They are "Human Dream and Inspiration Enablement Devices" but since that takes too long to say and explain I use the word "robot". |

I suspect the GDC is enjoying watching teams wrap their heads around this ranking algorithm.... and is probably a bit surprised that it has taken teams so long to clue in to the options this ranking system presents to them. |

Guys,
Can we agree that "we used it in the past" is not a response.
Thanks. |

As goes with all of my advice on CD, try it yourself and make up your own mind. I'm just suggesting things based on experience. See what works for your team. Follow my suggestions to the letter, mix and match them, or even throw them completely out the window. It's all about you and your team. |

Just keep doing. Everything. Keep designing, keep building, keep learning, keep fundraising. Build more robots, try more ideas, compete more and more and more. |

The future is a dark and mysterious place, and trying to force our current methods on that are patently absurd. |

I've learned that the measure of success isn't the money you make, the education you get, or the car you drive. Your success can only be measured in the amount of people in whose lives you've made a difference and the size of your heart. |

Inventions are not built using premade parts. People come up with new ideas, from different angles and with renewed enthusiasm. Playing the game is fun, building and designing is inspirational. |

I think that this clearly indicates that 2017 will be the year we finally see 3.63 robots per alliance. |

I've got much more out of FIRST ever since I stopped and realized I can gain so much more from trying to improve my current team's situation rather than complain about teams who have more. |

My calculations indicate that the game will involve pouring large areas of concrete and waiting for it to dry. Field reset should be interesting. |
