Sorry- therefore IOU 1 Battery- you can collect it on I-95 about 1 mile south of exit 13A in the center lane...... (ps- of course that battery is "free of charge") |

Although it is tempting, try not to toot your own horn in this thread. While you may have an awesome bot, the real compliment should come from other teams. |

I will follow FIRST's guidelines, as long as they conform with those of the English language. |

Well, I know that I could crash the robot into a large object with even greater precision... but if you mean what could the kids do with it... yeah, they'd probably accomplish something creative and useful! |

Adult coaches are the "rock stars" of our program, and I know on Simbotics the kids really do look up to and aspire to be a great as these coaches. |

Kit wheel? Someone probably has them. N-tooth IFI sprocket? You might get lucky. Part Made By A Local Company When You're Competing 800 Miles Away? Bring three. |

Some of your terminology is also a little confusing. Nothing that some massaging can't fix. |

The most important part of successfully solving the problem is to understand what the problem is. Elegance in engineering comes from "optimizing" your solution, not solving problems that don't really exist. Fulfill your requirements, meet your goals... |

"This is the year that everyone on CD will make a serious effort to write grammatically correct sentences."
"This is the year that everyone on CD will think BEFORE they post."

The one thing that no one ever list in scouting but is one of the most important factors is reliability. I don't care if the robot scores a hundred balls a match if I can't count on you being out there for the next three because it's a fragile as china. |

We're 30 pounds over LOL. I probably shouldn't be lol'ing, but it is 11:52PM, I just got home from a 15 hour build session, and I find the word 'potato' funny. |

Q&A is certainly a good route to take, but depending on how gray the topic in question is, CD is certainly a good place to ask the question. |

We've done that autonomous. After several years of refinement we decided to skip the information collection and just drive into the wall at the earliest opportunity. |

As I told my friend Joe Johnson, just because you aren't around as much doesn't mean that you can just close the book on this chapter, instead - just keep a book marker in this place, so you can remember how to find your way back home - when the time is right.

teams that REALLY deserve to win will find ways to overcome a marginal officiating decision. Also, teams that REALLY deserved to win will try not to put themselves in that position. |

Legend has it that Brandon installs the server in a bulletproof case shortly before Kickoff. That way, when the server explodes, the damage to surrounding things is minimal. ;) |

Only think of Gracious Professionalism as a standard to work toward personally. Never use it as a gauge to point out someone else’s shortcomings.
