It's the corollary that you pick them no matter what shape they start the event in. Pink is known for showing up at their 1st regional with the robot in an unfinished state. And somehow, magically by the end of qualifications it just works, and they win. |

For what it's worth, while they may or may not be legal as safety glasses, Steampunk goggles are perfectly legal as forehead protectors. |

We talked to a team in Las Vegas and next year there will be another team with a 25 drive train. The west coast may never be the same. |

Just put it in the dryer for a few extra cycles. That should shrink it down nice and small. |

I'm sure they liked the size and power output but disliked when they were on fire. |

My mom's cousin heard from her friend who heard from her brother who heard from his barber who heard from his son that his teacher told him that his father's brother's sister's former roommate heard from Frank himself. |

My wife is in advertising, and uses a scary amount of math. They have to know how to target you and beat down your defenses, so that you buy that hamburger while driving that car while wearing those designer jeans to your favorite store. |

YES! I am a MENTOR. Not a chaperone. I am busy all day, I don't want to deal with the stupidity that may or may not go on at night. Besides, I might see something as a cool physics experiment, where a chaperone might see someone dropping pop cans down the stair wells. |

But on the plus side, we can drive the robot with a DDR pad, which is crazy-stupid-cool. |

Team handbooks - they are like safety glasses... they seem stupid and a pain to wear, and they make it harder to see... but they seem important about 1 msec after a flaming hunk on metal bounces off them. |

On a side note... "Think outside the robot." - I kinda like that. I'll have to use that in a meeting someday.... |

OUR CNC machine is named Joe, and he has this week of school off. He eats candy instead of electricity. Not so accurate or repeatable, but very easy to re-program. |

You should take in to consideration who you are putting on to the field, not what. |

"Yes."

Good engineering involves working with constraints, not complaining about them. |

The gearbox can be anything, just as long as it weighs less than 0 lbs, and yes, I'm talking about negative weight here. |

We did the best job we could out there, and unfortunatly we have human limits.. The refs don't catch every penalty, inspectors don't catch every issue, and this year the score keepers won't catch every single ball. |

Throughout the "FIRST" experience we're all taught that if we try hard we'll achieve some level of success down the road; it hits everyone differently. |

We know that the real goal of FIRST is not for this robot to win, but that we learn something. If i was on robotics to win, it wouldn't be nearly as fun. |

Pro safety tip: put a string through coil springs that is tied off securely on the robot frame. This will help prevent the spring from jumping out and killing an inspector if it snaps. |
