I can’t stop working- gravity latch doesn’t slide perfectly? Undo every nylock and file it. The holidays as a captain are the worst. The team asks you to take the robot home, and you just can’t stop making it better…
Atleast I’m still better than @Barin. That keeps me going everyday.
Here’s your preload guys.
(They shove it in the back of their robot as an “anti tip” mechanism)
ACP 
ACP ENGINEERING. CANT MAKE A BASIC ANTI TIP? Bug your sister team(us) until they jokingly tell you to strap a star on it. AND THEY DO. Worst part is it works 
When your winter break schedule revolves around Robotics [me], and you find yourself programming your robot without even having access to it…
And then being handily beaten by none other than the sister team that can’t be bothered to build a robot until the last minute, let alone program it…*
*Just speculation at this point; post will be updated to reflect the true state of affairs
yo i sent the photos barn. Update that post LMAO
What I do everyday.
I’ve pretty much rebuilt our robot over the break. Stayed up till 4 am this morning programming. That was six hours straight then I woke up at 12 and worked on it until 4. Thats 10 hours total but on the bright side, I’m almost done!
As a captain in the holidays with nothing better to do:
*This is my robot. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My robot is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my robot is useless. Without my robot, I am useless. I must build my robot true. I must drive straighter than my enemy who is trying to outscore me. I must outscore him before he outscores me. I will…
My robot and I know that what counts in-game is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the points that count. We will score…
My robot is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its drivetrain and its software. I will keep my robot clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will…
Before Karthik, I swear this creed. My robot and I are the defenders of my team. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is ours and there is no enemy, but peace!*
I think you meant to say that you are a robot, as many of us ( @Aponthis ) on this forum are prone to being…

Hi I’m Cody,
I was sober for two years but then someone posted in my Holonomic thread and I couldn’t believe how crappy my old code was so I had to make a new account and post a better version.
Haven’t been able to shake it since.
Recently things took a turn for the worst, I was looped back into FIRST when my college decided to host their first ever FLL tournament. That spiraled into me inventing a new way of doing A/V and deploying it at the state level. Now everyone wants me doing this for pretty much all the Colorado FIRST events…
