The real reason why people doing robotics never get girlfriends/boyfriends

“accidentally”

You can put “Participated in VEX Robotics Competition” on your CV or resume or whatever it’s called, but not “got a girlfriend/boyfriend”

My excuse is always “A girlfriend won’t get me scholarships”

I think going to a robotics comp is objectively superior, who knows, you might meet someone you like there…

In a nutshell you can’t win a robotics comp by being at a school dance, but you could possibly get a boyfriend / girlfriend (depending on your preference ofc) by being at a robotics comp

Next year VEX will be thrilled to sell you their new FPGA enabled V5ooo brain with 300GB of RAM to handle the natural language neural net programming.

It will be a must to have in order to win the trophy next season.

But the team programmer will be replaced by the position of the prompt engineer, who will spend half of the season convincing your robot that you are not playing battle bots and it is ok to drive out from the home corner of the field onto the neutral tiles.

what is the purpose of those things anyways?

But why would you actually need something like that?? lol

If you can’t get a wrench in somewhere to tighten a screw/nut this thing will save you like a good 5 minutes of struggling

They predicted it before vex and First robotics were separated and before Tilden would even think of doing robotics.

I’m pretty sure this was probably scripted, so I fail to comprehend how he (or someone else) wrote that down, looked at it, and was like “yeah that’s perfectly okay, I see absolutely no problems with this whatsoever”.

Regarding this… He said it again at MS lol.

just make up the results yourself. Will probably do better than that website anyways
“Dan Mantz accidentally falls into some gigantic gears”

but who do we employ for making up results? since we’re probably all gonna be biased…

Well we could use the hunger games website, but change the names and the deaths.

This is unrealistic i would never get a kill irl

Not only did you take over the Hunger Games hosting from FRC973, you also killed him off…

Ah, I think we’ve seen how this one plays out before…

Ayyyyy, I made it into the hunger games this year

I did a small stupid. Apparently if you leave the simulator open for prolonged periods of time it forgets everything. So here is day 1 and 2 of the new game.

Vex forum mods didn’t approve this post

I just want to say that I have serious safety concerns regarding the new vex iq pneumatics. I don’t believe that I would ever purchase this product for such a reason. It is a well established fact that colored pneumatic tubing (blue in this scenario) is less safe then black pneumatic tubing. I can’t believe that vex would use blue pneumatic tubing instead of black tubing when black tubing is simply a safer option with no downsides.

Randomly came across this on vf…

Screenshot 2023-06-16 9.06.14 AM795×445 78.3 KB

Its just vex censoring criticism againat them.
Again

Unpopular opinion here, but I kinda see why vex doesn’t allow colored tubing, because there’s no way for them to regulate whether or not third party tubing is actually rated for 100psi, and vex doesn’t want robot’s exploding mid match (also they want more money). however, I don’t get why we haven’t at least gotten red tubing as that is the color for the newer line of parts.

Problem is, teams just buy black third party tubing for 1/10 the price.

As a previous VF mod, I will say that they most likely didn’t approve it because the safety concerns, not the snark about color.
No need to cause a stir about safety when safety is not at all an issue (can confirm, worked there when IQ pneumatics were in development and the engineer who designed it is one of my best friends)

It’s a lot easier to investigate all the black pneumatic tubing from 3rd party resellers than it is to investigate all colors of pneumatic tubing from all resellers.

Was more just pointing out the fact that GDC made colored tubing illegal for VRC based solely on the argument that different colors were potentially less safe.
