"But from a real life standpoint, that looks like something the evil villains in a superhero movie would use to get around in"
Reading the phrases "real life" and "evil villains in a superhero movie" in the same sentence makes me giggle. |

It is impossible to be grumpy about anything when eating biscotti made by one's beautiful wife, drinking tea sweetened by one's own honey, warmed by a wood stove, and with a dog asleep on one's foot. Simply impossible. |

KISS does not mean that your goals and capabilities are "simple", it means that the way you achieve them is simple. |

Our robot throws custom $5.50 FIRST Frisbees at a rate of 75 discs per minute and a speed of ~32 feet per second.
It costs over $80 to feed our robot for 12 seconds. |

Our safety manager isn't allowed to use the power tools, because he used a drill as a pointing device. |

You never know when the GDC will slide in a rule about any robot with a laser must do a laser light show on the floor of the field or face a 50-point penalty :p. |

I believe it is in the spirit of the game is to score more points than your opponent within the rules. That means offense AND defense. |

All the same lessons that can be learned or taught with custom drive trains can also be learned or taught with custom manipulators and scoring mechanisms, and the latter is far more likely to set your team apart in the competition. |

I like drifting, but I have to go WRC. Putting a car where it doesn't belong feels right, like combining together drill motors and power window motors and putting them on a big patch of carpet.
