Our club visited the Seattle Regional this week and they all have the FRC bug now. May God have mercy on our souls... |

A good robot can score a lot of points. A great robot can do it when the other alliance does everything they can to stop it. |

I know you've finished the first 75% of the robot, but do you have enough time left to finish the other 75%? |

Just a modest request for folks NOT to put 3000-pixel-wide pictures inline in the forum. A link to the big picture works just as well while keeping the text readable. Thanks. |

I'm sure there aren't a bunch of rule makers sitting in a board room discussing "What rule can we change now to mess with the teams' heads?" Lets all just sit back and enjoy the regionals! |

To me, the changing rules are a big part of the fun. If the rules stayed the same year to year, robots would start to look the same. That would be boring. |

Engineers are not eligible to join NEMO, but that's OK! For us, there is an ad-hoc disorganization, notionally dubbed EMO. Meetings have no agenda and are called at random, usually in the evenings following long days at FIRST events. |

Or you could go to the Waterloo or Greater Toronto regional, walk up to anyone in their pit, and ask. You may end up feeling like you asked for a sip of water and ended up soaked by a fire hose, but you won't walk away disappointed. |

FIRST will continue searching for rules and procedures to keep us from hurting ourselves. However, none of this will substitute for judicious application of common sense. |

Not all FIRST people are nuts. Some are threaded holes, rivets, velcro, or zip-ties. Anything but duct-tape. |

I'm not certain that I agree with me on this reasoning, either. |

Of course, someone who can score on all rack levels while hovering autononmously 12 inches off the floor in his own home zone could probably have posted on CD while winning a regional.;) |

Due to risk of unforseeable consequences, teams may not initiate a wormhole for the purpose of scoring ringers from past or future matches. |

It would appear that your PLTW teacher succeeded in tricking you into learning something after all. Teachers are sneaky that way! |

We can't all be Dean. But with the right attitude and preparation, we can make careers out of our passions. |

Now stop reading CD, do your homework, eat your peas, brush your teeth, and go to bed. Any time you spend speculating as to what Dave's ravings might mean is completely wasted. |

We're 3 pounds over. Drill until the hole saw is too hot to touch, then go find something else to cut off while you wait for it to cool down. |

My lasting impression of 217 (for years now) has been based on how their robot looks, dynamically. It is poultry in motion. :) |

Engineering literature?

Let it be noted in the annals of FIRST history that on this day the game design committee did NOT choose to change, clarify, explain, or interpret ANY PART of the 2010 Manual. |

Several really good programming and control specialists haunt CD, but a thread titled "motor failure" might not attract their notice soon. |
