1
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:03,510
so

2
00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,640
today we begin our ultimate ascent a

3
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:46,799
collective climb to new heights new

4
00:01:51,109 --> 00:01:49,280
experiences and new opportunities before

5
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:51,119
we launch into the intensity of the

6
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:53,040
build season take a moment and look

7
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,439
around and appreciate the rare chance to

8
00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:57,920
work side by side with a group of very

9
00:02:02,550 --> 00:01:59,680
special people who are focused on the

10
00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:02,560
future your future the secret of first

11
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:04,079
is not the game

12
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:06,399
and it's not the robots the secret at

13
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:08,720
first lies in the positive collaborative

14
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:11,280
culture fueled by all the spectacular

15
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,760
mentors we have here today and our many

16
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:15,599
incredible sponsors

17
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:17,760
thank you all we'll be back in a minute

18
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:20,640
but now meet the mcs from last year's

19
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:23,360
chairman award winning team 1114 the

20
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:26,480
symbotics from st catharines in ontario

21
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,560
brittany shaw and greg robinson

22
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:32,480
thanks dean and woody we're completely

23
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:35,120
pumped to be here being on the symbolics

24
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:36,800
we learned firsthand the power of being

25
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:38,800
part of a team and we're so grateful to

26
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:40,319
being part of first part of something

27
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,000
bigger than ourselves that's what this

28
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:44,319
year's first kickoff is all about

29
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:45,920
we're proud to be representing the

30
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:48,000
symbolics who won the chairman's award

31
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:49,680
here's what it looked like in st louis

32
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:51,920
at the championship last year it was

33
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:53,920
amazing

34
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:55,680
this might be the best part of being

35
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,760
chairman of first

36
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,280
actually it is the best part of being

37
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:01,280
german at first

38
00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:02,560
and there are a lot of great things

39
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:04,560
about being chairman of first

40
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,200
the chairman's award his first most

41
00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:09,360
prestigious award

42
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,840
period the chairman's award has been a

43
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:13,760
culmination of 10 years of hard work for

44
00:03:18,149 --> 00:03:16,239
our team so for us to hear our name i i

45
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:18,159
didn't even know what to do how to react

46
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:20,560
it was a rush of emotion of happiness

47
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:22,800
but at the same time tears were flowing

48
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:24,319
i just wanted to find the nearest

49
00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:26,480
teammate one all the students i mentored

50
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:28,239
just hug them all it was absolutely

51
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:30,000
amazing we've worked so hard towards

52
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:31,680
this award and

53
00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:32,400
just

54
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:34,319
a great experience you put your heart

55
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:37,120
into this and you can achieve anything

56
00:03:40,589 --> 00:03:39,280
well congratulations to all of you we're

57
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:40,599
here at that

58
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:42,480
2012

59
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:45,599
frc finals with the

60
00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:48,000
chairman's award winners how does it

61
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:49,200
feel

62
00:03:53,429 --> 00:03:50,480
awesome

63
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:53,439
you exemplify

64
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,040
with your mentors

65
00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:57,200
and your coaches and your sponsors the

66
00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:01,360
epitome of what first is trying to do

67
00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:03,280
the greatest part of a first competition

68
00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:04,879
is working hard with your team

69
00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:06,480
committing to solving problems together

70
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:08,319
and making it all work it's about the

71
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:10,400
team belonging to the larger community

72
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:12,560
that's what makes first unique talking

73
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:14,560
about the larger community blair was

74
00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:21,909
clearly i took a wrong turn

75
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:24,479
don't let this happen to you make sure

76
00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:26,320
you use the correct zip code on your

77
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:27,680
robot crate

78
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:31,680
fedex bring me home

79
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:34,400
hi i'm lisa daniel and i have a cool job

80
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,759
at fedex

81
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:37,520
we handle all the donated shipping for

82
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:40,160
the company and first robotics is the

83
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:41,759
second largest program that we're

84
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,360
involved with

85
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:45,440
we've had a long relationship with first

86
00:04:50,469 --> 00:04:47,840
robotics starting with our chairman fred

87
00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:50,479
smith being approached by dean kamen at

88
00:04:55,909 --> 00:04:54,080
the very beginning of the program

89
00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:55,919
we salute the young people that are

90
00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:58,639
involved with science and technology and

91
00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:01,360
we celebrate our future heroes

92
00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:03,520
we are proud to be a part of the new

93
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:05,199
cool

94
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:06,880
and now here's a guy who travels the

95
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:09,360
world for first and knows no boundaries

96
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:11,759
dean

97
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:13,600
as a kid

98
00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:15,280
pretty early probably at the beginning

99
00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:18,560
of my high school years the intersection

100
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:19,440
of

101
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:22,840
my interest in how the world works

102
00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:25,199
physics math

103
00:05:27,909 --> 00:05:26,000
and

104
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:27,919
how to how does stuff work how do

105
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,360
products work

106
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:32,000
and the idea that i wanted to make money

107
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:34,000
and didn't want to spend all summer

108
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:35,840
mowing lawns

109
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,880
could i create some technology

110
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:40,720
that would be valuable enough that after

111
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:43,360
i spent my time and my money making it

112
00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:44,960
that if i sold it to people i'd make a

113
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:47,759
profit i realized if i could build

114
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:50,080
little boxes with little amplifiers that

115
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:51,840
i could sell to local bands and other

116
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,199
kids that wanted

117
00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:55,360
light shows

118
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:58,400
i could put these things together

119
00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:01,280
for a few bucks by the end of the summer

120
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:03,680
i was selling enough of these boxes that

121
00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,560
i was making many thousands of dollars

122
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:08,479
and that's in a day when

123
00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:10,479
a good summer job would give you 40 or

124
00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:12,560
50 bucks a week

125
00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:14,960
my mentors my father

126
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:17,199
who told me find something you love to

127
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:20,000
do and do it really well if you do it in

128
00:06:24,629 --> 00:06:22,479
a better way than anybody else has

129
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,639
the world will pay you for it it's a

130
00:06:30,710 --> 00:06:26,800
win-win it's a win-win-win the world

131
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:32,790
you get to do something you love

132
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:34,160
and you make a living and make a lot of

133
00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:35,680
money

134
00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:38,479
my older brother was a mentor of mine

135
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:40,400
math and science are hard to learn for

136
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:41,680
everybody

137
00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:44,240
but he convinced me it's worth doing

138
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:47,199
he convinced me that if i stayed with it

139
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:49,120
it would be valuable to me and i could

140
00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:50,400
become

141
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:52,000
somebody that delivers valuable

142
00:06:57,029 --> 00:06:54,880
solutions to the world and i ended up

143
00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,039
developing a lot of those solutions so

144
00:07:01,110 --> 00:06:59,360
that he could do his research that he

145
00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:01,120
could deliver therapies

146
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:03,840
my brother's a pediatric oncologist a

147
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:05,360
cancer specialist

148
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,240
fortunately very very few babies are

149
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:10,400
born with cancer so we were building all

150
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:12,880
these special pumps because it's a very

151
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:15,280
limited market but suddenly we were

152
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,840
given the opportunity to make some

153
00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:19,440
relatively small changes in the

154
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:21,039
engineering of these little pumps and

155
00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:22,720
deliver insulin

156
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:23,599
and

157
00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:25,840
unlike pediatric

158
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:26,960
cancer

159
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:29,039
the need for insulin is at the other

160
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:31,360
extreme it's probably the most common

161
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:35,039
drug delivered for chronic treatment of

162
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:35,919
a

163
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,240
of course my brother

164
00:07:56,830 --> 00:07:54,400
gave me the confidence

165
00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:56,840
to work hard at science and

166
00:08:01,909 --> 00:07:59,520
technology i hope that a whole

167
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:01,919
generation of kids in this country

168
00:08:06,309 --> 00:08:04,160
are going to learn from their mentors

169
00:08:09,029 --> 00:08:06,319
the way i learned from my brother

170
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:09,039
that hard work and focused effort on

171
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:10,879
things that may seem a little difficult

172
00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:12,800
and daunting to do

173
00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:13,840
can

174
00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:15,599
give you career options that are so

175
00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:18,479
exciting you'll see it was worth it

176
00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:20,639
we've been working on a water project

177
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:23,199
now for 15 years

