With the New Year right around the corner and FIRST starting up right after that, what are some of your teams/personal goals for this coming season? Here are a few of mine/my teams:
I’ve been involved for 12 years and as a Senior I would love to go to the Championship since I have not gone, I have only seen my brothers go.
I want team 134 to win a competition
Personally as the webmaster, I want to win a website award!
Ok, I will post a small list - though it probably could be much larger:
#1 - Have as many people that start the build season finish the build season. #2 - Eat less pizza. #3 - Eat less subway. #4 - Sleep more (har har har) #4.5 - Build a practice robot AND a competition robot #4.6 - Have the students do more this year and the mentors do less #5 - Win the Bayou Regional again And/Or win the Chairman’s Award #5.1 - Be a successful Drive Coach. #6 - Raise the rest of the funds to attend the Lonestar and Championship #7 - Go to the top of the Arch in St. Louis #8 - Go back to The City Museum in St. Louis #9 - Make it to one of the top eight alliances in St. Louis #10 - Win Einstein
Ok - so I thought big. Sometimes my eyes are too big for my stomach
Build a t-shirt cannon. With two gatling guns!
[STRIKE]4. (personal goal) Get 11 rep point blocks. I know they’re just dots, but they’re such alluring dots…[/STRIKE]
EDIT: Oh, no! I just realized I missed my goal of getting a Cheesy Poofs number of posts! This is post 258 for me - how did that just go by like that? :ahh:
EDITED again: Thanks to everyone who put some positive rep on this post. One goal down, three to go! However, I really meant that I would work on my wittiness and experience to earn the rep the usual way, so I still have to work towards that.
I want us to…
CAD and plan everything before we build it.
Build a solid, consistent machine, even if it isn’t the fastest, highest scoring, most amazing work of art ever to touch the field.
Dreams? Make it to elims at championship or win a regional.
Survive my first season as our lead technical mentor. (It’s not my first season of involvement I just needed to step up to take on more this year.)
Help inspire our students.
Complete a fieldable robot early (Never finished, constant iteration, but having a robot we can put on the field and will function a week early would be nice so we have time to iterate).
I suppose mine aren’t so ambitious, but they imply stretch goals similar to what’s been posted:
1.) Be the best at the endgame this year, regardless of the main scoring goal
2.) Perform some of the decision aiding and numerical analysis techniques I’ve learned with my degree to find a quiet lucrative niche
3.) Seed #1 again
4.) Have a full render of the robot in various configurations, regardless of whether it’s before or after the robot is built. (Often it’s easier to spot a problem in build, redesign it via prototyping, and simply put the prototype on the bot…)
5.) Make a launch video and a wrap video
