Embedded.fm FIRST Robotics podcast

When I found out they wanted to do a podcast on FRC, I was excited and sent an e-mail offering any clarifications some outsiders may have about some things we’re allowed to do (and things we aren’t). For example, they’re an embedded electronics podcast, and I know there has been some criticisms on the outside about how locked down our electronics system is, but most ignore the fact that custom circuits are allowed, but have to be used legally. So when I e-mailed me, I was surprised to see an invitation to be on the show. While there are some things I know I forgot to talk about, it’s amazing how fast an hour goes by and before you know it, the show is over.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. It was my first ever podcast, so it was a completely new experience for me.

Thought you did a great job representing your team and first.

Thanks! It was a super cool experience. I’ve been listening to that podcast for quite a while now and had always wanted to talk about FIRST because it’s not really talked about too much on engineering podcasts, even when they’re discussing STEM education, so when the opportunity came up, I jumped on it.