178
00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:24,080
but

179
00:08:29,589 --> 00:08:27,120
since lack of access to clean water is

180
00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:29,599
the number one health problem in the

181
00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:30,479
world

182
00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:33,039
it kills more than two million people a

183
00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:35,680
year mostly kids under five years old to

184
00:08:40,709 --> 00:08:38,399
not have clean water we thought 15 years

185
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:40,719
is a small price to pay next year we

186
00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:43,200
could be producing and delivering a

187
00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:47,360
billion liters of water clean safe water

188
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:49,360
when we packaged up this solution to

189
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:52,880
turn any water into pure water

190
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:55,360
and delivered it as a real

191
00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:57,680
engineering solution to a horrible

192
00:09:02,630 --> 00:08:58,959
problem

193
00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:02,640
and we got video back of kids in ghana

194
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:04,640
drinking water that was just

195
00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:07,360
gushing out of these little

196
00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:09,279
slingshot machines

197
00:09:13,590 --> 00:09:11,920
everybody at deca just sat there

198
00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:13,600
and looked at this

199
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:15,120
and realized

200
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:17,680
the 15 years was worth it

201
00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:20,320
education is about the most valuable

202
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:24,320
thing anybody can invest their time in

203
00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:25,920
it comes in many different forms and

204
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:27,839
some people

205
00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:29,680
it's a phd

206
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:33,279
for some people they've spent their life

207
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:35,760
like as my father did

208
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:38,560
learning to draw and to create

209
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:40,160
education comes in a lot of different

210
00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:41,120
forms

211
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:43,839
it's very personal the only way to do it

212
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,320
well is to spend a lot of time at it

213
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:48,160
but i realize the bigger problem in this

214
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:50,560
country isn't that nobody has access to

215
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,080
science and technology the bigger

216
00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:54,640
problem is that kids are enormously

217
00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:56,160
distracted

218
00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:59,279
if i could just somehow

219
00:10:05,670 --> 00:10:01,200
ignite a little interest in kids that

220
00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:05,680
might not otherwise think about it in

221
00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:07,519
understanding the world

222
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:09,360
understanding science understanding

223
00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:12,480
mathematics understanding technology

224
00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:13,920
we need

225
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:16,880
kids to understand at an early age

226
00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:18,399
that they should be putting as much

227
00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:20,800
passion and as much energy into becoming

228
00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:22,959
good at thinking and problem solving and

229
00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:24,959
embracing science and mathematics and

230
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:26,959
engineering as they are willing to put

231
00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:28,880
all their time and effort and energy

232
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:32,079
into becoming good at some sports why

233
00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:33,279
don't we take

234
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:36,640
all the trappings of sports

235
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:39,920
and wrap them around the sport

236
00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:41,200
that will build the muscle hanging

237
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,720
between their ears

238
00:10:47,430 --> 00:10:44,640
and what if we could make

239
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:47,440
a sport more attractive and more

240
00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:49,120
appealing to more kids than the other

241
00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:52,079
things they do it's the sport where

242
00:10:57,110 --> 00:10:53,519
one of the things they learn is how the

243
00:11:02,230 --> 00:10:57,120
world works the rules

244
00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:02,240
and we might create the next kid that

245
00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:05,120
does something unbelievable

246
00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:07,519
while i have you one more thing i have

247
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:09,440
to remind you about another one of our

248
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:12,240
bright ideas at first the led light

249
00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:14,720
bulbs thanks to the partnership with

250
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:17,839
google we were able to have teams raise

251
00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:20,399
over a million dollars

252
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:22,320
selling these bulbs over the last couple

253
00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:25,200
of years and with our continuing support

254
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:27,440
from google the cost of the bulbs is

255
00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:29,120
even lower this year

256
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:31,680
get out and sell the bulbs you'll raise

257
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:34,079
money for your teams you'll get more

258
00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:36,240
community awareness for first and you'll

259
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:38,720
help the environment thanks to google

260
00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:41,279
thanks for the teams let's do it one of

261
00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:42,880
the most powerful things about first is

262
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:44,640
that it doesn't matter how old you are

263
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,160
from elementary school through high

264
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:48,800
school and beyond first is there for us

265
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:51,040
it's the sponsors volunteers and mentors

266
00:11:55,509 --> 00:11:52,800
that make it possible for each and every

267
00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:55,519
one of us of any age to come on board

268
00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:57,279
first prepares us to be world-class

269
00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:59,440
citizens at every level by providing a

270
00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:01,120
passionate supportive and caring

271
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:02,800
community helping create these

272
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:04,639
opportunities for all of us are kickoff

273
00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:08,160
sponsors ptc and nasa

274
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:10,399
thank you brittany and craig

275
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:12,160
one of the things i like most about

276
00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:14,560
first is the transformation that each of

277
00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:16,560
you will experience this year

278
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:20,320
you'll create innovate build and compete

279
00:12:24,629 --> 00:12:22,240
you'll grow by strengthening your real

280
00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:24,639
world engineering know-how

281
00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:26,880
you'll transform yourself into someone

282
00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:29,279
that colleges will want to enroll and

283
00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:32,079
into someone that our 27 000 customers

284
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:34,000
will want to employ

285
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:36,320
at ptc we're proud to be part of your

286
00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:38,639
transformation and to be a strategic

287
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:29,430
so

288
00:13:41,189 --> 00:13:40,150
hi i'm john grunsfeld head of science at

289
00:13:42,949 --> 00:13:41,199
nasa

290
00:13:45,030 --> 00:13:42,959
i've had the privilege of flying five

291
00:13:46,710 --> 00:13:45,040
times on the space shuttle including

292
00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:46,720
three flights to service the hubble

293
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:48,399
space telescope

294
00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:50,160
i congratulate all of you for

295
00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:51,760
participating in this year's first

296
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:53,680
robotics competition

297
00:13:58,389 --> 00:13:56,240
teamwork is the best formula for success

298
00:13:59,350 --> 00:13:58,399
and this competition is more than just a

299
00:14:00,949 --> 00:13:59,360
game

300
00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:00,959
this experience will highlight what you

301
00:14:06,069 --> 00:14:02,480
will encounter in science and technical

302
00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:06,079
careers engineering design construction

303
00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:08,320
real deadlines and of course working in

304
00:14:11,509 --> 00:14:09,600
teams

305
00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:11,519
this competition will also be similar in

306
00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:13,680
many ways to how we design built and

307
00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:16,480
tested the nasa mars curiosity rover now

308
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:18,800
exploring on the red planet

309
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:20,000
being part of a team that builds

310
00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:22,000
something like curiosity takes the same

311
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:23,760
kind of ingenuity and creative problem

312
00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:26,160
solving that you will face in designing

313
00:14:29,110 --> 00:14:27,839
your robots to face this year's

314
00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:29,120
challenge

315
00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:30,560
nasa looks forward to seeing the

316
00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:32,560
innovative solutions you develop and

317
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:34,720
seeing how your creativity might help

318
00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:36,240
inspire development of our future

319
00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:38,000
spacecraft systems

320
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:41,279
good luck work hard and above all have

321
00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:42,959
fun

322
00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:45,120
we understand chief robot inspector al

323
00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:47,040
skirkowicz had some early exposure to

324
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:48,880
the rules of this year's game and we

325
00:14:51,189 --> 00:14:50,560
want to know what his first impression

326
00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:51,199
is

327
00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:53,279
al your thoughts

328
00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:54,880
yeah we've been working really really

329
00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:57,279
hard on the robot rules this year look

330
00:15:03,030 --> 00:14:59,680
for some significant changes in the

331
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:03,040
bumper rules and the electrical rules

332
00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:04,560
we don't need this this year you can put

333
00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:06,240
it back in the warehouse we're shipping

334
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:08,639
this instead

335
00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:10,079
uh you guys weren't supposed to hear

336
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:12,480
that um back to you guys

337
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:15,120
thanks al that was interesting we're

338
00:15:18,389 --> 00:15:16,320
looking forward to figuring out what

339
00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:18,399
that was all about change is constant in

340
00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:20,480
frc but there are enduring life lessons

341
00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:22,000
all around and you don't have to look

342
00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:24,320
too hard woody is always reminding us

343
00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:28,240
what's important here's woody

