You scoff, but when we (temporarily) had our batteries closer to the middle of our robot, we had to be careful not to tip when picking up a mobile goal with a large stack on it. When the batteries found their permanent home as far back on our robot as possible, the problem went away. Battery placement is an important design decision, since the batteries are so heavy.

“Hey, can you lick this battery to see if it’s working?”

“Hey, can you hand me the crowned nuts?” “WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT’S NOT WHAT THEY’RE CALLED?”

Me earlier: forgets to upload new code instead of mess around code
It’s actually common practice to hold motors together with zipties, it makes it really easy to replace gears, or the whole motor if needed.
I’ve always wondered why some teams had zipties on their motors. I didn’t know it was because they had no screws holding it together…
I’ve never seen that but it doesn’t suprise me
¨Why is every team around us good and we are so bad?¨
¨ Wheres the magnet!!!¨
So we were just having a normal meeting after school, talking away as we do, when all of a sudden one of my teammates asks another,“Do you like bread?” The other teammate replies,“I decline to answer that.” I’m assuming it’s because he thought it was some sort of joke or something. Funny thing was that he was just straight up asking him if he likes bread.

so true for our last competition
Where’s the controller? (lost twice in less than 1 hour at State last year)
stop…stop…stop…stop…STOP!!!
What changed?
Its the batteries
We’re going to make a light fast robot, start early, practice more…
When can I get my garage back?

But @Akira were you at the tournament at WFHS on November 11? I noticed you go to SFMS. Or maybe even you were at the GA Tech day, there were some south Forsyth people there too
Maybe…
