You mean how many Edible Data Analysis Metrics and Aggregated Measurable Entities (EDAMAME)? |

New CAD computer one day and the 254 Build Blog + Tech Binder the next? Christmas in July really does exist. |

I'm a bit wary about playing on the new fields, however, because of the Carson/Carver/Hopper/Tesla Curse. I hear no alliance from those divisions has ever won championships. |

Most of the people who fit the profile of long tenured FIRST mentor are either already on a team or locked up in an institution where they belong... |

I'm sure they liked the size and power output but disliked when they were on fire. |

It's funny how many things learnt in Physics class at school I am able to apply to FRC. |

There are "Problems", and then there are "Solutions". Understand the Problem, and keep your mind open to alternative solutions. Don't get married to a Solution. |

I tried, but our freshmen lost enthusiasm about filing the blocks of aluminum I gave them into Andymark Performance Wheels after only a few hours! |

Because of the silly "What's the best 254 team" thread I recently found there is an Electric Sheep! 2546. TBA also says 2505 is The Electric Sheep But which team is the one androids dream of? |

This is not an engineering design challenge, this is a project management and common sense challenge with engineering elements. Don't go out of your way to screw yourself. |

To go a step further, to be "steam punk", electrics would need to be powered from a steam turbine operated dynamo but electric wiring would still be required to follow all rules as they would apply. |

Large areas of ice in south Georgia is some what of an oxymoron. The best place for ice in south Georgia is in tea. |

Obligatory warning: School comes first. If you have to choose between doing homework and going to a build season meeting, do the homework. |

Wisdom is knowing the difference between "the way to do things" and "the right way to do things." Just because an action may be physically possible does not mean that it is smart to do. |

Once I see that it is black with aluminum ends, I only care about the inside. Sort of like Oreo's. |

you know your team has respect from teachers when classes start waving projects during build season saying you get full credit if the robot ships. |

I'll toss this out to stir up the pot: if you need double precision floats for your FRC software, you should re-think what you're doing. |

The only odd part about this competition is that rather than further convince me that I want to be an engineer, it did the converse... I want to be a teacher. - pauluffel [more]
