i have no idea what you mean- pls give me an example. WIth all due respect, i am not the one who led this topic astray. I was literally talking abt equations and the speed of a robot. Not sure how that links to crossing guidelines… nothing here was chit-chat
not an opinion- it is actually very true- i read about it
Gear ratios more pure math than science. If you actually want to learn, you can complain, but five emoji at the end doesn’t seem related to the speed of the robot.
No one asked if you were a “mathematical god”, only further derailing the conversation. Granted, I feel the swerve drive joke was out of place when you seem really confuzzled at times, but life is more than basic algebra.
Equations are equations. Physics is the application of math equations to help estimate real-world properties. Sure, you will not be dealing with planetary gears in VEX IQ, but gear ratios are just that - “ratios”. If you haven’t learned that yet, essentially have the motor connected to a big gear and have that big gear spin a smaller gear, and attach the wheel to the smaller gear. If you don’t want to wander into “physics equations”, I won’t explain why that leads to a faster RPM, but you’re going to be missing out on part of the engineering process.
Context when one person mentioned that RobotC allowed for 8 slots on IQ while VEXCode only had 4:
They were already talking about file size being some contributor. I’m assuming you incorrectly assumed “slots” meant places to plug in ports, not “slots” as the number of different programs you can upload on the brain. If you want help or want to give help, you’ll need more than one-line zingers that don’t help us know the problem you’re facing. I’m sure @technik3k will phrase this more eloquently than I, but you need to make us understand your problem better without complaining if you need help.
Also, get used to a little tangentially-related talk on the forums.
In the majority of schools there are two distinct environments - one is inside the classroom, where students are expected to follow some structure and rules, and another is outside of the classroom (think recess) where rules are few and kids can relax and enjoy free play.
Those environments are separated by space and time to make it easier for students to switch their brains between formal and informal modes.
Vexforum is, basically, trying to mimic those distinct environments with technical channels being like classrooms and Chit-Chat / Rumor Mill being a never ending recess. 
The unwritten rule is that in technical channels students are expected to follow more professional conversation style - this will give them a lot of benefits in the future, if they could learn and practice how to do it here and now.
However, when people try to take conversations outside of Chit-Chat / Rumor Mill channel, into an unprofessional territory - they waste time of all other students, mentors, and vexforum moderators.
It is akin to disrupting classes in the real school and you must be familiar with disciplinary actions that teachers apply in such cases.
By saying that it not a chat server, I mean that instead of posting multiple small messages with bad grammar you should try to write a single longer message that adheres to more formal grammar rules.
But if you prefer to write lots of small messages that are incomplete sentences, have plenty of bad grammar, and over the top emojis, you are still welcome to do so in closed discord channels, private message threads or, in some exceptional cases, in the Chit-Chat / Rumor Mill topics, as long as your peers find it non-disruptive, funny, and appropriate.
I believe, the original question was answered in post#2 by @calvc01 and later clarified in post#4 by @TimmyOsborne and then it was your post, which started to drive the conversation off topic:
@Banjo2rise, it is not personal. As I have told you in PM before making this public post, you are risking getting silenced or banned. And from what you were telling me in PM, I don’t believe you are listening:
We had this type of disruptions before and have heard from users with very similar attitudes - it is better to have this unpleasant conversation now, before things start getting out of hand.
If you genuinely want to participate in vex and earn respect from other users, you need to make an attempt to listen and understand the rules. Please, ask a parent if necessary - they may be able to explain it better.
+1
im sorrry but i was clearly just stating the fact that i do not like science- stop making a big deal out of nothing
could u pls chill out and stop judging my every move…
Ok let’s calm down a little
i agree-lets just stop arguing bc at the end of the day its just gonna be back and forth
can i delete the topic
You can’t since you aren’t a mod
This is the second topic that it looks like I have to close this week due to off topic posts by @Banjo2rise. Consider this a final warning, adhere to the guidelines that @technik3k has been suggesting for you or the mods will take further action.
