...or it might be good to avoid doing stupid things like smashing a thin metal casing with a steel hammer... |

Generally, when you do something stupid and unsafe, it isn't the best idea to go and tell thousands of people on CD about it. :rolleyes: |

This is not pinewood derby. This is not a science fair. This is a sport, and in sports there are winners and losers. |

Without mentors, you wouldn't even be participating in FIRST. Your team wouldn't exist, and FIRST as a program wouldn't exist. If it did, it'd just be another form of a science fair. |

At IRI you have 72 of the best teams in the country. It could literally be held in a cornfield in the middle of Indiana and nobody would care, because the competition is simply that good. |

It's always better to figure out why a design actually works and the best ways to implement it than to just assume upgrading to a "better" material will make everything work. |

What good will it do to have 10,000 teams who barely have a clue and are just scraping by versus 2,000 teams that are actually sustainable? |

If you can't make them fit on the robot, then those features don't really add much value. |

The point of FIRST is not to create pretty robots. It's to teach kids about science, technology, and engineering. |

But when it comes down to it, the best teams usually end up winning regardless. |

If said device costs 10x more to manufacture than a simpler solution integrating COTS parts, and only performs 10% better, that's poor engineering. |

If I was making this I would want to not have to use anything smaller than a 3/16" end mill, but 1/8" would be acceptable. Anything smaller and I'd tell the designer to go play in traffic. |

Let this be a lesson to everyone to never make changes to manufacturing drawings without issuing a new rev of the drawing itself... |

I personally think that everybody on the team is important. No matter what, every single student, mentor, teacher put their effort all year long to get the team going. So in my opinion, Credit goes to everyone. - Arefin Bari [more]