344
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:29,360
let's talk about gracious

345
00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:31,120
professionalism

346
00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:33,440
in many ways it's the heart and the soul

347
00:15:37,110 --> 00:15:34,880
of first

348
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:37,120
simply put a big deal

349
00:15:42,069 --> 00:15:39,440
pay attention to the professor he's

350
00:15:44,870 --> 00:15:42,079
right when woody first used those words

351
00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,880
in the first first kickoff i said more

352
00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:46,639
and the first community has embraced

353
00:15:49,749 --> 00:15:48,880
gracious professionalism for over 20

354
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:49,759
years

355
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:52,560
thank you thank you thank you the term

356
00:15:57,189 --> 00:15:54,560
was coined to describe the behavior of a

357
00:16:00,629 --> 00:15:57,199
bunch of mit students who were competing

358
00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:00,639
like crazy but also helping each other

359
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:02,160
because of you

360
00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:04,560
that behavior has spread like wildfire

361
00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:07,440
throughout first nfl's senior solutions

362
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:09,440
challenge members of the electric

363
00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:11,680
pineapples liked the folks they met

364
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:13,279
while doing research at the fairfax

365
00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:14,880
nursing center

366
00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:16,880
they decided to become bingo game

367
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:18,800
helpers and to conduct fundraising

368
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:21,199
projects to buy holiday gifts for their

369
00:16:26,150 --> 00:16:22,800
new elderly friend

370
00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:26,160
ftc teams mash and the sprouts met

371
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:28,240
recently at the miss daisy ramp riot

372
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:30,000
competition the sprouts were there to

373
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:32,560
take notes about how to build a robot

374
00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:33,680
mash said

375
00:16:37,189 --> 00:16:36,160
let's just do it now so they worked

376
00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:37,199
together

377
00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:39,440
built a new robot and the two teams

378
00:16:44,550 --> 00:16:41,759
ended the day as the winning alliance in

379
00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:44,560
the finals at the 2009 greater kansas

380
00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:46,399
city frc regional

381
00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:48,480
after the robot had been unloaded for

382
00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:49,519
the event

383
00:16:55,030 --> 00:16:52,240
thieves stole panther robotics trailer

384
00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:55,040
with tools and important extra parts

385
00:16:59,430 --> 00:16:57,600
an expensive loss that could have ended

386
00:17:03,670 --> 00:16:59,440
the competition for them

387
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,680
but thanks to team 525 it was not over

388
00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:05,600
they heard what happened and gave the

389
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:08,000
panthers the balance of the gift cards

390
00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:09,760
donated to the kansas city regional

391
00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:12,640
teams over 20 other teams joined by

392
00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:15,439
donating their cards and some cash

393
00:17:20,069 --> 00:17:17,600
and mastercard upped the ante by

394
00:17:22,470 --> 00:17:20,079
replacing the donated cards

395
00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:22,480
i see lots of these examples every year

396
00:17:26,230 --> 00:17:24,079
at first

397
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:26,240
clearly gracious professionalism is

398
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:28,480
contrary to what is promoted by many

399
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:30,960
parts of our culture today

400
00:17:37,029 --> 00:17:34,960
it's nothing like reality tv or bullying

401
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:37,039
it's not about greed or ruthless

402
00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:38,400
competition

403
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:39,440
it is

404
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:41,280
sometimes really hard

405
00:17:46,870 --> 00:17:44,320
you gotta put we ahead of me

406
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:46,880
it is not sticky sweet or simple

407
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:48,880
and it's both from the heart and the

408
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:50,320
mind

409
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:53,039
it's sort of like wise kindness

410
00:17:57,590 --> 00:17:55,520
the gracious part has to do with empathy

411
00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:57,600
helping sympathy

412
00:18:01,110 --> 00:18:00,160
the professionalism part has to do with

413
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:01,120
knowledge

414
00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:03,520
wisdom judgment

415
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:05,520
gracious you probably know in your heart

416
00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:06,960
instinctively but

417
00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:09,440
note that it must not be confused with

418
00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:11,520
pity or condescension or believing

419
00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:14,559
yourself to be better than someone else

420
00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:17,200
so let's talk about professionalism when

421
00:18:21,110 --> 00:18:19,200
you learn something you likely did so

422
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:21,120
with the help of others

423
00:18:25,669 --> 00:18:23,440
the others may include your parents your

424
00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:25,679
friends your first competitors your

425
00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:26,960
teachers

426
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:29,520
but the others also include galileo

427
00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:32,160
einstein newton curie

428
00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:35,039
and also folks like jane goodall mahatma

429
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:38,240
gandhi abraham lincoln rachel carson the

430
00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:40,400
point is that our professional knowledge

431
00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:43,120
comes from the brilliance of others

432
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:44,880
we're all standing on the shoulders of

433
00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:46,160
giants

434
00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:48,960
and we owe others a lift

435
00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:50,960
with the privilege of knowing

436
00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:54,000
comes the responsibility of integrity

437
00:18:58,549 --> 00:18:56,720
society simply does not work unless

438
00:19:00,549 --> 00:18:58,559
people can trust those who have special

439
00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:00,559
knowledge if you're a physician you help

440
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:02,240
your patients if you're a parent you

441
00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:04,240
help your children if you're an engineer

442
00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:05,760
you make life better for the people

443
00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:08,000
using the things you produce

444
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:11,360
a professional is in a trusted position

445
00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:13,760
gracious professionals are simply good

446
00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:17,280
smart people doing good smart things and

447
00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:19,360
the benefit of gracious professionalism

448
00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:21,520
is shared between the giver and the

449
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:22,720
receiver

450
00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:24,880
obviously they both win

451
00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:27,360
when we do something nice for others

452
00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:29,760
the giver wins with a boost in rational

453
00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:31,280
self-esteem

454
00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:33,039
and here's a fact

455
00:19:37,750 --> 00:19:35,280
science is teaching us that the giver

456
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:37,760
also wins because our bodies release

457
00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:39,760
endorphins and other good stuff into the

458
00:19:43,029 --> 00:19:41,280
brain

459
00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:43,039
a third more subtle but important

460
00:19:47,590 --> 00:19:45,200
benefit is that through practicing

461
00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:47,600
gracious professionalism it becomes part

462
00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:49,840
of the way you define yourself

463
00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:52,880
if the gp habit gets started and moves

464
00:19:57,669 --> 00:19:55,360
into your subconscious it can be a major

465
00:19:59,990 --> 00:19:57,679
asset in everything you do in life it

466
00:20:03,029 --> 00:20:00,000
can be as important as being observant

467
00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:03,039
or curious or even creative

468
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:05,120
yet another important benefit is that

469
00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:06,799
being graciously professional will

470
00:20:11,350 --> 00:20:09,520
attract other gracious professionals

471
00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:11,360
that is the right crowd

472
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:13,679
for work play or any kind of life

473
00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:16,080
partnership you want to be with those

474
00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:16,960
folks

475
00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:18,960
i got hooked on first when i was four

476
00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:21,039
it's what my family does my older

477
00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:22,480
brothers were competitors and i was

478
00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:24,480
their team mascot a role i cherish to

479
00:20:28,149 --> 00:20:26,400
this day my brothers went off to college

480
00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:28,159
and the baton was handed to me when i

481
00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:30,080
was nine we had first lego league

482
00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:32,320
competitions in our basement then we got

483
00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:34,880
our school board to start an fll program

484
00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:37,200
i graduated to frc where my passion for

485
00:20:40,710 --> 00:20:39,280
engineering grew now i'm delighted to

486
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:40,720
say that i'm studying mechanical

487
00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:43,280
engineering first is the reason i'm here

488
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:45,200
engineering classes are not easy but my

489
00:20:48,549 --> 00:20:46,880
wonderful mentors have really given me a

490
00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:48,559
head start they taught me that i should

491
00:20:53,430 --> 00:20:50,880
aim to be a special kind of engineer but

492
00:20:55,669 --> 00:20:53,440
bu calls a societal engineer essentially

493
00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:55,679
a gracious professional i'm expected to

494
00:20:59,510 --> 00:20:57,679
make big positive impacts in the world

495
00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:59,520
that's why i joined this community

