include the following: will it work?, can it be driven and will it release the balls. |

IF teams did NOT READ THE FIRST MANUAL AND Q&A SITE, it is not FIRST's fault, it is the TEAM'S fault |

If a team wants to cheat then it does nothing but give them a bad cloud hanging over their own heads. |

A wrench isn't a nesscary part is it?
Last Night, we tested the robot and a large, (yes I said LARGE) wrench fell from somewhere on the robot....Along with bolts, nuts, and a very interestingly cut piece of Aluminum... |

Uhh... we were supposed to be building a robot? *looks at giant wooden Trojan Rabbit in the corner that was built instead for the past 6 weeks* Whoops... |

It goes to show how a FIRST team is not one person but a complex codependence of people who are all striving to meet the same goal. |

Yes, you are correct. Even when all other databuses are totally out of bandwith, the PainInTheCalf Bus gets top priority. Good thinking ;-) |

studies have shown that postive feedback works better. Driver should get a shock until he obtains target lock, then it stops.

If you have the time to be caught up on Delphi and the Q&A forum, then you have time to go write a WFA entry. No more excuses. Go! Write! Now! :) |

In real life, you paint the number on your OWN forehead. How you dress, how you look, what expression you have on your face, your body language, etc. You may not see the number but it is there. |
