Are you installing this package through the internet, or through a CD? If you are downloading it from the internet try to download from another source. If you are installing from a CD check if autorun is enabled. If you don't know how to enable it go to the the CD drive in "My Computer"...

Oh man a neighbor came over not even a week ago and all her alarms were going off because she hit one with a broom that was chirping. I had to hard reset it through the alarm system box that as located in the master bedroom. If chirping persists and you really want to stop it, you can unplug...

Yea, I know smart people who are also devout Christians. One of the guys that is in charge of mapping the human genome was a strong Christian.

The current problem they said has to do with the material on the accelerator linkage arm. Something so simple overlooked is causing 1.5 million cars to be recalled. Crazy.

My brother and his wife have a newer Corolla and they haven't had any problems yet. In case you didn't know the word from Toyota is if it happens to you make sure not to remove the keys (you will lose power steering) and don't hold the break down pump it.

According to this article, their is a correlation. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2111174/Intelligent-people-less-likely-to-believe-in-God.html

So possibly slippage in the drive train? That is strange I will say. We were having trouble with the right side of our robot and all it was was a servo that wasn't rotating at the same rate to change gears.

I always tried to write with both hands but failed utterly. I can dribble a basketball fairly proficiently with both hands if that counts for something haha.

Regarding the kicking system: some teams are having trouble meeting the requirements for the mechanism not going past the bumpers. This can be solved by different mounting positions and different positions of the actual driving mechanism. Are you using labview, C++ , Java to program your...

I have been involved in smaller competitions and they were a blast. The only thing I don't like about FIRST is the cost. It is fairly expensive for a team to get started let alone compete yearly.

I agree with Pengwuino, you are looking far too deeply into the statement. You could put evidence of a supreme being in any statement. "Where's the beef?" It is not beef that is missing, it is the supreme being. One must look past the metaphorical beef and search for inner protein.

Sweet! Nice to see more FIRST members. I am with Team 1742 Shockwave out of Moore Oklahoma. Everything is going pretty well. I am a first year Pre-Engineering student so this is my first year on the team, but I have a lot of previous electronics and programming experience so I am trying to help...

So you are having trouble installing software?

My first words of advice would be to slow down. You don't have to learn all of this now. Most introductory physics textbooks can be read and worked through with a little bit of trig. As with learning any subject by yourself the most important thing is practice. Their really isn't one method of...

I am a junior in high school. This year I am in the advanced trig/pre-calc course. Next year seniors who still want to participate in an advanced math course can choose to enroll in AP Calculus AB,BC. This is the normal order math classes are taken. Now I wanted to take calculus courses at a...
