I'll admit that the events at Epcot were pretty nice, but they too had their problems. . . You were at the mercy of the weather, and Disney hasn't figured out how to control that yet. |

Dean: We encourage kids to learn about science, technology....
Colbert: And does that include creation science?
Dean: .... Well we teach kids to be very creative..... |

How easy will it be for a driver to control 5-6 different motions at once? Most drivers only have two hands. |

Ironically, I think the best testament to the program [Dean Kamen] founded and his ideals wouldn't be if he won a Nobel Prize. It would be if you did. |

Please try to apply GP to situations where it makes some sense, as otherwise you're just diluting the meaning. |

So yeah, everyone please remember that lathes are one of the most dangerous machine tools you'll encounter. And keep your hand on the chuck key whenever it's in the chuck. If you never let it go till it's out of the chuck, it's stupendously less likely to take flight. |

Clearly they're releasing the game hint on 12/21/12 because they know the world's going to end, and they want to keep FIRSTers happy and distracted until the very end. |

I suggested it in brainstorming, but then people threw things at me. Apparently there ARE bad ideas in brainstorming. |

This isn't an engineering fair and demonstration, it's FRC. Defense is part of the game. You can't expect a good FRC team to just sit there and get clobbered by a full-court shooter; they're going to engineer a solution to the problem. |

Because nothing says safety like carrying a 150lb robot across a field covered in golf balls. |

TL;DR: The robot battery (and your car battery) aren't going to electrocute you unless you stab a positive and negative wire from them into your heart. In which case you have plenty of other problems besides. |

When we got it tuned to the point where we were (reasonably) confident it wouldn't slam into Dave's ankle, we quit for the evening. |

I then asked if I could use a flux capacitor for power, but that didn't go over too well, either (they did say I could use it for decorative purposes, though). |

I swear, sometimes it seems like FIRST has got a room full of monkeys writing code. Maybe the monkeys should spend less time flinging fecal matter at each other and more time testing the code before posting it :-). |

Engineering fundamentally comes down to problem solving, and if the students can't get excited and inspired by the problem solving process because someone has spoon fed them a solution, then nobody wins.

For those of us in the north, a water game turns into an ice game, which becomes Lunacy. And I don't think any of us want that. |

The competition is about MUCH more than just the robot. If kids are glued to the robot all of the time, then they miss the rest of it... the other fun stuff, what makes FIRST, FIRST. |
