We use a student coach/team captain for Team 342. This allows us mentors to sit in the pit area during competition and just relax. Watching the competition really gets our stomachs tied in knots. |

Man, Dave always has to one up us. We build robots to play games, he build robots to go on other planets, Elgin makes CD 30 inches, you make it 63 inches. |

Unfortunately I think IFI made us buy a new one. Something about 200amps across the power connector not being a warranty item. |

And we drafted without computers...forget the calculators...we used slide rules...the punchcards piled up so high we needed more office space...and we programmed in three feet of snow...up hill...both ways |

I'll admit that the events at Epcot were pretty nice, but they too had their problems. . . You were at the mercy of the weather, and Disney hasn't figured out how to control that yet. |

For some strange reason, people always seem to spell my last name incorrectly. I'm not really sure why. |

Look guys, I am telling you for the fourth time - you are NEVER going to earn your official "Geek" certificates if you keep spelling "pwned" with an "O" in it! |

Don't limit programming to just hitting keys, there is a lot of logic/design involved. |

You can also always use the "Report Post" button on each post and that'll dispatch a carrier pigeon to each of our homes...or an e-mail if the carrier pigeons have taken the day off. |

I don't think Brandon is actually doing this, I think he has CD-47 Bot and Archiver locked in a closet doing all this while he has fun |

First check for any bind in the transmissions, especially chain. Next, check to see if the motors are O.K. Use code as a last resort. |
