What is this "tired" of which you speak? Did it come in the KOP? |

The real question is not whether any teams have had metal in a speed controller, it's whether any teams haven't. |

Do you know how, say, Native American cultures were kept? They had storytellers, sages, and the like. They passed on their legends and culture to the next generation. So will we. |

As far as the GDC being that mean, at least three of them have the pure evil genius rating, and the rest are simply pure evil. |

What do you do after making a design public? Improve it! What do you do when you give your opponents a weapon? Come up with a better one or a way to beat it! What is Wildstang going to do, you ask? Make their drivetrains better! |

Do you mean...? If so, it's illegal under . (insert your favorite reminder to read the manual here) |

Short answer, the GDC has ruled it legal explicitly through Q&A, implicitly through Q&A, and implicitly through the Manual. |

Uh. Oh. Wildstang is simple and has a swerve. Where have I seen that before? |

...trapping Chuck Norris is worth infinity, Dave, Dean, and Woodie are 500 apiece, and trapping Andy Baker is worth double infinity |

Trapping JVN (or any other IFI employee) is negative infinity [I]and[/I] a caption contest. Trapping 1114 is a measly 50 points, unless you trap Karthik, which multiplies your entire score by -1. |
EricH |

 |
By the looks, 1114 has already figured out both #1 and #2. They're still behind 71, who is just about done with their robot for the 2012 season, is getting driver practice for 2011, and is working on their robot designs for the 2013 water game. You're still way behind. |

Only one full day of brainstorming on the hint? Boy are they behind... This thread's been busy for a week! |

[E]specially when Murphy is around (or at a robotics competition), reality tends to win over physics. |

1) Field reset will want to do mean things to you. They have to remove the tubes. |

Does that mean that the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is, "How many total tubes will be available to score for the FRC 2011 game, LogoMotion? |

[when asked where to learn about robot parts] ...some forum called Chief Delphi. I hear the people there are pretty knowledgeable about this robotics thing. |

The best way to brainstorm is to just do it. |

You are done with designing something, not when there's nothing more to add, but when there's nothing left to remove. |

Or, to put it another way: It's a sport where you build your own athlete. |

Yeah, that's a hardware problem. Definitely something to blame the electricals for. Programmers just work there. |

You know you've been in FIRST way too long when you can remember all those hints... even down to exact wording... and only have to look up the most recent. |

You never know when the GDC will slide in a rule about any robot with a laser must do a laser light show on the floor of the field or face a 50-point penalty :p. |

32% of the teams in any division will be or could be in eliminations. And any one of those could be YOU. If you aren't ready, you will be eliminated. If you are ready, you greatly increase your chances of winning. |

it's called the Mars Rock automode (you sit there and wait for Opportunity to come along). |

However, I think the laws of physics indicate that doing so is going to be very difficult at best. |

Calling the refs "zebras" is just fine. Just don't call 'em late for dinner (or visually impaired). |

Anything released in a game hint is subject to enough misinterpretation and "nah, they'll never do that" to deflect any possibility of something being actionable. |

Like fishing, some may get away as you are reeling them in, but never letting out enough line to get the big ones at the bottom is just disappointing. |
