	Who said you'll WANT to avoid other robots in auto mode this year?:yikes: (Look at, say, 2006, 2007, 2004, 2003...)	EricH	Blue_Mist
	If you aren't sure, Q&A. Now.	EricH	Michelle Celio
	What is this "tired" of which you speak? Did it come in the KOP?	EricH	Taylor
	"Why do it the easy way when you can do it the hard way?:rolleyes:"	EricH	Monty Python
	The real question is not whether any teams have had metal in a speed controller, it's whether any teams haven't.	EricH	AlexD744
	Do you know how, say, Native American cultures were kept? They had storytellers, sages, and the like. They passed on their legends and culture to the next generation. So will we.	EricH	Libby K
	As far as the GDC being that mean, at least three of them have the pure evil genius rating, and the rest are simply pure evil.	EricH	GaryVoshol
	What do you do after making a design public? Improve it! What do you do when you give your opponents a weapon? Come up with a better one or a way to beat it! What is Wildstang going to do, you ask? Make their drivetrains better!	EricH	Billfred
	That makes it a winning move to, well, win.	EricH	rtfgnow
	"When I joined the team, I was told that we'd be in the shop for six weeks. I STILL haven't seen a single boutique, and now they have me dumpster diving for robot parts! I quit!"	EricH	Karibou
	Do you mean...? If so, it's illegal under . (insert your favorite reminder to read the manual here)	EricH	jamie_1930
	Short answer, the GDC has ruled it legal explicitly through Q&A, implicitly through Q&A, and implicitly through the Manual.	EricH	IndySam
	Uh. Oh. Wildstang is simple and has a swerve. Where have I seen that before?	EricH	Karibou
	last year's tradition is this year's rule change!	EricH	Taylor
	...trapping Chuck Norris is worth infinity, Dave, Dean, and Woodie are 500 apiece, and trapping Andy Baker is worth double infinity	EricH	RoboDesigners
	Trapping JVN (or any other IFI employee) is negative infinity [I]and[/I] a caption contest. Trapping 1114 is a measly 50 points, unless you trap Karthik, which multiplies your entire score by -1.	EricH	RoboDesigners
	By the looks, 1114 has already figured out both #1 and #2. They're still behind 71, who is just about done with their robot for the 2012 season, is getting driver practice for 2011, and is working on their robot designs for the 2013 water game. You're still way behind.	EricH	Katie_UPS
	...he's acting like a programmer whose code is compiling...:yikes:	EricH	RoboDesigners
	However, it is logistically impossible, so it's now just a joke.	EricH	RoboDesigners
	Only one full day of brainstorming on the hint? Boy are they behind... This thread's been busy for a week!	EricH	robox89
	[E]specially when Murphy is around (or at a robotics competition), reality tends to win over physics.	EricH	Taylor
	I was thinking (dangerous I know)	EricH	rtfgnow
	1) Field reset will want to do mean things to you. They have to remove the tubes.	EricH	Karibou
	Does that mean that the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is, "How many total tubes will be available to score for the FRC 2011 game, LogoMotion?	EricH	apalrd
	No such thing as asking too much. There is such a thing as asking too fast, but not too much.	EricH	Taylor
	If poker is a sport, robotics is definitely a sport.	EricH	Zuelu562
	And I'm sure I speak for most if not all of CD when I say: "How can we help you do that?"	EricH	rsisk
	The top 3 debates you don't want to bring up in a group of nerds: Mac vs PC vs Linux, Best Programming Language, and Best CAD Program.	EricH	Duke461
	The top 3 debates you don't want to bring up in a group of nerds: Mac vs PC vs Linux, Best Programming Language, and Best CAD Program.	EricH	joshsmithers
	[when asked where to learn about robot parts] ...some forum called Chief Delphi. I hear the people there are pretty knowledgeable about this robotics thing.	EricH	daniel_dsouza
	The best way to brainstorm is to just do it.	EricH	GCentola
	You are done with designing something, not when there's nothing more to add, but when there's nothing left to remove.	EricH	RoboDesigners
	Or, to put it another way: It's a sport where you build your own athlete.	EricH	wendymom
	Yeah, that's a hardware problem. Definitely something to blame the electricals for. Programmers just work there.	EricH	RoboDesigners
	You know you've been in FIRST way too long when you can remember all those hints... even down to exact wording... and only have to look up the most recent.	EricH	Kpchem
	You never know when the GDC will slide in a rule about any robot with a laser must do a laser light show on the floor of the field or face a 50-point penalty :p.	EricH	Gregor
	Magic doesn't count as a support, sorry. Neither does simply constraining in CAD...	EricH	Siri
	Action x (Passion + Vision) = Goal	EricH	IKE
	32% of the teams in any division will be or could be in eliminations. And any one of those could be YOU. If you aren't ready, you will be eliminated. If you are ready, you greatly increase your chances of winning.	EricH	joelg236
	Like a wizard, Car Nack is never late. He always arrives precisely when he meets you.	EricH	Amanda Morrison
	it's called the Mars Rock automode (you sit there and wait for Opportunity to come along).	EricH	DanielPlotas
	Programmer says autonomous will work 100% perfectly...Great way to clear the room of all mechanicals and all but the boldest electricals	EricH	Kevin Selavko
	wonders if omni wheel rollers come in MOE green or have to be dyed	EricH	Whippet
	However, I think the laws of physics indicate that doing so is going to be very difficult at best.	EricH	CalTran
	Calling the refs "zebras" is just fine. Just don't call 'em late for dinner (or visually impaired).	EricH	Whippet
	Anything released in a game hint is subject to enough misinterpretation and "nah, they'll never do that" to deflect any possibility of something being actionable.	EricH	ctt956
	I think all we need now is Jenny Craig for Robots.	ErichKeane
	When you score a Supercell on your own alliance it has a tendency to sway a match...	EricLeifermann	Qbranch
	Being a mentor doesn't have an age requirement. As long as you are positively influencing someone you could be called a mentor and a role model.	EricLeifermann	jmanela
	As far as I am concerned, the quality of an electronic device is directly proportional to the number of blinky lights on it.	EricVanWyk	Billfred
