Instead of giving us some wood and nails and saying "build us a box", they're handing us power tools and saying "now make us something cool" |

It would also level the playing field by bringing the bottom up, rather than the top down. |

When I had "shop" back in High School they emphazied safety to the fullest extreme. I'm glad they did, I still have a full set of 7 fingers........ |

If there is anything I have learned from ChiefDelphi, it's to never underestimate the coding genius that is Brandon Martus. |

Please share your opinion and post whatever you want, I wouldn’t mind. Because I may be wrong. |

I once started to build a time machine. But then I went back in time and told myself that it wouldn't work, so I gave up on it. -dave |

I swear, sometimes it seems like FIRST has got a room full of monkeys writing code. Maybe the monkeys should spend less time flinging fecal matter at each other and more time testing the code before posting it :-). |

Yes, you are correct. Even when all other databuses are totally out of bandwith, the PainInTheCalf Bus gets top priority. Good thinking ;-) |

IYou might get it all changed over and discover your robot has trouble moving from a dead stop, can no longer turn without playing morse code on the breakers... |

What's so bad about Matt? I mean, if the guy can explain PID so that even I can understand it, he can't be all that bad... |

Surely, we've seen enough new and interesting implementations of technology in FIRST that we won't keep limiting our imagination to the tried and true. |

FIRST is not about a robot competition . . there just happens to be one at every FIRST event. |

If it reads MINUS voltage, the power is reversed (and this is bad). |

Code doesn't break. It reacts exactly the same time every time. When something new happens that never happened before, it's because the mechanicals, electricals or drivers gave the code some new stimulus that wasn't tested before. |

I was a rookie last year, I didn't expect much. Now I got a taste of what it is, I want more. |

I've always responded to the cries of, "robot!" with, "person!" I always get startled looks. It's fun. |

It's not about the robot. It's about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. |

Bottom line: I would suggest that you walk a mile in our shoes and volunteer to be an inspector at your next event... |

A couple of times during our matches, our HOSTBOT had a GAME PIECE right there ready to HANG, but the darn PEG dodged out of the way |

It’s not that we don’t have the time to teach first principals; it’s more that we (FIRST) don’t need to. |

Calculate everything. You won't need to make speed holes if you figure it all out beforehand and get it taken care of. |

I wanted to make an epoxy/carbon fiber/fiberglass arm for our 'bot, but I was outvoted by conservative teenagers. Oh well...
