Go to Post I should have gone to IRI years ago. Richard Wallace Andy Baker
Go to Post If you need persuasion woven tight with logic, leave it to a software architect. Richard Wallace Billfred
Go to Post Engineers are not eligible to join NEMO, but that's OK! For us, there is an ad-hoc disorganization, notionally dubbed EMO. Meetings have no agenda and are called at random, usually in the evenings following long days at FIRST events. Richard Wallace Billfred
Go to Post Long after we've forgotten that absurd pink bunny, Dave's other car is still on Mars. Richard Wallace Libby K

Go to Post Or you could go to the Waterloo or Greater Toronto regional, walk up to anyone in their pit, and ask. You may end up feeling like you asked for a sip of water and ended up soaked by a fire hose, but you won't walk away disappointed. Richard Wallace Billfred
Go to Post FIRST will continue searching for rules and procedures to keep us from hurting ourselves. However, none of this will substitute for judicious application of common sense. Richard Wallace Billfred
Go to Post Not all FIRST people are nuts. Some are threaded holes, rivets, velcro, or zip-ties. Anything but duct-tape. Richard Wallace Qbranch
Go to Post I'm not certain that I agree with me on this reasoning, either. Richard Wallace RbtGal1351
Go to Post Of course, someone who can score on all rack levels while hovering autononmously 12 inches off the floor in his own home zone could probably have posted on CD while winning a regional.;) Richard Wallace Schnabel
Go to Post Engineers crave and demand facts, and won't reach a conclusion without them. Richard Wallace Goldeye
Go to Post Due to risk of unforseeable consequences, teams may not initiate a wormhole for the purpose of scoring ringers from past or future matches. Richard Wallace Qbranch
Go to Post It would appear that your PLTW teacher succeeded in tricking you into learning something after all. Teachers are sneaky that way! Richard Wallace Billfred
Go to Post .......I would still heed Al's suggestions above. He has many a grey hair and he earned them all the old-fashioned way. :) Richard Wallace Billfred
Go to Post I've heard of mentors who keep talking until they are blue in the face, but this is my first time actually seeing one. Richard Wallace Pavan Dave
Go to Post We can't all be Dean. But with the right attitude and preparation, we can make careers out of our passions. Richard Wallace Andy Baker
Go to Post Now stop reading CD, do your homework, eat your peas, brush your teeth, and go to bed. Any time you spend speculating as to what Dave's ravings might mean is completely wasted. Richard Wallace Libby K
Go to Post If you use a flux capacitor make certain it is a COTS component, or that you fabricate it from COTS materials. Richard Wallace Kevin Sevcik
Go to Post Thinking should never be against the rules of FIRST Richard Wallace dlavery
Go to Post We're 3 pounds over. Drill until the hole saw is too hot to touch, then go find something else to cut off while you wait for it to cool down. Richard Wallace Katy
Go to Post I'll guess those tie-dyed, numbered balls are used for alliance-partner lotto. :D Richard Wallace Andy Baker
Go to Post My lasting impression of 217 (for years now) has been based on how their robot looks, dynamically. It is poultry in motion. :) Richard Wallace Taylor
Go to Post Engineering literature? Is that like jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, or legal brief? You know, an oxymoron? Richard Wallace rtfgnow
Go to Post Geekier than me? That's a goal you can shoot for. You might make it, too -- in twenty years or so. :cool: Richard Wallace Qbranch
Go to Post ...after all these years Dean is still on message, and the message still resonates. Richard Wallace Akash Rastogi
Go to Post Let it be noted in the annals of FIRST history that on this day the game design committee did NOT choose to change, clarify, explain, or interpret ANY PART of the 2010 Manual. Richard Wallace Karibou
Go to Post Lesson learned: don't hide cables where drills can find them! Richard Wallace Kevin Sevcik
Go to Post CD would not be what it is without Brandon Richard Wallace Hallry
Go to Post Several really good programming and control specialists haunt CD, but a thread titled "motor failure" might not attract their notice soon. Richard Wallace CalTran
Go to Post The sponsor had a $2000 sheet of aircraft aluminum in their scrap bin? Do they also blow stacks of dollar bills off their loading dock with a giant fan? Richard Wallace Whippet
Go to Post Adam, when most of us look at your robots, we aren't thinking, "How Creative!" What we are thinking is more like, "Holy Crap!" Richard Wallace Ekcrbe
Go to Post Start building your robot as soon as possible, but not sooner. Richard Wallace Whippet
Go to Post Every robot needs a locky-thingy. A robot without one might fire when it isn't supposed to, and hit the wrong target; e.g., a referee, FTA, or robot inspector. Richard Wallace Whippet
Go to Post It always surprises me how many teams wait until their robot is being inspected to learn how files should be used. Richard Wallace frcguy

Go to Post Thank goodness there are people in this world who refuse to let physics and calculus ruin a good story. Richard Wallace Billfred
Go to Post Come on how can you not be excited about IRI! richardp Hallry
Go to Post I'm sure there aren't a bunch of rule makers sitting in a board room discussing "What rule can we change now to mess with the teams' heads?" Lets all just sit back and enjoy the regionals! Rick Billfred
Go to Post Real coaches dont use "strategy assistants" during matches. Rick Jessica Boucher
Go to Post I'm a drive team coach, they don't eat lunch during competition. Rick Jessica Boucher