496
00:21:02,789 --> 00:21:01,039

556
00:23:06,070 --> 00:23:03,520
list students i remember very well the

557
00:23:09,669 --> 00:23:06,080
dean's list uh winner that came to yale

558
00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:09,679
in 2010 caitlyn mori and the

559
00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:11,520
the characteristics of leadership she

560
00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:13,840
showed both in the classroom in her

561
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:16,320
first team and in her community uh were

562
00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:17,600
some of the things that were we're

563
00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:19,840
looking for one of the real ethics in

564
00:23:24,070 --> 00:23:22,480
our student body is that students help

565
00:23:25,430 --> 00:23:24,080
each other and in fact they make each

566
00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:25,440
other better

567
00:23:30,549 --> 00:23:28,320
and that is of course one of the core

568
00:23:33,190 --> 00:23:30,559
values of first

569
00:23:36,470 --> 00:23:33,200
and it's embodied in

570
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:36,480
the dean's list finalists and winners

571
00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:38,960
because what you have done is make your

572
00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:40,880
teammates better i'm proud to say that

573
00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:42,720
our enrolling freshman class typically

574
00:23:47,669 --> 00:23:45,200
includes more than 10 percent students

575
00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:47,679
with first participation last year's

576
00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:49,600

577
00:23:57,909 --> 00:23:52,240
included three dean's list winners out

578
00:24:01,990 --> 00:24:00,390
teams honor your best and your brightest

579
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:02,000
by nominating them for the dean's list

580
00:24:06,149 --> 00:24:04,480
award and for college admissions it is

581
00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:06,159
best to honor juniors because as you

582
00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:08,080
just heard schools love dean's list

583
00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:10,640

584
00:24:15,190 --> 00:24:13,039
us especially the dean's list winners

585
00:24:18,149 --> 00:24:15,200
become active alumni

586
00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:18,159
what i like about the dean's list in

587
00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:20,480
selecting the students for the stainless

588
00:24:23,990 --> 00:24:23,039
the outreach going into the community

589
00:24:29,190 --> 00:24:24,000

00:24:58,149 --> 00:24:56,080
suggestions this season

601
00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:58,159
thank you to the 2013 suppliers your

602
00:25:01,669 --> 00:25:00,320
generosity is key to first the

603
00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:01,679
electronic component industry

604
00:25:04,789 --> 00:25:03,120
association has been helping their

605
00:25:06,870 --> 00:25:04,799
members donate individual components of

606
00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:06,880
the control system boards the supplier

607
00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:08,720
network is bigger than it's ever been

608
00:25:12,789 --> 00:25:10,640
the kit distribution model continues to

609
00:25:15,269 --> 00:25:12,799
evolve once again the kit is broken into

610
00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:15,279
three separate categories kickoff first

611
00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:17,600
choice and virtual until this year every

612
00:25:21,430 --> 00:25:19,440
team received a drive base as part of

613
00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:21,440
their kickoff kit but this year veteran

614
00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:23,200
teams were given an option they were

615
00:25:26,549 --> 00:25:24,799
able to choose between receiving the kit

616
00:25:29,909 --> 00:25:26,559
of parts drive system or a product

617
00:25:32,710 --> 00:25:29,919
donation voucher to andymark for 450

618
00:25:34,549 --> 00:25:32,720
nearly 700 teams chose the voucher

619
00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:34,559
we've added new items to the kickoff kit

620
00:25:39,590 --> 00:25:37,120
from 3m including a variety of adhesives

621
00:25:41,269 --> 00:25:39,600
electrical tape terminals and cabling

622
00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:41,279
we're continuing to add more items to

623
00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:42,960
first choice each year and moving some

624
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:44,880
of the less frequently used items from

625
00:25:49,350 --> 00:25:47,440
the kickoff kit to first choice for

626
00:25:51,830 --> 00:25:49,360
example this year all of the pneumatic

627
00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:51,840
components are in first choice also new

628
00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:54,000
this year first choice ordering open to

629
00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:56,080
registered and paid teams on december

630
00:25:59,110 --> 00:25:56,960
10th

631
00:26:00,710 --> 00:25:59,120
the virtual kit is also growing we have

632
00:26:01,590 --> 00:26:00,720
product donation vouchers in the kit

633
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:01,600
again

634
00:26:05,590 --> 00:26:03,840
most of the voucher codes are in tim

635
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:05,600
just like first choice a majority of

636
00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:07,360
these vouchers were available to teams

637
00:26:10,789 --> 00:26:08,880
on december 10th

638
00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:10,799
and for the first time there are now

639
00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:12,640
three distinct legal motor controllers

640
00:26:17,430 --> 00:26:15,840
for frc the jaguar victor and the new

641
00:26:19,269 --> 00:26:17,440
talon the talon comes from cross the

642
00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:19,279
road electronics it has the smallest

643
00:26:22,470 --> 00:26:21,200
footprint of all three and is the only

644
00:26:24,310 --> 00:26:22,480
one that's sealed

645
00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:24,320
the victor and jaguar are available this

646
00:26:28,070 --> 00:26:26,400
year from innovation first the victors

647
00:26:29,590 --> 00:26:28,080
have been in frc the longest but have

648
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:29,600
been upgraded this year to have a more

649
00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:31,200
linear response

650
00:26:35,669 --> 00:26:33,200
the jaguars are can capable and the

651
00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:35,679
boards inside are now conformal coated

652
00:26:39,430 --> 00:26:37,440
you won't receive any motor controllers

653
00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:39,440
in the black coat instead you'll receive

654
00:26:43,750 --> 00:26:41,120
a voucher which allows you to choose two

655
00:26:45,430 --> 00:26:43,760
victors or jaguars from innovation first

656
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:45,440
we're excited to offer two different

657
00:26:49,269 --> 00:26:47,600
types of simulations this year diamond

658
00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:49,279
bullet studios is backed to offer a

659
00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:51,520
virtual 2013 game to help you develop

660
00:26:54,310 --> 00:26:52,480
strategy

661
00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:54,320
in addition national instruments has

662
00:26:58,630 --> 00:26:56,320
developed a crio simulator to help

663
00:27:00,310 --> 00:26:58,640
programmers develop and test code no

664
00:27:02,630 --> 00:27:00,320
more waiting until week six to test your

665
00:27:04,470 --> 00:27:02,640
code the game manual and q a apps are

666
00:27:06,789 --> 00:27:04,480
updated and don't miss the field tour

667
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:06,799
videos on the frc manual page we're

668
00:27:52,789 --> 00:27:08,720
looking forward to a great season good

669
00:27:58,149 --> 00:27:55,430
welcome to the 2013 first robotics

670
00:28:00,230 --> 00:27:58,159
competition and this year's game

671
00:28:04,789 --> 00:28:00,240
ultimate ascent

672
00:28:07,029 --> 00:28:04,799
foot field

673
00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:07,039
alliances of three teams each operate

674
00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:09,039
their robots from behind alliance walls

675
00:28:13,269 --> 00:28:11,120
at the ends of the field

676
00:28:15,909 --> 00:28:13,279
four scoring goals are located in each

677
00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:15,919
alliance wall located at three different

678
00:28:19,510 --> 00:28:17,200
heights

679
00:28:22,310 --> 00:28:19,520
each alliance wall also has feeder

680
00:28:24,630 --> 00:28:22,320
stations located at the ends of the wall

681
00:28:26,549 --> 00:28:24,640
two large pyramids occupy the middle of

682
00:28:28,149 --> 00:28:26,559
the field about a third of the way from

683
00:28:30,149 --> 00:28:28,159
the alliance walls

684
00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:30,159
each pyramid has three rungs leading up

685
00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:32,480
to the top which can be climbed by the

686
00:28:35,510 --> 00:28:33,760
robots

687
00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:35,520
at the summit of the pyramid is an

688
00:28:39,909 --> 00:28:37,760
additional scoring goal

689
00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:39,919
ultimate ascent is played with standard

690
00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:42,640
flying discs of three different colors

