I heard a Lou Holtz quote as an answer to the question of "how do you motivate the unmotivated". He said " You eliminate those who are not motivated." |

The first law of programming is that there are always ways of doing things quicker and in less space than you already are. |

When we got it tuned to the point where we were (reasonably) confident it wouldn't slam into Dave's ankle, we quit for the evening. |

I then asked if I could use a flux capacitor for power, but that didn't go over too well, either (they did say I could use it for decorative purposes, though). |

(The wheels) need to be green anodized, and then assembled with yellow anodized spinners. ... and then, on the spinners, you can etch "JVN is a dweeb". That would be cool. |

You can have any color robot you like, so long as it stays that color. So you shouldn't have to worry unless you have a chameleon bot. |

Winning the robot part of the competition is not about learning or doing unneccesary work. It works just like "winning" in industry. |

You are given a goal with some simple restrictions. That's it. No one really cares how you get it done, just the fact that you get it done. |

My favorite question of all time asked by "outsiders": How much does/did that thing cost? How can you put a price on the hard-work and dedication it took to build these machines? |
