One key, esspecialy for newer teams, is to understand that the game rule book and design requirements are requirements, not suggestions. |

from time to time, we all need a good smack to make us see when we screwed up and did something we shouldn't have. |

I'm not sure why, but I'm getting this picture in my head of a bunch of engineers, huddled in deer blinds with 22's, waiting for the right power wheels toy to drive by. |

I can't believe I let build season distract me from the fact that iHop had unlimited pancakes for a few weeks. |

I would go even further and say always hate your robot. Keep breaking, iterating, and trying to figure out how to change the robot from week one of build season to champs. |

Welcome to CD, side effects aren't limited too, but may include, addiction to mechanical and electrical assemblies, desire to program in C, drawing objects in Solidworks and subconscious learning! |

Picking up tetra's is going to be as easy as picking up a person of the opposite sex.
While a select few will master it; others will be bumbling maroons..

Dave Lavery was right... all we had to do was type in "attack old lady" and when we started up our robot it did. |