691
00:28:47,430 --> 00:28:45,360
the objective is to score as many disks

692
00:28:49,510 --> 00:28:47,440
as possible in the goals at the far end

693
00:28:52,149 --> 00:28:49,520
of the field the harder the goal is to

694
00:28:53,990 --> 00:28:52,159
hit the more points it's worth

695
00:28:56,149 --> 00:28:54,000
robots can track the reflective vision

696
00:28:58,149 --> 00:28:56,159
targets around each goal allowing them

697
00:29:00,789 --> 00:28:58,159
to target goals from anywhere on the

698
00:29:02,789 --> 00:29:00,799
field the match begins with each robot

699
00:29:04,149 --> 00:29:02,799
in contact with the pyramid at the far

700
00:29:06,230 --> 00:29:04,159
end of the field

701
00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:06,240
robots can be pre-loaded with up to

702
00:29:11,269 --> 00:29:09,360
three discs each a 15 second autonomous

703
00:29:13,990 --> 00:29:11,279
period starts the match during the

704
00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:14,000
autonomous period robots can score disks

705
00:29:18,389 --> 00:29:16,720
using pre-programmed instructions every

706
00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:18,399
end goal scored during the autonomous

707
00:29:23,430 --> 00:29:21,360
period scores double points as a bonus

708
00:29:26,070 --> 00:29:23,440
at the end of this period human drivers

709
00:29:28,230 --> 00:29:26,080
step forward to take the controls as the

710
00:29:30,549 --> 00:29:28,240
tele-operated period starts teams

711
00:29:31,990 --> 00:29:30,559
command their robots to score as quickly

712
00:29:34,070 --> 00:29:32,000
as possible

713
00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:34,080
discs can be scored by throwing or

714
00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:36,720
placing them into the goals

715
00:29:40,389 --> 00:29:39,039
robots can hold up to four discs at one

716
00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:40,399
time

717
00:29:45,029 --> 00:29:42,399
after gathering discs they can try to

718
00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:45,039
score from anywhere on the field

719
00:29:49,029 --> 00:29:47,360
human players enter discs onto the field

720
00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:49,039
by passing them through slots in the

721
00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:51,840
feeder stations

722
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:54,080
robots in the loading zone are protected

723
00:29:58,950 --> 00:29:55,760
from interference by their opponents

724
00:30:01,190 --> 00:29:58,960
while they receive disks

725
00:30:03,350 --> 00:30:01,200
but robots not touching this safe zone

726
00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:03,360
have to deal with defending opponent

727
00:30:07,350 --> 00:30:05,279
robots

728
00:30:09,430 --> 00:30:07,360
near the end of the match human players

729
00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:09,440
can throw discs on the field and try to

730
00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:10,960
score

731
00:30:15,350 --> 00:30:13,200
at the same time robots drive to their

732
00:30:16,950 --> 00:30:15,360
pyramids and start to climb for bonus

733
00:30:20,710 --> 00:30:16,960
points

734
00:30:22,549 --> 00:30:20,720
they will receive

735
00:30:24,470 --> 00:30:22,559
robots can climb up the sides or the

736
00:30:26,470 --> 00:30:24,480
corners of the pyramid but they have to

737
00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:26,480
remain there as the game ends to collect

738
00:30:31,190 --> 00:30:29,200
their bonuses

739
00:30:40,870 --> 00:30:31,200
good luck and we'll see you at the

740
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:50,870
oh

741
00:31:08,389 --> 00:30:53,110
now here's the code

742
00:32:01,110 --> 00:31:35,190
do

743
00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:03,669
hi everybody back by popular demand i'm

744
00:32:07,430 --> 00:32:06,080
derek mechanical engineering manager

745
00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:07,440
and i'm matt electrical engineering

746
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:09,120
manager once again we are here to guide

747
00:32:12,470 --> 00:32:10,480
you around the official playing field

748
00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:12,480
for ultimate ascent our first stop is

749
00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:14,159
the pyramid each alliance has one

750
00:32:18,310 --> 00:32:16,080
pyramid that is located adjacent to its

751
00:32:20,070 --> 00:32:18,320
auto line the pyramids are powder coated

752
00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:20,080
red or blue to indicate which alliance

753
00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:22,080
they belong to hopefully your robot will

754
00:32:25,269 --> 00:32:23,600
climb the pyramid for bonus points at

755
00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:25,279
the end of the match the pyramid has

756
00:32:28,630 --> 00:32:27,120
three rungs on each side that the robot

757
00:32:30,789 --> 00:32:28,640
can use to climb

758
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:30,799
each rung is made of a steel tube the

759
00:32:35,029 --> 00:32:33,360
rungs are located at 30 60 and 90 inches

760
00:32:37,110 --> 00:32:35,039
from the ground the levels are important

761
00:32:38,870 --> 00:32:37,120
to understand for scoring level one goes

762
00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:38,880
from the floor to the top of the first

763
00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:40,880
rung level two goes from the top of the

764
00:32:44,870 --> 00:32:43,120
first rung to the top of the second and

765
00:32:46,950 --> 00:32:44,880
level three goes from the top of the

766
00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:46,960
second rung to the top of the third the

767
00:32:50,389 --> 00:32:48,480
rungs attach at each corner with a

768
00:32:52,630 --> 00:32:50,399
gusset plate to create a knuckle check

769
00:32:54,549 --> 00:32:52,640
out this bump underneath the pyramid is

770
00:32:56,389 --> 00:32:54,559
a set of steel base plates and wood

771
00:32:58,389 --> 00:32:56,399
floor protectors each are covered by

772
00:32:59,909 --> 00:32:58,399
carpet to further protect the floor

773
00:33:01,509 --> 00:32:59,919
together the floor protector and the

774
00:33:03,350 --> 00:33:01,519
carpet create a small lip around the

775
00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:03,360
pyramid there's a goal at the top of the

776
00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:04,720
pyramid that we'll discuss more in the

777
00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:06,559
goals video but be aware of the bottom

778
00:33:09,590 --> 00:33:08,320
of the goal so it isn't in your way

779
00:33:11,110 --> 00:33:09,600
while climbing

780
00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:11,120
that's all for this episode good luck

781
00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:15,990
welcome back everybody i'm derek and

782
00:33:20,070 --> 00:33:18,240
this is matt and these are the goals for

783
00:33:21,909 --> 00:33:20,080
ultimate ascent the big thing to

784
00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:21,919
remember is that your goals the goals

785
00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:23,600
you want to score in are on the opposite

786
00:33:27,909 --> 00:33:25,600
end of the field from your drivers

787
00:33:30,389 --> 00:33:27,919
each alliance has four kinds of goals

788
00:33:31,909 --> 00:33:30,399
low middle high and pyramid your low

789
00:33:33,830 --> 00:33:31,919
goal is between your opponent player

790
00:33:35,669 --> 00:33:33,840
station and feeder station your middle

791
00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:35,679
goals are above the outside player

792
00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:37,519
stations and the high goals are above

793
00:33:41,430 --> 00:33:39,760
the center player station the goals all

794
00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:41,440
have chains to help slow down flying

795
00:33:44,470 --> 00:33:42,559
discs

796
00:33:46,470 --> 00:33:44,480
the pyramid goal is a polycarbonate and

797
00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:46,480
metal framed basket with a post sticking

798
00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:48,240
out of the top to support the chains

799
00:33:53,430 --> 00:33:50,880
each goal is marked by a vision target

800
00:33:55,029 --> 00:33:53,440
baskets help keep the discs in the goal

801
00:33:56,789 --> 00:33:55,039
this year we're using weight sensors to

802
00:33:58,870 --> 00:33:56,799
keep score they're calibrated throughout

803
00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:58,880
the event by the fta officials will

804
00:34:02,149 --> 00:34:00,720
score the pyramid goal manually once a

805
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:02,159
disc enters the goal it stays there

806
00:34:05,590 --> 00:34:03,760
until the end of the match

807
00:34:08,869 --> 00:34:05,600
that covers it next up behind the

808
00:34:12,470 --> 00:34:10,629
welcome to episode 3 behind the alliance

809
00:34:13,990 --> 00:34:12,480
wall i'm matt and i'm joined by derek to

810
00:34:14,950 --> 00:34:14,000
show you what to expect in the player

811
00:34:16,869 --> 00:34:14,960
stations

812
00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:16,879
each alliance has three identical player

813
00:34:19,750 --> 00:34:18,079
stations

814
00:34:21,990 --> 00:34:19,760
each team gets its own player station

815
00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:22,000
with a shelf for their operator console

