IRI seeks to invite the very best robots to play the FIRST game, achieving the highest level of play, while keeping in place the FIRST atmosphere. |

In the end the important thing is that the rookie members who make up the majority of our team were inspired and will try much harder next year. :) |

[IRI] is like shaving the cream that has risen to the top of each championship division putting them into a blender and serving the concoction up to the FIRST community for dessert. |

if you want to repay us for the omni-wheels, use the money to help out a few rookie teams next year. Buy them batteries or help build them bumpers, anything you see fit will be much better than cash back to us. |

And then since this is GTR-W there's also maple syrup somewhere and the drive team says "Sooory." |

No, I'm not a Superhero...I'm a FIRST Mentor. Common Mistake. |

I dont think it matters too much what you do, as long as you do something that lets you apply what you're learning in class. |

254 isn't just good at building their robot. They're also good at taking pictures of it. |

Hearing about the beginnings of 842 was truly inspirational and has really stuck with me through the years. After following you guys for so long it was crazy for me to play with you. Thank you for all that you have done for FIRST in Arizona. |

ask not what your alliance picks can do for you, but what you can do for your alliance picks. |

Just take a chance. Dream and live. It's not a wild decision, but just ask yourself - if I got my team just a little bit more spending money, where would my team be then? Then, change that dream into a reality. Help your team sustain itself to inspire more kids. |

Remember that though we come from different backgrounds and x, y, z, we are all on each other's side. We want people to love STEM, and think FIRST is a great tool to fulfill that desire. |

Overpowered? You only took out half the building... Knock the rest down then get back to me. |

So much energy is wasted complaining (even in this thread) and belittling others (subtly in this thread). You need to engineer an attitude that encourages success through hard work before you engineer the robot. |

As everyone knows, our students don't actually design or build the robot, so to make it look like they were working on it for the video, we hid cookies inside the unfinished frame and turned them loose. It looks believable. |

I can't help but notice during the building sequence, there were a whole lot of student hands working on that robot.
Just sayin'. |

My students like to win, so I'll stick to enabling that. |

Could you explain this concept of a break from FIRST? Did my wife put you up to this? |

What makes a team great is not what they do during the 6 weeks, but what they do the rest of the year. |

We need to celebrate great things because good enough isn't inspiring. |

I think that in general people should worry more about what they are doing, and less about what others are doing. That goes for a lot more than FIRST. |

Q&A is certainly a good route to take, but depending on how gray the topic in question is, CD is certainly a good place to ask the question. |

In my opinion, watching someone CAD is about as exciting as watching them sleep. |

Practice bots are not regulated by FIRST. Your practice bot could have a flamethrower and a jamming device on it, and they wouldn't care in the slightest.
You just can't compete at a competition with it. :) |

1114 is the definition of what a FIRST team should be. For anyone to say otherwise is disgusting to me. |

Namaste. Maybe we all one day will spend our energy trying to raise our own level to match that of the competition rather than trying to tear others down. |
