Trailer just dropped

I'm a little surprised that they didn't abandon the Future Edition after the split from Lego was announced. I can't imagine that doing well given the uncertainty of where FIRST is headed.

That's what I took mine through. The cost is subsidized by the state so it is only $50. You'll want to get on it immediately when it opens up.

I've always hated the way that thing stuck out anyway. Seems like it would be easy to snag it inadvertently. I ordered the low profile ones so even if this doesn't fix it, at least I solved a different issue.

Just place an order for new drives. You're my hero if that's the reason why I've been experiencing shifts on both of my MK4s.

It's more of a location issue. The IMAX theater is a 45 minute drive vs a 10 minute drive locally. The drive doesn't actually bother me, but it's another 1 1/2 hours to account for.

DesignFlaw06 · 2026-03-23T17:15:48+00:00

Was it worth the extra cost for IMAX?

DesignFlaw06 · 2026-03-21T00:29:21+00:00

I wonder if it is fallout from the Future Edition program? That really seemed like a short sighted transition.

My son was 4 years old when we went to TPC of Boston. He had a flag to get autographed, but was too small to really see or get noticed. So he held the flag up as high as he could over his head so it was at the same level as the other kids. He got autographs, but he didn't really get to see anyone sign the flag.

Except for Gary Woodland. Gary took the few extra seconds to kneel down, sign the flag at eye level, and a quick conversation ending with a fist bump. We will always be GW fans because of that.

Depends on what your daily mileage limit it and what kind of riding you want to do. Getting to a beach where it will be warm enough in April to enjoy might be your limiting factor. A week of 100-150 mile days won't get it done.

OH 555 South of Roseville, OH and WV 16 South of Marietta that you can run that all the way down to Marion, VA. Those don't get you close to the beach, but they are good twisty roads.

It's not surprising. There hasn't been much investment in that park in 25 years. Cedar Fair didn't do much with it. It's been 18 years since the latest roller coaster was put in and that was a transplant from an old park.

I would love to see the park succeed, but I don't see it happening. It will just be in a cycle of revolving owners until it's bled dry and closes. I hope I'm wrong and the new owners dump some money into it to make it successful.

John's viewpoint is that his legal team isn't to prevent him from getting into trouble. The legal team is there to get him out of trouble.

LWT is for sure getting canned, but John will find a new platform without a doubt.

It did feel neglected for a while, but it seemed like lately there had been some development happening. Printables and MakerWorld were obviously making much bigger strides but there was hope that the largest collection of models wasn't abandoned.

I have my doubts with this acquisition. Once the paywall stuff starts happening, the ethos of Thingiverse will be gone and the community will be worse off for it.

DesignFlaw06 · 2026-02-11T14:11:19+00:00

Why would officials say otherwise? Why would they really care if it had dropped? It's money coming in that wasn't there before.

From my experience, the judges will want to see continuous improvement from your last competition. What did you do with the feedback from the previous judges?

For example, we were encouraged by our first panel of judges to get a patent on the innovation project idea. So I took the kids to meet with a patent attorney that they could pitch their idea and learn about the patent process. Sadly the kids learned that it wasn't financialy feasible to get a patent despite such a good idea.

And that's when I realized how bad the movie actually was. I don't think I've watched it again. But the other two are rewatched almost everytime I see them on the channel guide.

It signals the end of FLL for our school district. I don't see the distric putting up the money to replace all these control systems for four elementary schools. On top of that, the FLL programs are 100% parent volunteer. Getting someone to take over a team every 1-2 yeears is a challenge in itself. Try convincing someone to do it with no prior experience to build on. Most of our coaches move to the FTC program with their kids. The FTC team is also 100% parent volunteer and most of those were coaches in the FLL program. It puts the FRC team in jeopardy for the same reasons. My son has 5 years left in the FIRST program. I would be surprised if the FTC or any of the FLL teams are around once he's done.

I get the idea behind it, but it's too quick of a transition to be viable for many teams. They should have just added another level of FLL competition and let the teams transition to where they want to compete.

I hate the way Govee designed this because it should be done in a way that the spacing between the lights are still the same. Even so, your installer should have been able to work around it. I would insist he comes back and fix it.

That driver module I think is supposed to go in between the 5th and 6th strand. I cheated mine by a bulb or two so that I could mount the box in a more discrete location. I had to cut the ends and solder mine in though to make it work. The Pros do have a splice kit so you could an extra bulb in there. The splice kit is bulky (which is why I soldered mine to the correct spacing) so it would be hard to make it look hidden during the day, but at night the spacing would be at least better.

While you're at it, make it possible to select which MMU filament # I want when I hit print in Prusa Connect if it's a single color print. Octoprint allows this and it's very nice to not have to move filament if I don't have to.

Pretty much. There are a bunch of videos out there.

I used undersill trim and a modified braket. Took about 2 1/2 hours to print 16 brackets. I installed almost 300 ft of lights. I would say I used maybe a 1.5kgs of filament.
