Aaaah - interpersonal dynamics - the root of most problems on most teams. |

Unfortunately, you cannot always tell when some things are jokes on forums, because we only can rely on text and a limited number of smilies. |

I always thought a trained bio mechanical monkey wrapped in aluminum foil would be the best robot, but every year my team says "No Pete, go sit down." |

Ok maybe you cant stop them, but you can utilize that pretty flashing LED pretty darn well!

Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration, which is why engineers sometimes smell really bad. |

Tank tracks are one of those things that keep showing up on FIRST robots, in ways that I dont understand. |

Am I the only one who thinks robots are the main attraction of a regional, and there isn't a need for more distraction? |

I don't think finding a way to defend the center goals is un-Gracious Professionalismistic (wow). |

Generally, when you do something stupid and unsafe, it isn't the best idea to go and tell thousands of people on CD about it. :rolleyes: |

This is the first (and, if this stuff keeps up, last) time FIRST has allowed high-speed projectiles in years. Please use some common sense, people. |

I swear, sometimes it seems like FIRST has got a room full of monkeys writing code. Maybe the monkeys should spend less time flinging fecal matter at each other and more time testing the code before posting it :-). |

If 100 people from ChiefDelphi all wrote one full article on something that they are an 'expert' in, FIRSTwiki would be even better. |

[the last period is] a free for all, both goals are turned on, and any robot can go anywhere on the field and score in any goal (although I would recommend scoring in the correct goal, not your opponents :D ) |

Don't worry so much about the wording of the rules but the intent of the rules. |
Greg Needel |

First off, let me suggest that you read the rules! There is an amazing amount of really good information in them. |

the hardest task this year is the same as every other year: getting the engineers out of the crate so you can close it up and the FedEx guy can haul it away! |

Once this competition is over, we should donate all of these Poof balls to daycares, elementary schools, neighbors; all the little kids. It would make us look good like, "Here's our Toys for Toddlers gift from us upstanding citizens. And we build robots." |

wait a minute...Dave posted a hint here yesterday. but no one has tried to analyze it word by word. has something changed since the kickoff??? |

My brain is about as full as the ChiefDelphi servers have been lately with all the info from the past few days jammed in there. |

5:20 - Lots of discussion about how FIRST pretty much wipes out the world of at least one object every year. |

My wife got mad at me when I told her I wanted to name our daughter Lotus. "What you mean the software?" she squawked. "No I mean the flower." I said. geeks, I swear.... |

While at kickoff I asked Woodie if there were any concerns about missed shots at the center goal hitting the operators or the controls. He handed me a ball and told me to throw it at him as hard as I could... How many times does an opportunity like that come up? |

All I know is that last year in Philadelphi, our camera locked dead onto MOE (Team 365) and their flourescent green shirts during the matches. They might want to consider what would happen if they get pelted with balls during the autonomous period! :ahh: |

What's this about a robot that they speak of? Are we supposed to build one???? |

Our team is using a video camera with frame-by-frame analysis to figure out all the characteristics of the foam ball. If the Boeing engineer says it's possible, I'm going to believe him. |

I think this can be cleared up easily...one of the New Hampshire teams needs to go dumpster diving at FIRST HQ and look for an invoice. |

Legend has it that Brandon installs the server in a bulletproof case shortly before Kickoff. That way, when the server explodes, the damage to surrounding things is minimal. |
