FIRST builds bridges, and absolutely should not build walls. |

The longer you play robots, the more you realize that it's not about the robots. |

The competition is different - everybody really "wins" by all of the great things teams think of to do for other teams and the community. |

This is an Internet forum- if you want to relax, sit next to a pool and sun bathe. However, the rest of us will have a mature discussions and debates on the CD forums. |

The best parts of FIRST just cannot be described. They have to be experienced. |

My experience in FIRST has taught me that, whatever you do, make sure that no single failure can eliminate half your drive system.[...] The worst feeling in the world is having your robot driving around in circles when there is critical business to be done on the playing field. |

It's far easier to find ambiguity in the rules than to write them. |

this is ridiculous, a complete waste of time, and probably not particularly effective. I love it! |

No. This is CD, take the threads and their topics seriously. |

Throw the programmers (or freshmen with duct tape depending on the state of your robot) in the trailer with the robot for the ride between events. Problem solved. :D |

When your driver is the "world record holder in Mario Cart" you know it's going to be exciting for the students and stressful for the pit crew. :ahh: |

Go with a Big Block. The torque is awesome and you cant beat the sound of a built Big Block with a high lift cam and some open headers. A blower would be a nice addition as well.
Good luck getting past the inspector. |

Mistakes happen. It's how we react to them and what we learn from them that shows what type of people we are. |

How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They'll just say it's a hardware problem. |

Do you guys mind if we postpone kick-off to around January 26 or so? We can still keep the ship date on February 20, if that isn't a problem. |

I like drifting, but I have to go WRC. Putting a car where it doesn't belong feels right, like combining together drill motors and power window motors and putting them on a big patch of carpet.

Our safety manager isn't allowed to use the power tools, because he used a drill as a pointing device. |

You never know when the GDC will slide in a rule about any robot with a laser must do a laser light show on the floor of the field or face a 50-point penalty :p. |

I believe it is in the spirit of the game is to score more points than your opponent within the rules. That means offense AND defense. |

I know I exaggerated a bit, but NASA put a man on the moon with less processing than some FRC bots. Think about that for a minute. |

610 is an all boys school, and we were surprised to see our pit and robot neatly decorated with hot pink boas and flowers upon arrival this morning. |

All the same lessons that can be learned or taught with custom drive trains can also be learned or taught with custom manipulators and scoring mechanisms, and the latter is far more likely to set your team apart in the competition. |