816
00:34:26,069 --> 00:34:23,679
the shelf has a two inch strip of hook

817
00:34:27,669 --> 00:34:26,079
and loop tape loop side up centered on

818
00:34:28,869 --> 00:34:27,679
it there's an ethernet cable that

819
00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:28,879
connects you to the field management

820
00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:30,480
system and allows you to control your

821
00:34:34,069 --> 00:34:32,240
robot during the match

822
00:34:35,909 --> 00:34:34,079
the starting line is four feet behind

823
00:34:38,389 --> 00:34:35,919
the alliance wall everyone has to stay

824
00:34:39,909 --> 00:34:38,399
behind it during autonomous mode

825
00:34:41,669 --> 00:34:39,919
there's no back line this year but you

826
00:34:43,990 --> 00:34:41,679
must stay on the carpet during the match

827
00:34:46,069 --> 00:34:44,000
the match starts with 45 white and six

828
00:34:47,909 --> 00:34:46,079
colored discs in each alliance station

829
00:34:50,710 --> 00:34:47,919
the feeder stations are made of clear

830
00:34:52,550 --> 00:34:50,720
polycarbonate outlined in your color

831
00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:52,560
watch out for the scoring equipment for

832
00:34:55,990 --> 00:34:54,399
the low goal each player station has a

833
00:34:58,310 --> 00:34:56,000
string of leds

834
00:35:00,310 --> 00:34:58,320
green lights mean it's safe for people

835
00:35:02,069 --> 00:35:00,320
to enter the field when the lights go

836
00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:02,079
off the match is about ready to begin

837
00:35:06,069 --> 00:35:04,160
and you must exit the field immediately

838
00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:06,079
yellow lights mean your robot's climb

839
00:35:10,470 --> 00:35:08,560
has been ruled invalid by ref now you've

840
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:10,480
seen behind the alliance wall be sure to

841
00:35:15,270 --> 00:35:12,160
check out all of our other field tour

842
00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:16,870
let's talk about vision targets we're

843
00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:18,480
going to take you on a tour of the retro

844
00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:19,920
reflective parts of the field that can

845
00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:21,680
be used for tracking with a light source

846
00:35:24,630 --> 00:35:22,800
and camera

847
00:35:26,550 --> 00:35:24,640
retro reflective materials reflect light

848
00:35:28,550 --> 00:35:26,560
directly back to the source this tape

849
00:35:30,069 --> 00:35:28,560
doesn't seem reflective to the naked eye

850
00:35:31,910 --> 00:35:30,079
but if your light source is adjacent to

851
00:35:33,190 --> 00:35:31,920
your camera lens it has a dramatically

852
00:35:34,950 --> 00:35:33,200
different appearance

853
00:35:36,870 --> 00:35:34,960
each goal is highlighted by a border of

854
00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:36,880
silver retroreflective tape it was

855
00:35:39,990 --> 00:35:38,480
donated by 3m

856
00:35:42,069 --> 00:35:40,000
you've seen it used on firefighting

857
00:35:44,150 --> 00:35:42,079
apparel it's really similar to the tape

858
00:35:45,829 --> 00:35:44,160
we used last year still we wanted to

859
00:35:48,950 --> 00:35:45,839
make sure you are aware in case your

860
00:35:50,950 --> 00:35:48,960
2013 implementation needs tweaking only

861
00:35:52,630 --> 00:35:50,960
your testing will tell you for sure

862
00:35:54,390 --> 00:35:52,640
this shouldn't be too difficult since

863
00:35:56,230 --> 00:35:54,400
the tape will be in the kit of parts

864
00:35:58,710 --> 00:35:56,240
there's a four inch border around each

865
00:36:01,109 --> 00:35:58,720
low middle and high goal the pyramid

866
00:36:02,870 --> 00:36:01,119
goal has a four inch wide alignment

867
00:36:04,630 --> 00:36:02,880
marks at the center of each opening and

868
00:36:06,390 --> 00:36:04,640
the post is covered with retroreflective

869
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:06,400
tape the seams between the player

870
00:36:10,390 --> 00:36:08,720
stations have four inch strips of tape

871
00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:10,400
that's it for the vision target tour

872
00:36:19,349 --> 00:36:17,109
we're back and excited to share the

873
00:36:26,069 --> 00:36:19,359
details on field netting with you guys

874
00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:27,510
the net will help keep them on the field

875
00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:29,040
where they belong

876
00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:30,960
the net is made of five-inch black nylon

877
00:36:34,550 --> 00:36:33,040
squares we'll rig it just outside each

878
00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:34,560
guardrail there will be an easily

879
00:36:38,710 --> 00:36:36,640
removable section to help field reset go

880
00:36:40,390 --> 00:36:38,720
smoothly we'll try to set the net three

881
00:36:41,829 --> 00:36:40,400
feet back from the field border but each

882
00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:41,839
venue is different and it might need to

883
00:36:45,430 --> 00:36:43,440
be set as close as a foot and a half

884
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:45,440
from the field the rules prohibit robots

885
00:36:48,950 --> 00:36:47,040
from contacting anything outside the

886
00:36:50,390 --> 00:36:48,960
field border but this is a new feature

887
00:36:52,069 --> 00:36:50,400
and we want to make sure you're aware of

888
00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:52,079
it as you design your robot getting

889
00:36:55,349 --> 00:36:53,359
caught in the net could result in your

890
00:36:57,750 --> 00:36:55,359
robot being disabled so please take

891
00:36:59,030 --> 00:36:57,760
extra caution to avoid these hazards

892
00:37:01,349 --> 00:36:59,040
that's it for the field netting

893
00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:01,359
discussion next up the field management

894
00:37:09,589 --> 00:37:06,950
hi i'm derek welcome to our tour of the

895
00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:09,599
field management system or fms it's the

896
00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:11,440
backbone of the arena's scoring and

897
00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:13,440
communication system and we hope this

898
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:16,160
video makes it more transparent to you

899
00:37:20,150 --> 00:37:18,240
all this detail is covered in the fms

900
00:37:22,630 --> 00:37:20,160
white paper released by first and

901
00:37:24,630 --> 00:37:22,640
announced in frank's frc blog last

902
00:37:26,470 --> 00:37:24,640
august the fms encompasses all the

903
00:37:28,790 --> 00:37:26,480
controls for the field creating match

904
00:37:30,710 --> 00:37:28,800
schedules managing all field hardware

905
00:37:32,390 --> 00:37:30,720
scoring the matches in real time posting

906
00:37:33,990 --> 00:37:32,400
information to the audience screen and

907
00:37:36,069 --> 00:37:34,000
posting results to the web controlling

908
00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:36,079
an frc robot requires two core

909
00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:38,640
components a robot with an onboard crio

910
00:37:43,670 --> 00:37:40,640
controller and the operator's netbook

911
00:37:45,910 --> 00:37:43,680
running the frc driver station software

912
00:37:47,510 --> 00:37:45,920
the frc robot control system is built

913
00:37:50,069 --> 00:37:47,520
such that the driver station is the

914
00:37:51,670 --> 00:37:50,079
master controller in other words the

915
00:37:53,670 --> 00:37:51,680
status and actions of the robot are

916
00:37:54,950 --> 00:37:53,680
determined by commands from the driver

917
00:37:59,030 --> 00:37:54,960
station

918
00:38:01,510 --> 00:37:59,040
can go one of three ways using the radio

919
00:38:03,510 --> 00:38:01,520
in the netbook a separate radio like the

920
00:38:05,270 --> 00:38:03,520
access point used on the playing field

921
00:38:07,030 --> 00:38:05,280
or through a tether

922
00:38:08,790 --> 00:38:07,040
on the competition field communication

923
00:38:10,230 --> 00:38:08,800
packets from a driver station are routed

924
00:38:11,910 --> 00:38:10,240
through the managed switches in the

925
00:38:13,910 --> 00:38:11,920
station control cabinet and scorpion

926
00:38:15,670 --> 00:38:13,920
case to the field access point which

927
00:38:17,430 --> 00:38:15,680
then transmits the packets wirelessly to

928
00:38:19,430 --> 00:38:17,440
the appropriate robot

929
00:38:21,430 --> 00:38:19,440
the fms software communicates with each

930
00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:21,440
driver station via the field network and

