I wanted to make an epoxy/carbon fiber/fiberglass arm for our 'bot, but I was outvoted by conservative teenagers. Oh well...

If we all keep our "secrets" about our robots, the rest of us don't learn as much. |

Use checklists. If it's good enough for NASA, it's good enough for FIRST. |

As to "no fasteners," I have a gallon of epoxy, and I'm not afraid to spread it. |

I know what "finished" means, and I know what "robot" means, but what is this "finished robot" of which you speak? |

There are a maximum of 80 balls in play . If all the balls are in the goals or out of play and the human players won't throw them back in, I guess the robots might try line dancing or doing the cha-cha. |

The most important things for a team to take to any competition are a sense of humor, a big bottle of Advil, and a camera!

In this case, "non-thermal protected" would mean "future paper weights." |

You can't guarantee outcomes -- only effort. If your team did its best, be satisfied. |

I, for one, have no particular problem with singing, dancing and sex appeal. Mark Leon combines all that with a career at NASA! |

On the contrary, you've had several helpful responses. You might be confusing "helpful" with "do my homework for me." |

My son just said, "That's the kind of thing that you talk about in strategy sessions then say, 'nah, that would never really work.'" Un-be-freaking-lievable. |

A good robot can score a lot of points. A great robot can do it when the other alliance does everything they can to stop it. |

Just a modest request for folks NOT to put 3000-pixel-wide pictures inline in the forum. A link to the big picture works just as well while keeping the text readable. Thanks. |

This site is truly the best resource out there for FIRST teams, the information that flows on here is just amazing and I don't know what FIRST would be like without it. |
