If you want to have other teams cheer for you all day long at competition, name your team "Robot Coming Through". |

I check CD while I'm waiting for ProE to reload everytime it crashes. So that's about 20 times a day :ahh: |

You will forever be confronted with choosing between right and wrong, or choosing what you think you can get away with. Which way you go defines what kind of person you are. Choose wisely. |

Could you explain this concept of a break from FIRST? Did my wife put you up to this? |

I believe it is in the spirit of the game is to score more points than your opponent within the rules. That means offense AND defense. |

Look for metal shavings in a pwm port; that's caused us to crash plenty of times. |

They had a well made scouting form on the bottom was a check box with nothing next to it, when asked what the box was for they said.
"Oh thats the jerk box"
Since then one of our team goals is "Stay out of the jerk box" |

Hmmm, the Michelangelo method of robot building. Just cut away anything that doesn't look like a robot. |

You know you've been involved with robotics too long when you see a remote-controlled traffic barrel coming up behind people and honking - and it doens't faze you. |

I firmly believe that - those [GDC] committee members I have met, even briefly, certainly have a passion for what they are doing and want to give teams and students the best possible experiences. |

I would suggest spending a few more hours digesting the manual before you finalize your designs. You seem to have missed a few key rules. |

Code doesn't break. It reacts exactly the same time every time. When something new happens that never happened before, it's because the mechanicals, electricals or drivers gave the code some new stimulus that wasn't tested before. |

One wondered why they couldn't practice in the gym that day - because the robotics team had it reserved was the answer. "Oh, we have a robotics team?"
Sigh. This is a team with a low number. They've been around for at least a dozen years. There's still a lot more culture-changing to do. |

If full body suits can be made to fit properly, why do we have so many robots with saggy bumper covers? |

Go with a Big Block. The torque is awesome and you cant beat the sound of a built Big Block with a high lift cam and some open headers. A blower would be a nice addition as well.
Good luck getting past the inspector. |

PS: When/if it gets to be too easy to build a machine that can accomplish a recent/typical FRC game, then I suspect it will be time for someone to unveil a harder game. |

Mentors are the guardrails:
Show the students how to do what they need to do, Step back and let the students do what they need to do, Nudge them back on course when they need a nudge, Insist, when necessary, that no one tries to juggle the chainsaws |

By the way, a piece of advice to all those who haven't gone to Manchester for Kickoff before: Go. It's something you have to do at least once in your time in FIRST. - Billfred [more]
