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. |

You know you're addicted to FIRST when to you: 4's company, 5's a crowd, and 6 is someone off-sides. |

This game is absolutely *NOT* too difficult, but many teams will make it too difficult by biting off more than they can chew. |

I understand that I'm in the minority when it comes to these things, so when the coverage switches to one these stories I exercise my right to change the channel. |

Don’t forget the purpose of Chiefdelphi. It is to keep the community connected and to help each other out. Moderators have been working days and nights to keep this forum going years after years. Let’s keep this place professional. |

By the way, a piece of advice to all those who haven't gone to Manchester for Kickoff before: Go. It's something you have to do at least once in your time in FIRST. |

The very fact that parts are rumored to be being re-used may be sufficient reason for the rule-makers to change a rule to prevent the re-use of that very part (not that they would ever be that devious!) |

I wonder if Radio Shacks all over should prepare for VEX robots dropping by for spare parts just like people going to a medical clinic... |

I can't wait until Kick Off! Simultaneously across the country there will be one loud cry of "Doh!", followed by the sound of smacking foreheads with the palm of a hand, then "Why didn't I figure that out? I saw the hint". Indeed, hind sight is 20/20. |

Dean's said it before, and it's been repeated many times, but it clearly hasn't sunk in yet, so I'll say really loudly. FIRST is not a science fair!

The gates were removed for this game so that it would be easier to get the Zamboni in and out when the field was resurfaced after each round.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 13:32.
it's much easier to build safety in to a system than to add it on a Thursday at a regional. - dtengineering [more]
