Go to Post My contention is that there is not a whit of difference between noting that a change like that has to be made, and making the change. - Kris Verdeyen [more]

Go to Post Some of your terminology is also a little confusing. Nothing that some massaging can't fix. JVN joshsmithers
Go to Post Remember to ALWAYS use physics in engineering discussions. There is really no room for "feelings" in this sort of thing. JVN Herodotus
Go to Post The fact that it is easy doesn't mean that it is smart. JVN dlavery
Go to Post The most important part of successfully solving the problem is to understand what the problem is. Elegance in engineering comes from "optimizing" your solution, not solving problems that don't really exist. Fulfill your requirements, meet your goals... JVN joshsmithers
Go to Post Overall... the secret is PROTOTYPING! Design is an iterative process. Do some basic design in your head. Build it. Test it. Improve it. Repeat until satisfied. JVN sanddrag
Go to Post I feel like we should get karma points for "Inspiration via Q&A". JVN JaneYoung
Go to Post Enlighten a man who sometimes has difficulty understanding why others stray outside the box, when the box appears to be an optimized and elegant solution. JVN sanddrag
Go to Post Enlighten a man who sometimes has difficulty understanding why others stray outside the box, when the box appears to be an optimized and elegant solution. JVN MrForbes
Go to Post Enlighten a man who sometimes has difficulty understanding why others stray outside the box, when the box appears to be an optimized and elegant solution. JVN Jonathan Norris
Go to Post The thing about working hard, is you can always work harder. The thing about being great is you can always be greater. JVN NickE
Go to Post "So Ken Patton, Paul Copioli, and John V-Neun walk into a bar..." JVN Anna B.
Go to Post If you have an opinion on something, it often says more about you than it does that thing. JVN AlexD744
Go to Post To ANY Robowrangler students reading this thread: If any of you ask me about the game hint, at any time, you will be assigned 4 hours of shop cleaning duty during week 1. No exceptions. JVN Jay Trzaskos
Go to Post The animation is just a pretty tool to help outsiders understand the game; the manual is for me, the animation is for my grandmother. JVN Nin_estarSaerah
Go to Post Continuous improvement isn't rocket science. JVN Vikesrock
Go to Post It is NOT possible to fail within FIRST. It IS possible to fail within the competition (whatever your criteria for failure may be). JVN Jeff Waegelin
Go to Post When it comes to FIRST (you've all heard the cliche) -- we're all winners. When it comes to the competition: to the engineering design challenge, we're NOT all winners -- some solutions are better than others. JVN Jeff Waegelin
Go to Post Striving to build the "best robot" is a fine goal -- don't hate on it. JVN NickE
Go to Post We're not disappointed if we don't achieve excellence, so long as we did everything we could in our pursuit of it. JVN Siri
Go to Post This is an engineering competition. Do some. JVN apalrd
Go to Post This is an engineering competition. Do some. JVN sanddrag
Go to Post You don't need to prototype everything, just the stuff you want to work. JVN IndySam
Go to Post I guess true innovation is when you can actually harness physics to do what you want. Heck -- that sounds suspiciously like engineering. JVN Basel A
Go to Post The last 20% takes 80% of the time. Beware. JVN Arefin Bari
Go to Post Why subject your robot to a potential sensor failure when you can train a monkey (or a student, if monkeys are lacking) to put the tube at the right height every time? JVN AlexD744
Go to Post What is the coefficient of friction between butt and carpet? JVN Billfred
Go to Post Also, If I am not mistaken, the name indicates that your robot is female :P They're all female... like cars, ships, and airplanes. JVN EricLeifermann
Go to Post The only way to make a noticeable shift in OUR culture is if there are a lot of small shifts. JVN KrazyCarl92
Go to Post Just because we don't cheer, doesn't mean we don't have fun. ;) JVN Billfred
Go to Post "Professionalism at all times... even when you're playing an epic prank on your friends." JVN Dillon Carey
Go to Post Ice cream is an iterative process. JVN rsisk
Go to Post I love how your suggestion for MCC is one of the most elite robots of the year, and one of the World Champions. I also love that I really can't argue with you. JVN Billfred
Go to Post So your gearbox failed, and your first course of action was to post about it CD? This is an interesting failure recovery plan. :) JVN EricH
Go to Post As they say... I'd rather be lucky than good any day (especially Saturdays). :) JVN Amanda Morrison
Go to Post An FRC team's success should not be measured in how many robots it can build or how many blue banners it can collect. It should be measured by how many engineers (and other professionals) it 'builds'. jvriezen HannahF
Go to Post Disclaimer: I am not an electrical engineer nor an electrician. I occasionally play one on CD. And when inspecting robots, sort of... jvriezen ctt956
Go to Post It makes me wish I would have paid attention in my physics class... jwallace15 Nate Laverdure
Go to Post I openly admitted to using IE at robotics last year and recieved a major lashing for such blasphemy. Then I downloaded Chrome. jwallace15 daniel_dsouza
Go to Post Ok, I am geting flustered since I can't perform trigonometric functions with the tools FIRST provides. jweric
Go to Post so, i want the clue now, okay? is it bad that i am more interested in this years game than i am in taking my finals next week? jwfoss Tottanka
Go to Post A Strong FRC Team Should... have a clear vision and an understanding of how to achieve it within their means. jwfoss Kims Robot
Go to Post If mecanum wheels are the answer, I have found that I have asked myself the wrong question. jwfoss Basel A
Go to Post Time to iterate, more. jwfoss Whippet
Go to Post Why not go the safer route? Use the robots to play Magic the Gathering. kamocat synth3tk
Go to Post I include these trivial facts for the sole purpose of confusing people. :p KarenH Billfred
Go to Post If it's good enough for Star Trek, it's good enough for FRC. :) KarenH Qbranch
Go to Post I would argue that you are not overdosed if you don't know the correct name of this year's game KarenH RoboDesigners
Go to Post What is this "non-robotics life" of which you speak? :ahh: Karibou kramarczyk
Go to Post ...your mentors are your friends. If you're not sure of something, they probably know the answer to it, and if they don't, they will point you to someone who does. Karibou kramarczyk
Go to Post Maybe we can start a FIRST team on Mars. Karibou Arefin Bari