931
00:38:25,829 --> 00:38:23,920
employs team-specific vlans to isolate

932
00:38:27,910 --> 00:38:25,839
each team's data traffic

933
00:38:30,550 --> 00:38:27,920
the fms software does not communicate

934
00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:30,560
with the robots directly instead fms

935
00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:32,240
gathers data from the driver's station

936
00:38:36,310 --> 00:38:34,240
about the robot status and tells the

937
00:38:38,390 --> 00:38:36,320
driver station which state and mode the

938
00:38:40,790 --> 00:38:38,400
robot should be in as well as the player

939
00:38:42,230 --> 00:38:40,800
station position and alliance color

940
00:38:44,550 --> 00:38:42,240
if you see your team's stack light

941
00:38:46,310 --> 00:38:44,560
flashing during a match that indicates

942
00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:46,320
that fms does not think your driver

943
00:38:49,990 --> 00:38:48,480
station has a connection to your robot

944
00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:50,000
there are two main ways for this

945
00:38:55,270 --> 00:38:52,240
condition to occur the driver station is

946
00:38:57,270 --> 00:38:55,280
not communicating with fms or the driver

947
00:38:59,430 --> 00:38:57,280
station is telling fms that it cannot

948
00:39:01,270 --> 00:38:59,440
communicate with the robot

949
00:39:03,190 --> 00:39:01,280
the fms software configures the managed

950
00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:03,200
switches and access point before each

951
00:39:06,710 --> 00:39:04,640
match to ensure the data and

952
00:39:08,950 --> 00:39:06,720
communications for each team is kept

953
00:39:10,950 --> 00:39:08,960
separate from others specifically each

954
00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:10,960
team has its own vlan within which all

955
00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:12,480
data is passed

956
00:39:16,069 --> 00:39:14,320
the characteristics of a vlan ensure

957
00:39:18,150 --> 00:39:16,079
that the command packets from one team's

958
00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:18,160
driver station do not cause a response

959
00:39:22,310 --> 00:39:20,000
on another team's robot

960
00:39:23,670 --> 00:39:22,320
these vlans exist on both the wired and

961
00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:23,680
wireless side of the playing fields

962
00:39:27,430 --> 00:39:25,680
network this is why for example it's

963
00:39:29,349 --> 00:39:27,440
necessary for a team in blue player

964
00:39:31,109 --> 00:39:29,359
station number one to connect their

965
00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:31,119
driver station into the corresponding

966
00:39:34,630 --> 00:39:33,040
cable for that station

967
00:39:36,630 --> 00:39:34,640
on the wireless side of the network the

968
00:39:39,030 --> 00:39:36,640
vlans are configured in the field access

969
00:39:41,430 --> 00:39:39,040
point by broadcasting an ssid for each

970
00:39:43,430 --> 00:39:41,440
of the six teams on the field each with

971
00:39:45,270 --> 00:39:43,440
its own encryption pass key

972
00:39:47,270 --> 00:39:45,280
these vlans are configured prior to the

973
00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:47,280
start of each match so that only the six

974
00:39:50,470 --> 00:39:49,440
teams assigned in fms may operate on the

975
00:39:52,069 --> 00:39:50,480
field

976
00:39:54,310 --> 00:39:52,079
this is why it's necessary to configure

977
00:39:56,950 --> 00:39:54,320
your d-link radio at the kiosk at each

978
00:39:58,630 --> 00:39:56,960
event your team attends once the process

979
00:40:00,310 --> 00:39:58,640
of setting up all the vlans on the

980
00:40:03,349 --> 00:40:00,320
playing field is complete through a

981
00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:03,359
process frc calls match pre-start the

982
00:40:07,829 --> 00:40:05,680
fms starts sending out command packets

983
00:40:09,589 --> 00:40:07,839
to the six driver stations

984
00:40:11,030 --> 00:40:09,599
when a team plugs their driver station

985
00:40:13,270 --> 00:40:11,040
into the ethernet cable for their

986
00:40:15,430 --> 00:40:13,280
assigned player station the driver

987
00:40:19,510 --> 00:40:15,440
station receives these command packets

988
00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:19,520
from fms and switches over into fms mode

989
00:40:24,390 --> 00:40:21,599
at this point fms connected is displayed

990
00:40:26,230 --> 00:40:24,400
on the driver station operation tab

991
00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:26,240
when in fms mode the driver station

992
00:40:29,990 --> 00:40:27,760
continues to serve as the master

993
00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:30,000
controller for the robot but state and

994
00:40:34,870 --> 00:40:32,720
mode are dictated by the fms the fms

995
00:40:38,150 --> 00:40:34,880
tells the driver station what to do and

996
00:40:40,069 --> 00:40:38,160
the driver station then tells the robot

997
00:40:42,710 --> 00:40:40,079
you can use practice mode at home to

998
00:40:43,829 --> 00:40:42,720
simulate match timing fms mode is used

999
00:40:45,829 --> 00:40:43,839
when you're connected to the field

1000
00:40:47,190 --> 00:40:45,839
network the two modes do have some

1001
00:40:48,790 --> 00:40:47,200
differences but the majority of the

1002
00:40:50,550 --> 00:40:48,800
functions are identical

1003
00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:50,560
both operating modes step through the

1004
00:40:53,670 --> 00:40:51,920
same states which are listed and

1005
00:40:55,030 --> 00:40:53,680
described in more detail in the fms

1006
00:40:56,950 --> 00:40:55,040
white paper

1007
00:40:58,630 --> 00:40:56,960
in practice mode unplugging a joystick

1008
00:41:00,630 --> 00:40:58,640
will result in the robot being switched

1009
00:41:02,390 --> 00:41:00,640
to disabled this is designed to be a

1010
00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:02,400
safety feature as the robot may be

1011
00:41:06,470 --> 00:41:04,720
running in a variety of environments

1012
00:41:08,950 --> 00:41:06,480
that might not be equipped with barriers

1013
00:41:11,349 --> 00:41:08,960
to safely contain the robot

1014
00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:11,359
unplugging a joystick in fms mode will

1015
00:41:15,750 --> 00:41:13,680
not result in the robot being disabled

1016
00:41:17,670 --> 00:41:15,760
if a joystick becomes disconnected

1017
00:41:19,430 --> 00:41:17,680
simply plugging it back in will not

1018
00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:19,440
result in it returning to normal

1019
00:41:22,870 --> 00:41:20,400
operation

1020
00:41:25,510 --> 00:41:22,880
the user must press f1 on the driver

1021
00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:25,520
station to manually rescan the usb

1022
00:41:30,309 --> 00:41:28,079
interface to redetect the joystick more

1023
00:41:31,829 --> 00:41:30,319
details are included in the fms white

1024
00:41:34,069 --> 00:41:31,839
paper

1025
00:41:36,069 --> 00:41:34,079
finally the network port used by the

1026
00:41:37,990 --> 00:41:36,079
driver station to send command packets

1027
00:41:41,270 --> 00:41:38,000
to the robot is different in practice

1028
00:41:44,069 --> 00:41:41,280
mode from the one used in fms mode

1029
00:41:46,150 --> 00:41:44,079
details about network ports open on the

1030
00:41:48,150 --> 00:41:46,160
playing field are included in the fms

1031
00:41:50,069 --> 00:41:48,160
white paper and the arena section of the

1032
00:41:51,589 --> 00:41:50,079
frc game manual

1033
00:41:54,230 --> 00:41:51,599
the practice field at your event isn't

1034
00:41:55,670 --> 00:41:54,240
integrated into the fms at all it uses a

1035
00:41:57,829 --> 00:41:55,680
different access point and doesn't

1036
00:41:59,589 --> 00:41:57,839
employ vlans in fact if you want to

1037
00:42:01,270 --> 00:41:59,599
operate without a tether on the practice

1038
00:42:02,870 --> 00:42:01,280
field you'll need to use a first

1039
00:42:04,630 --> 00:42:02,880
supplied radio that's configured

1040
00:42:06,230 --> 00:42:04,640
specifically to operate with a practice

1041
00:42:07,670 --> 00:42:06,240
field access point

1042
00:42:09,589 --> 00:42:07,680
so far we've been talking about

1043
00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:09,599
infrastructure that's been in place for

