What is the worst advice you could give?

Everybody in your school forgets battery chargers, so you have to alternate using that one battery that’s not dead.

Don’t mark which battery is yours, just start a brawl with the other teams over the batteries.

Don’t make an engineering notebook, it’s just such a hassle.

Don’t check your ports when you have a 20 minute break sitting next to the robot before the match when you are trying to upset the best team in the state to go to the quarterfinals (and Worlds). Then watch as your robot sits in the match for one minute before you are allowed to push the disconnected wire in… That was an embarrassing match, because we got a good partner and could have won; as a first year team we would have loved that.

its ok to steal bots. just make sure everyone knows u took it

always be afraid of rebuilding a badly designed robot. besides it takes too much time

Procrastinate.

Along these lines, always decline everyone. You only want to be an alliance captain. You are too good to be chosen.

Wait but then doesnt that technically make it “forceful borrowing” ?

write all of your engineering notebook entries in 15th century cursive

Write it in that script but upside down and backwards

Jokes aside, all modern Engineering Notebooks and Journals are direct descendants of Leonardo da Vinci’s legendary notebooks

RECF owes the man honorary Inspiration, Design, and Excellence awards, lol

Ouch.

that is a wonderful sight fir the judges at a comp

Does that mean we have to write from right to left like good ol’ Leo?

Speculation is that he wrote right to left because he was left-handed and didn’t want to smudge the ink all the time…so only lefties need to write in their notebooks using a mirror…

Yeah totally, JUDGES AWARD!!!

Your drive train doesn’t actually need motors, that’s just a myth. People with 4 motor drive trains are just wasting motors.

Saying that on the forum is like walking in a bar and trying to pick a fight. 4 motor drive people are very protective
