It's like FIRST saying "Well it was too hard, so we give up. Lets give the kids something easier to do." How is that supposed to inspire kids? |

Before anyone accuses FIRST of being in the pocket of the sponsoring corporations, they might spend a minute and a half to actually apply some of that critical analytical ability that we are supposed to be demonstrating as educated engineers. |

Take care of what's there and you never need a replacement. |

Spouting off without all of the facts is a bad idea. It's also bad to envoke the gods of "Gracious Professionalism" to judge others. |

I've been inspired for real engineering during the build season and on the playing field, but the inspiration I found in the pits is often for creative thinking and intuition. |

FIRST, in itself, will not make you an engineer. |

Please try to apply GP to situations where it makes some sense, as otherwise you're just diluting the meaning. |

Last I checked the Mars Rovers don't play any defense either and that's pretty cool stuff. |

I think rovers on Mars are way cool but you won't get a crowd of enthusiastic participants cheering as they trudge 150 meters a day. |

We may not have any Paris Hiltons around here (though I've heard Paul Copioli is a great kisser) |

The battery needs to be velcro-ed, strapped, buckled, tied, bolted, glued, zipped, or stapled in place so that it can't fall out when (not if) the robot turns upside-down. |

One thing that always strikes me at FRC competitions is seeing the little nerds reveling in the same kind of self-celebrating bravado the high school jocks have always indulged in. |

If you want to grow the program such that every student on the planet has the chance to participate, you have to start THINKING with a world-centric mindset. |

I don't think Dean Kamen ever recieved a real degree. That doesn't make him any less of an engineer.:) |

Yes, I'll admit it...I had a crush on Ken Leung when we all went out together for the college night in 2002. |

Ken Leung is the most efficient sleeper I know. Standing up, at the scoring table, during the pig roast, whatever. That guy can sleep! |

I was surprised how easily Mike hoisted me off the ground. I'm nearly 250 pounds and he lifted me up like I was a soccer ball! :ahh: |

For every hour you spend screwing pieces of your robot together, 20 hours of important stuff goes on behind your back. |

Canadian teams would definitely be able to give some of the "big boys" a run for their money. Despite the fact that their money is worth more than ours... =) |

Brandon, can you make some sort of mind-reading device that i can just think "portal" and i'll go back? |

When I saw the title of this thread ("Reverse Robotics"), I thought "what, you get six weeks to take apart a robot or something??" |

If the world was like ChiefDelphi, people would be more eager to help out, offer advice and encourage each other to better things... not a bad world, that. |
