Well, the cake could either be a simple cake Or It is blue, so that obviously means that we are having a water game this year. |

I, for one, refused to be railroaded down this train of thought so easily! Geeze, one lousy game hint just builds up steam for any old picture to come through and go two pages in a matter of hours. |

I wonder if it could be... Nah, that would just be way too... Never mind.

We're thinking of using static electricity to pick up the tubes. The programmers are trying to figure out how to make the robot shuffle it's feet on the carpet. |

i just want to say how awesome the high volume tank is. The high volume tank is 7/4 as awesome as the previous tanks. |

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, however... |

One day the code will be written first, and then a robot built around it |

Long post, I know, but to sum it all up, power house teams are a resource, not an enemy. |

Equally possible is that we're just providing some lunch-break entertainment for the people in the GDC. |

Teaching students should take place in the offseason. Applying the skills learned is what the real season is for. |

Woah woah, what about fingers? The programmers have to use something to type with? |

If we supply the part that adds the awesome to their robot, that makes us look good too. |

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

Just think outside the box but inside the 28" X 38" X 60" rectangular prism and you may come up with a solution. |

Set your goals as high as your team thinks they can achieve (drafted, drafting, win awards, regional champs, world champs, etc) and go for them. Let the chips fall and have no regrets. |

When there appears to be something stupid wrong with a game (HPs outscoring robots, unreliable loading, autonomous that accomplishes nothing) I shouldn't complain about it. I should see it as a challenge to exploit! |

Winning medals and awards, being on TV or in a magazine while cool doesn’t even begin to compare to the relationships I’ve developed working with a bunch of great students. |

So the bar is set insanely high. Probably unachievably high for some of us. But what a shame it would be to lower it. |

We just need to make engineering an interesting everyday thing, as visible as art exhibits or concerts or football games. |
