Mod logs say Saucey was muted for saying the n-word.

where can you see the mod logs?

You need to be a moderator. SKBT mods the Real Robotics section, as does every Roboteer user.

Nothing ever goes on in that section so I never have to do anything...

Sound like a job for the TROLL PATROL!

You're so lucky. I waited 7 years for an hour of patronizing simple robotics with no fighting, seven whole years and it was due to come any day soon. I asked my teacher and she said "Cancelled this year because we don't think many people will like it but we'll be doing it next year."

SQA results yesterday, meaning I finally go to college soon.
 
Sadly, I didn't get the higher I wanted, but I got the higher I needed.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

I remember my experience with Lego FIRST robotics in middle school.


>Guys if we set up a simple tank steering style drive train it will be able to make sharper turns because it will have no steering radius.
>SHUT UP KID NO ONE THINKS YOU'RE SMART YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ROBOTS IF TANK STEERING WAS BETTER HOW COME CARS DON'T USE IT
>They build a car steering system
>it's totally off balance
>it falls over on the first challenge run


Way to go five star school.

FIRST is the biggest joke in competitive robotics. Any competition that expects spectators to dance the chicken dance and to Cotton Eye Joe can't be taken seriously.

It's also my fault that they don't allow any defensive play anymore...

AHA!  I knew I couldn't be the only one who thinks so.  Bunch of hippy-dippy "nobody loses" nonsense is what's going to implode the world when Generation Y is running the show.  What exactly is "defensive play"?

Disrupting the flow of the game, not playing in the "spirit" of the game, pinning other robots, pretending it's a battlebot, trying to damage other robots, ect...

See above.

I drove in the 2011 season. My teams robot didnt work right so i drove it like a pushybot and caused havoc and took 2nd place with it. Dean Kamen, the guy who founded FIRST told me he didn't like how I drove and the next year the rules completely outlawed everything I did.

No! Stop having too much fun! Winning isn't fair you're disrupting the fun! This isn't what fun is supposed to be about!

EDIT: Are there any videos of this madness?

I know, right? I'll just stick with Kit Car building until such an opportunity arises for me.

Well, that sucks. If I could locate them, it'd be fun to send the original five House Robots in there to show them how it's done   XD

What's your robot's name?  Any robot that forces a change in the rules deserves a laurel. Like Son of Whyachi and its shuffler, or Nightmare forcing them to put a roof on the Battlebox.  And I second the plea for videos of thsi event.
