Go to Post I suppose this would be a bad time to reveal that Q and LookingForward are the same robot person hybrid thing... EricVanWyk Qbranch
Go to Post If we can transform our culture to the point where girls swoon over guys as they pull their dremel off their belt and carve some speed holes in a smooth fluid motion, I think FIRST is half way to its goal. When we get the guys to swoon over the girls for their hot moves on the 5-axis, we have won. EricVanWyk Elgin Clock
Go to Post We try to limit ourselves only by physics. As the first person on the planet to communicate over a quantum encrypted AOL instant messenger session, I try to ignore those limits as well. EricVanWyk Billfred
Go to Post If you squeeze cost out hard enough, any component can become a failure point. EricVanWyk Travis Hoffman
Go to Post I like to divide checklists like this into "stuff I have to do before applying power" and "stuff I'll find faster by watching it fail". EricVanWyk kramarczyk
Go to Post The obvious solution is to only allow the real world to have negative jade induction coefficients. EricVanWyk nathanww
Go to Post The "line" is the point at which we've raised the floor so high that the advanced teams are hitting the ceiling. The ceiling is pretty darned high (and the GDC keeps raising it), so I don't think we're in danger of that any time soon. EricVanWyk EricWilliams
Go to Post Is it really only 5 axes? It looks like that thing could bend time and space. EricVanWyk synth3tk
Go to Post I have yet to see an error where disabling the watchdog was the correct decision. EricVanWyk rsisk
Go to Post If you ever find yourself thinking that you are the most brilliant person in a situation, you are doing something wrong. EricVanWyk Carolyn_Grace
Go to Post ...last year's watchdog had a litter of watchpuppies. EricVanWyk Bethie42
Go to Post Taking the time to do it right the first time is faster than rushing through it a third time. EricVanWyk Tristan Lall
Go to Post Nerds do whatever they want to do, and they do it with style. EricVanWyk Nate Laverdure
Go to Post Earlier this week it took me a little bit too long to realize that the reason my pen wasn't writing correctly was that it was actually a screwdriver. I'm going to have to ask for a few nights of honest sleep before signing off on a report. EricVanWyk CalTran
Go to Post "Individual": I am the FMS. I don't want to talk to you. Robot: FMS, is this true? I still have stuff for you. Actual FMS: No, what gave you that idea? Are you feeling ok? Repeat. Field Monitor: FTA! We need a counselor! EricVanWyk torihoelscher
Go to Post Dash Board: Hey Robot, here is some new data. Dash Board: Robot, did you get that data yet? Hello? Robot: Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks!... Other Robots: Will you please shut up? EricVanWyk torihoelscher
Go to Post Robot: Gyro, please reset yourself and verify proper operation. Gyro: ... WHY IS THE EVERYTHING SPINNING SO FAST? HELP! ... Robot: Are you working yet? How about now? EricVanWyk torihoelscher
Go to Post Robot: Aww, the FMS doesn't want to chat with me anymore. Was it something I said? EricVanWyk bduddy
Go to Post Engineering is so much easier when you give all the components personalities. Then you just watch the drama unfold and try to fix it. EricVanWyk plnyyanks
Go to Post ...the hardest part of engineering is communication. EricVanWyk Meredith Novak
Go to Post a robot is never finished... It can always be redone and improved. EricVicenti Karthik
Go to Post FIRST is different... we commute, journey, and make pilgramage to attend our events. Something that is expensive and exclusive. Erin Rapacki
Go to Post I learned... that I need to learn more. Erin Rapacki Bharat Nain
Go to Post Girls, if you are techy, great! If you're not, don't worry about it. We're all good at something and FIRST can show you what that is. Just remember, be true to WHO YOU ARE. Erin Rapacki Koko Ed
Go to Post I don't miss the manufactured magic of Disney because Championships creates magic in itself; wherever the event may be held. Erin Rapacki MrToast
Go to Post I know nothing. Erin Rapacki JVN
Go to Post FIRST opened a door and I walked through it. Erin Rapacki JaneYoung
Go to Post I believe it is healthy to leave FIRST at some point and carry on with a well-rounded life (family, fun, school, & work). Focus your creative energy on developing your skills as a professional; then, come back to FIRST as a mentor later down the line. Erin Rapacki Pavan Dave
Go to Post I still have 3 good ligaments left and 2 events, so I should be fine :rolleyes: esquared plnyyanks
Go to Post The toughest part about that Chairman's Award was the fact that someone was cutting onions in the stands near 558/on the field while it was being read out. At least that was the excuse I'm going to use ;) esquared Jon K.
Go to Post Mentor to Student: "It's OK, if you mess it up you just get to do it again." EStokely
Go to Post "We'll fix that in programming" EStokely

Go to Post I heartily applaud FIRST for finally reacting proactively to this ongoing problem. Ether pfreivald
Go to Post Friction is finicky. Ether Taylor
Go to Post I'll toss this out to stir up the pot: if you need double precision floats for your FRC software, you should re-think what you're doing. Ether billbo911
Go to Post ASPCA would be happy to know you are petting your watchdog rather than kicking it. Ether Bendito
Go to Post It's a hunch, based on engineering intuition; there are too many hard-to-quantify variables to do any accurate calculations. Looking for some experimental corroboration or refutation. Ether Ian Curtis
Go to Post It's a skid-steer vehicle, so it depends on the phase of the moon and yesterday's lottery numbers. Ether Calvin Hartley
Go to Post [I] [/I]I think this may be some kind of record. We got through 9 entire posts before someone mangled the spelling of mecanum. [I] [/I] Ether Ultimatum
Go to Post FRC is a big tent. There's room for everybody. Ether kelseysea
Go to Post Some people need the 2x4. Ether jwfoss
Go to Post Before you fix something, it's worthwhile to make a concerted effort to figure out why it failed. Ether aryker
Go to Post Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Be careful. Ether frcguy