1044
00:42:13,510 --> 00:42:12,000
a few years however we want to make you

1045
00:42:16,150 --> 00:42:13,520
aware of some differences being

1046
00:42:17,910 --> 00:42:16,160
implemented for the 2013 season first

1047
00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:17,920
we've incorporated bandwidth limiting

1048
00:42:21,349 --> 00:42:19,839
each team has a bandwidth limit of 7

1049
00:42:23,510 --> 00:42:21,359
megabits per second while on the

1050
00:42:24,790 --> 00:42:23,520
competition field we strongly recommend

1051
00:42:26,550 --> 00:42:24,800
that you incorporate this bandwidth

1052
00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:26,560
limit for practice at home to mimic the

1053
00:42:30,309 --> 00:42:28,800
fms environment details on how to do

1054
00:42:33,030 --> 00:42:30,319
this and more information are included

1055
00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:33,040
in the fms whitepaper second the fms now

1056
00:42:37,270 --> 00:42:35,040
gives control and status packets the

1057
00:42:39,109 --> 00:42:37,280
highest priority on the network what

1058
00:42:41,589 --> 00:42:39,119
this means is that even though teams may

1059
00:42:43,349 --> 00:42:41,599
be using more network bandwidth robot

1060
00:42:46,150 --> 00:42:43,359
control and status packets are

1061
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:46,160
prioritized over other user data like

1062
00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:48,480
camera feeds third we've changed the

1063
00:42:52,550 --> 00:42:50,640
antenna used on the field access point

1064
00:42:54,069 --> 00:42:52,560
the new antenna provides improved signal

1065
00:42:55,430 --> 00:42:54,079
strength and is directionally focused on

1066
00:42:57,030 --> 00:42:55,440
the playing field

1067
00:42:59,190 --> 00:42:57,040
we hope this helps you understand the

1068
00:43:00,390 --> 00:42:59,200
conditions to expect when on the field

1069
00:43:02,870 --> 00:43:00,400
and how they may differ from the

1070
00:43:06,470 --> 00:43:02,880
conditions at home or the practice field

1071
00:43:11,190 --> 00:43:09,030
welcome back to our tour of the 2013 frc

1072
00:43:12,550 --> 00:43:11,200
field i'm matt i'm derek and this is

1073
00:43:14,309 --> 00:43:12,560
colin

1074
00:43:16,309 --> 00:43:14,319
this clip focuses on the belay system

1075
00:43:18,390 --> 00:43:16,319
we'll use to safely lower robots down

1076
00:43:19,990 --> 00:43:18,400
from the pyramid the belay system is

1077
00:43:22,150 --> 00:43:20,000
made up of climbing ropes that connect

1078
00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:22,160
to your robot with carabiners make sure

1079
00:43:24,950 --> 00:43:23,280
you have mounting points for the

1080
00:43:26,710 --> 00:43:24,960
carabiners or someplace to choke the

1081
00:43:28,550 --> 00:43:26,720
line on your robot that are centered and

1082
00:43:30,790 --> 00:43:28,560
accessible robot inspectors will be

1083
00:43:32,550 --> 00:43:30,800
looking for this key safety feature

1084
00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:32,560
only designated field volunteers will

1085
00:43:36,950 --> 00:43:34,640
operate the belay system our goal is

1086
00:43:40,790 --> 00:43:36,960
always to keep people robots and the

1087
00:43:46,150 --> 00:43:43,510
that's the belay system good luck teams

1088
00:43:48,390 --> 00:43:46,160
hi teams i'm kate and i'm colin we're

1089
00:43:50,710 --> 00:43:48,400
the frc kid of parts engineers here's an

1090
00:43:52,069 --> 00:43:50,720
update on the 2013 kit of parts to all

1091
00:43:54,150 --> 00:43:52,079
of you who fill out the kit of parts

1092
00:43:56,710 --> 00:43:54,160
survey after the season we can't thank

1093
00:43:57,990 --> 00:43:56,720
you enough we review all the feedback

1094
00:43:59,910 --> 00:43:58,000
and have incorporated some of your

1095
00:44:02,390 --> 00:43:59,920
suggestions this season

1096
00:44:04,870 --> 00:44:02,400
thank you to our 2013 suppliers your

1097
00:44:06,870 --> 00:44:04,880
generosity is key to first

1098
00:44:08,790 --> 00:44:06,880
the kit distribution model continues to

1099
00:44:11,109 --> 00:44:08,800
evolve it's broken into three separate

1100
00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:11,119
categories kickoff first choice and

1101
00:44:13,829 --> 00:44:12,160
virtual

1102
00:44:15,990 --> 00:44:13,839
until this year every team received a

1103
00:44:18,069 --> 00:44:16,000
drive base as part of their kickoff kit

1104
00:44:19,349 --> 00:44:18,079
this year veteran teams had an option

1105
00:44:21,270 --> 00:44:19,359
they were able to choose between

1106
00:44:23,109 --> 00:44:21,280
receiving the kid of parts drive system

1107
00:44:25,030 --> 00:44:23,119
or a product donation voucher to andy

1108
00:44:27,750 --> 00:44:25,040
mark for 450

1109
00:44:29,349 --> 00:44:27,760
nearly 700 teams chose the voucher

1110
00:44:30,950 --> 00:44:29,359
thanks to our partnership with andymark

1111
00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:30,960
and gates we were able to change the

1112
00:44:35,670 --> 00:44:33,119
drive system from chains to belts this

1113
00:44:37,349 --> 00:44:35,680
year you'll also notice that the 2013

1114
00:44:39,349 --> 00:44:37,359
drive system allows the robot to be

1115
00:44:41,430 --> 00:44:39,359
configured in two different ways to meet

1116
00:44:43,910 --> 00:44:41,440
the new robot size requirements there

1117
00:44:45,829 --> 00:44:43,920
are many new items to the kickoff kit 3m

1118
00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:45,839
donated a variety of adhesives

1119
00:44:50,710 --> 00:44:48,240
electrical tape terminals cabling and

1120
00:44:52,390 --> 00:44:50,720
retroreflective material rookie teams

1121
00:44:54,550 --> 00:44:52,400
received enough fabric to make their

1122
00:44:57,030 --> 00:44:54,560

kit to first choice for example this

1149
00:45:53,030 --> 00:45:50,560
year all pneumatic components are in

1150
00:45:54,870 --> 00:45:53,040
first choice clippard recognized that

1151
00:45:57,109 --> 00:45:54,880
many teams were using plastic air tanks

1152
00:46:00,069 --> 00:45:57,119
instead of metal ones so they designed

1153
00:46:02,309 --> 00:46:00,079
and donated a plastic tank for frc other

1154
00:46:05,030 --> 00:46:02,319
new items include color sensors and

have been in frc the longest but have

1176
00:46:49,030 --> 00:46:46,400
been upgraded this year to have a more

1177
00:46:50,950 --> 00:46:49,040
linear response the jaguars are can

1178
00:46:53,349 --> 00:46:50,960
capable and the boards inside are now

1179
00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:53,359
conformal coated you didn't receive any

1180
00:46:57,190 --> 00:46:55,440
motor controller in the black tote

1181
00:46:59,030 --> 00:46:57,200
instead you received a voucher that will

1182
00:47:01,270 --> 00:46:59,040

00:47:49,750 --> 00:47:47,440
evolve it's broken into three separate

1206
00:47:52,069 --> 00:47:49,760
categories kickoff first choice and

1207
00:47:53,510 --> 00:47:52,079
virtual until this year every team

1208
00:47:55,990 --> 00:47:53,520
received a drive base as part of their

1209
00:47:57,589 --> 00:47:56,000
kickoff kit this year veteran teams had

1210
00:47:59,270 --> 00:47:57,599
an option they were able to choose

1211
00:48:01,430 --> 00:47:59,280
between receiving the kit of parts drive

1212
00:48:03,589 --> 00:48:01,440

year

1219
00:48:16,470 --> 00:48:14,559
you'll also notice that the 2013 drive

1220
00:48:18,309 --> 00:48:16,480
system allows the robot to be configured

1221
00:48:20,470 --> 00:48:18,319
in two different ways to meet the new

1222
00:48:22,950 --> 00:48:20,480
robot size requirements there are many

1223
00:48:25,510 --> 00:48:22,960
