I do want to remind people: Safety glasses, adult supervision and don't let freshmen touch the robot. ::safety:: |

A coin flip is a wonderful thing. Not because it makes the decision for you, but because when the coin is in the air, you realize what you really want. |

While there are reasons to keep a float charge on your batteries, it may be like giving your son a flu shot when he has the measles. |

Monkeys with typewriters will eventually create shakespeare, and spam bots will eventually create a thread title that fits the rumor mill. |

So every 3 years robots have to lift robots? There's yet another pattern to consider. :p |

But here's the beautiful thing about FIRST: you are supposed to make mistakes. |

It would also level the playing field by bringing the bottom up, rather than the top down. |

I just weighed myself and I have gained two pounds since last Saturday. Thats a sign of a good robotics team. |

last year I wanted to electrically charge our frame, then cover the whole bot in tape and say it was for insulating purposes. Then I settled down and read the rule book. |

Learn the subjects that interest you, but at the same time know how it relate to real life situations, and how it is applied. |

I know the world needs more engineers, but FIRST isn't all about engineers and robots... that's why it's so great. |

I applaud teams that make signs of all kinds - giant numbers, large banners, humongous heads. It's all good. |

Just because a robot looks good and just because it is very well made does not mean that students were not involved in creating it. |

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. |

We're not all autonomous robots who are preprogrammed to always follow rules blindly regardless of what they are. |

Everyone is reading way too much into this. The game piece is clearly a bunch of Opahs this year. Problem solved, case closed. Start designing your fish handling robots now. |

[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 ) |

When you come down to it, FIRST is about people inspiring other people; STEM and the robots are just the subject matter. |

The code is hopefully pretty self-documenting, but I haven't had time to comment it (kinda trying to build a robot at the moment). |

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

Hearing about the beginnings of 842 was truly inspirational and has really stuck with me through the years. After following you guys for so long it was crazy for me to play with you. Thank you for all that you have done for FIRST in Arizona. |

I would go even further and say always hate your robot. Keep breaking, iterating, and trying to figure out how to change the robot from week one of build season to champs. |
