Dave Lavery just responded to one of my posts. I think that I might die. |

Now, if that team were to split...would it be dividing by zero? |

I wake up at noon on Christmas Eve, and find tweets announcing a game hint. Looks like I won't be seeing much of my family today... |

Note to self for next year, apply physics rather than "well, this SEEMS like it would work." |

While money can create fancy-looking robots, it does not always create game-winning ideas. |

However, I do expect something truthful to come out of some of Dave's posts. |

Ha, our 2009 robot's nickname was Sparky, for the same reason...we now have EXTRA fire extinguishers because of it ;P |

Machinery tends to make chips fly into weird places. Lathes and mills are particularly good at this, though drill presses are skilled as well. |

It will really be different for us (ESPECIALLY since our robot drives consistently this year). |

This special is supposed to promote science, not convert the world to gracious professionalism (though that wouldn't be such a bad idea). |

I owe these forums a lot more than $15 for all of the help and friends they have given me. |

And then I learned how to use the lathe...long story short, I ditched my plans to become a music major and became an engineering student. |

Why not go the safer route? Use the robots to play Magic the Gathering. |

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? |

A Strong FRC Team Should... have a clear vision and an understanding of how to achieve it within their means. |

I openly admitted to using IE at robotics last year and recieved a major lashing for such blasphemy. Then I downloaded Chrome. |

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'. |

It is great to be proud of the way you do things, but to imply that everyone should match your way of thinking, is ludicrous. |

I know I will never be part of an alliance this incredible, ever again (my apologies to all future partners, but you've got BIG shoes to fill.) |

I always say find what works best for your team, for your given situation. Why should we rely on someone else to tell me what will work best for our situation? |

I think with 1114 & 217 as our partners we could have won with my refrigerator on the field. |

Some of your terminology is also a little confusing. Nothing that some massaging can't fix. |

Remember to ALWAYS use physics in engineering discussions. There is really no room for "feelings" in this sort of thing. |

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... |

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. |

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. |
