if you do make a marshmallow robot, that would be pretty sweet. |

Hurricane season would be torture, at least in snow you can lock the doors and know the robot is safe. |

50% of the time that 330 used mcmaster 2717T51, we went to Einstein. Your mileage may vary. |

No offense, but telling the Killer Bees they should do something is like telling Micheal Jordan how to dunk a basketball (or Lebron James for you young'ens who don't know who Michael Jordan is)...

I think I have a warning label saved somewhere on my computer that says "Warning: All photos taken with this camera may be photoshopped" but I keep forgetting to put it on my camera. |

I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised. |

You really can't have a bad year. The only way you can is to come out of it and not learn anything. |

And that's why we all need to consider reserving a "No! Bad robot!" button for the robocoach. :yikes: |

You can't stop trying to look for other ways to do things, or that really defeats the whole purpose of inovation. |

It's a good things we're engineers who regularly squeeze out 'miracles' with a severely limited budget, eh? I think that's an important aspect that we as mentors need to show the students from time to time, and this year is a perfect opportunity. |

you don't need a fancy workshop to build a good robot, just determined people. |

Overall I really like the idea, and don't be surprised if I borrow some of these ideas for a future robot. |

Glue it, screw it, bolt it, rivet it, weld it. If the design is flawed it will fail. |

The mediocre do the minimum, then exclaim how easy it is.
The exceptional never stop to gloat... they're too busy figuring out new ways to make it even better... |

Its great for us as mentors to see students teaching other students and a robot being built from scratch without us. Maybe someday they won't need us at all!!! |

So your gearbox failed, and your first course of action was to post about it CD?
This is an interesting failure recovery plan. :) |

Just a note, there are 2,534 teams registered and competing in FRC this year. That means that there are 2,533 teams being run in a manner entirely different than your own. |

It definitely looked like a penalty, but in FRC if it looks like a penalty and smells like a penalty, well, unfortunately it might not be. |

If your logo is your team number in a font 4" tall in 1/2" stroke, colored/outlined in white, then yes.
Otherwise, no. |
