As you get more into your years in FRC, you start becoming friends with more people. You should try it out. Robotics people are pretty nice. |

I suggested it in brainstorming, but then people threw things at me. Apparently there ARE bad ideas in brainstorming. |

Their robot moves so fast that it changes colour due to the Dopler Effect. By rapidly alternating between driving away from the viewer (Redshift) and driving toward the viewer (Blueshift), they can make the viewer see it in their traditional purple colour. |

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

Here's some food for thought: Does your FRC program need the students, or do the students need your FRC program? |

There will always be a point in your FIRST experience when you realize you can get away with something that is against the rules. It is at that point when you have a choice to make about your own personal ethics, and what sort of example you will set for your students. |
