Add a little more grease if you aren't sure exactly how much you need. |

Its always reassuring to share a design with a respected, competitive and veteran team. |

The one thing that no one ever list in scouting but is one of the most important factors is reliability. I don't care if the robot scores a hundred balls a match if I can't count on you being out there for the next three because it's a fragile as china. |

I thought we agreed to just put up a teaser, not a picture of the robot! |

We're 30 pounds over LOL. I probably shouldn't be lol'ing, but it is 11:52PM, I just got home from a 15 hour build session, and I find the word 'potato' funny. |

you don't need a fancy workshop to build a good robot, just determined people. |

The thing about working hard, is you can always work harder. The thing about being great is you can always be greater. |

Would all you teams please stop! My chin will be bruised for weeks from dropping on the floor so much. |

When teams work together to design things rather than going it alone, you can really come up with magnificent machines. |

At the Chesapeake Regional, we will be weighing any team that brings in a kitchen sink (or other major appliances) or an extra robot... |

Seriously! I expect to follow what I understand to be the intent of (allow teams more time to work with their control systems) and just look out for anyone trying to bring in greater than half a robot. Or a kitchen sink. |

Last I looked, FIRST wasn't an acronym for inspiration and recognition of robots. It was and is an acronym for inspiration and recognition of science and technology. |

I firmly believe that - those [GDC] committee members I have met, even briefly, certainly have a passion for what they are doing and want to give teams and students the best possible experiences. |

If we miss in autonomous, the team blames the programmer, If we miss in teleop, the team blames the drivers |

Adding an ounce or two of shields is way easier than filling out the mountains of paperwork for that one impatient person to stick their arm into the robot reaching for who knows what only to have their fingers meet up close and personal with a gearbox. |

You can learn just as much from building a small robot as you can from a large bot because all of the key concepts are the same. |

This reminds me of a sports bar where there's a bunch of games on different TV's. Only this is better because it's FIRST. :D |

That's one of the saddest stories I've ever heard. When your green isn't neon enough, you are in big trouble in FIRST. |

To put it simply, its clearly become this. The teams that can score a lot, do well. Rather shocking, isn't it? It doesn't matter if you're a shooter, dumper, power dumper, gravity dumper, spitter, flinger, dunker, shumper, barfer, dropper, or whatchamacallit. Points are points. |

Robotics is really preparing us for jobs at NASA. Look. We're past deadline, overweight, overbudget, and our project doesn't even work! |

I trust my life to a 3650 pound rolling chunk of metal every day that, if some silicon failed in just the right (wrong?) way, would splat me pretty quickly, but I have faith in engineering.
On the other hand, it doesn't turn me upside down. |

Surprise! There is no ideal alliance. As soon as you think you have a winning strategy, someone WILL figure out how to beat it. |

If you're in the Chairman's Award just to win the Chairman's Award, you're doing it for all the wrong reasons. The award is there as a goal to strive for, but it shouldn't be the reason why you conduct yourself and reach out to your community and beyond the way you do. |
