This is not pinewood derby. This is not a science fair. This is a sport, and in sports there are winners and losers. |

Without mentors, you wouldn't even be participating in FIRST. Your team wouldn't exist, and FIRST as a program wouldn't exist. If it did, it'd just be another form of a science fair. |

At IRI you have 72 of the best teams in the country. It could literally be held in a cornfield in the middle of Indiana and nobody would care, because the competition is simply that good. |

It's always better to figure out why a design actually works and the best ways to implement it than to just assume upgrading to a "better" material will make everything work. |

What good will it do to have 10,000 teams who barely have a clue and are just scraping by versus 2,000 teams that are actually sustainable? |

If you can't make them fit on the robot, then those features don't really add much value. |

The point of FIRST is not to create pretty robots. It's to teach kids about science, technology, and engineering. |

But when it comes down to it, the best teams usually end up winning regardless. |

If said device costs 10x more to manufacture than a simpler solution integrating COTS parts, and only performs 10% better, that's poor engineering. |

If I was making this I would want to not have to use anything smaller than a 3/16" end mill, but 1/8" would be acceptable. Anything smaller and I'd tell the designer to go play in traffic. |

Let this be a lesson to everyone to never make changes to manufacturing drawings without issuing a new rev of the drawing itself... |

hmmm... big open space between arena and pits... thousands of poof balls...thousands of high school kids hopped up on sugar and robotics.... sounds a little dangerous. |

Powerhouse teams aren't powerhouse because they build great robots, they are powerhouses because they build great teams. |

None. They'll just say it's a hardware problem. |

I don't think it's that big of a deal if FIRST makes a few mistakes or cuts back every now and then. Personally, I'm just glad I have the opportunity to be in this program. |

I just want to say that the rack 'n roll was my first year with FIRST! It was the best thing I ever did. I cant wait to learn more when we get to start up again! |

We should create string networks at Nats. Just have miles of string running between the Georgia Dome and the GWCC. :D |

At every event I've seen this year, there has been at least one robot that left a part on the field. Even some of the robots have decided they don't want to play and this year and made a break for it in autonomous! :yikes: |

there is no such thing as too many parts or useless parts, only parts you dont need yet. |
