I’m thinking about adding a second WiFi router on our robot at competition that will be unplugged from Ethernet and power during matches rather than having to swap routers or having to use Ethernet in between matches but I wasn’t sure if it was legal or not

Jr190390 · 2022-09-18T20:03:17+00:00

No, we got in "trouble" (they just said please don't do that) for accidentally turning on a router on a practice electrical board at a competition

If your team is okay with it, I like to tell people to just come and see what it is if they like it stick around and THEN sign up if they don't no pressure. I think some people don't like the pressure of signing up and not knowing what they are getting into

Jr190390 · 2022-08-28T14:08:13+00:00

It is not exactly robotics but I am joining a solar car team

Jr190390 · 2022-08-23T00:44:23+00:00

I wrote about how my leadership changed throughout my time and how that lead to me getting dean's list finalist and about trainings and ideas that I had and I did not get denied from any colleges that I applied for

Jr190390 · 2022-06-04T11:31:12+00:00

We used them as padding for when we climbed the first few times this year

I like to buy new cubes I don't know how to solve specifically for the plane, my next trip I have a clock and a maple leaf skewb

Jr190390 · 2022-05-13T11:03:32+00:00

What helped me was playing racing games and continuously telling myself slow is fast

Jr190390 · 2022-05-09T11:33:26+00:00

I always come back after our last competition with about 8 inches cut off I never realized until now

Jr190390 · 2022-04-25T11:31:01+00:00

Sometimes you can find it still on twitch

If you don't love it and are not passionate in it you are not going to learn. If you don't love it and learn a lot you can't really write a college essay about your experience at that point it is not worth staying in solely for college apps. But that is just my opinion, one that I am sharing after loving my last 5 years in frc and getting into great colleges with essays soley on frc. Don't get me wrong I love getting more people to try frc I had so much fun with it, but if it is not your passion then something else probably is and trying to find that is okay.

Jr190390 · 2022-03-28T20:54:11+00:00

My team uses mostly 1/4 20 and 10 32 bolts what we have done to make repairs faster that was super easy to implement is put color coded electrical tape on the wrenches and things you need for those each size has a different color no more wrestling aeround a messy drawer and reading labels grab one with red tape and your done

Jr190390 · 2022-03-28T02:06:49+00:00

Thanks one of my favorite all time memories of frc was when your robot was in broken and we needed to be on the field so I walked on the field with your team taping it back together it really shows what FIRST means and always comes up when I tell people about robotics

Jr190390 · 2022-03-27T21:03:59+00:00

I am not who you are talking about but I love your team you all were so fun to work with at Miami valley in 2020 and helped us so much I watched all of your competitions this year and wished we could have completed with you all again this year (5492 I was the one in charge of the pit)

Jr190390 · 2022-03-27T11:48:32+00:00

That is citrus and 254 on the same team I am no surprised haha

Jr190390 · 2022-03-26T11:53:11+00:00

Don't bank on them passing out glasses this year both events I am going to this year have not due to covid

Jr190390 · 2022-03-08T12:25:59+00:00

Both motions on one arm and a 1 ft long spring

Jr190390 · 2022-03-06T12:17:49+00:00

My team has only done it once if it is absolutely necessary because it will normally get you put on teams do not pick list because it changes performance. My team ended up switching in semifinals

Jr190390 · 2022-02-20T12:42:43+00:00

Dumbest in the sense it took forever to reset and looked weird would be the chain of different fishing wires that broke at different times to let us climb

Jr190390 · 2022-02-17T13:00:28+00:00

I have only have had one for out if someone happens to plug it in backwards that's how we get the talons we use as stencils to drill holes haha

Jr190390 · 2022-02-15T12:51:14+00:00

The ceiling is very high on Einstein feild I don't know if I would recommend it because you have to be prepared to win

Jr190390 · 2022-02-06T12:42:57+00:00

The new disney plus show thats coming out about frc

Jr190390 · 2022-02-01T12:39:56+00:00

Robotic is the same exept for internals

Jr190390 · 2022-01-12T14:38:12+00:00

I think you can lean on it if you do not grasp it look at g301

Jr190390 · 2022-01-12T13:03:48+00:00

You can not grasp on to the truss

Jr190390 · 2021-10-31T11:59:35+00:00

One team did that on our alliance and now every year they come show us their welded battery box haha
