And the picture:
Teaching the little one about the brain of the robot. Explaining in simple terms the cRIO and how it functions and how it sends signals to the motor controllers and on to the motors. He is now my right hand man on the controls team.

“No, you moron! The RED wire goes in the RED space, the BLACK wire goes in the BLACK space! Can’t you do anything right? Last time I got that reversed, my parents grounded me for three days–and I wasn’t even crawling yet! Now I’m walking, and you’ve been through high school, and you STILL don’t know that???”

And you thought that you were smart when you realized the square block went into the square hole…
Karthik teaching Nick Lawrence Electrical stuff…
Look at this guy, thinking he’s cool with his gold medal…
… Clink clink go my three
Guess being short isn’t so bad. Makes it easier for volunteers to award you with said medals.
Back to the contest, here’s my bid.
“This is a wire. It makes the power go- NO TIMMY DON’T EAT THAT!”

<NPOE>^^^^^ How am I supposed to compete with that entry?:yikes: </NPOE>
Can we finally put a hard lower age limit on FRC teams? Seriously!
Oh great, you just ruined him for FLL. How’s his FLL coach supposed to get him interested in MindStorms when you’re teaching him JAVA?
Finally released – a 2009 picture of team 1745’s “secret weapon”. Clearly this is how team 1745 came home with a blue banner in 2009.

A demonstration of when you both want to be good teenage parents and still do FIRST.
And that is how you stay grounded. Now on to how the robot works.
FIRST’s testing phase for the launch of their new program - Jr. FRC
After failing to identify the correct ground wire, Dave (on the left) had to go back to his teacher for remedial training.
“So Mommy found the plans for the laser rifle in the drawer, under your Sponge Bob underwear, Kiddo. She doesn’t want you playing with guns so much, so Daddy’s going to teach you how to build one ‘killer’ robot! How’s that sound?”
Pavan’s idea of fun? Paying it forward.
When the cRIO contract ends in a few years, I think I know who the mastermind behind the new controls system will be.

New definition to the term “pre rookie”
If he can do it, you have no excuse. Does it really matter which “he” I mean?
This is** not** how FIRST tests the electrical portion of the Robot manual!
The “c” in cRio really stands for “child.” Now, you can see why.
