We've done all the speculation we can do (some of us with less knowledge than others); let's rest our minds and keyboards and wait. |

Simply. Minimize. Reduce. It's a good engineering rule, and an even better management one. |

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. |

Eh, typical FIRST team, take something awesome and make it even better. |

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

first post and the FRC "well what is a stick" comes in. Toothpick, does it need to be round, does a carbon fiber chain of Buckie balls count as a stick. CD posters are sooooo predictable. |

Take it from a team that mastered tank treads and still hasn't built them in over a decade - it's not worth it. |

Also, If I am not mistaken, the name indicates that your robot is female :P They're all female... like cars, ships, and airplanes. |

FIRST isn't about building robots. I know. But I also know that Inspiration comes in a lot of flavors and I, for one, believe it is a lot easier to inspire my kids when we set "playing after lunch on Saturday" as a worthy team goal. |

Teams are overconfident every year. Honest evaluation of your capabilities with regard to your design strategy is a skill few teams have. |

How about "Lebron"? Wait, no, you'll be dooming yourselves to failure the last 30 seconds of every match. |

I can't help but notice during the building sequence, there were a whole lot of student hands working on that robot.
Just sayin'. |

Students... be sure to drill air holes in the crate though. Maybe toss in some cheetos for the programmers. |

Our "gracious professionalism" credo insists that we make decisions that are based solely on the desire to inspire and recognize science and technology using robot construction and competition as a vehicle. |

It's very confusing to other people on the message boards when you make things up that are incorrect and assert them as fact. Please don't do this. |

The "line" is the point at which we've raised the floor so high that the advanced teams are hitting the ceiling. The ceiling is pretty darned high (and the GDC keeps raising it), so I don't think we're in danger of that any time soon. |

While those ideals might exist in black and white perfection; in the real world, with very rare exception, they can only be implemented as compromises in shades of gray. |
