I'd like to think FIRST hasn't completely transformed into a money hungry self serving corporation. I'd like to think they actually still think they care about us. |

I never use set screws to transfer torque. Something about evil spirits or whatever. |

After all, if matches were determined by the numbers, we wouldn't need to have competitions. |

32% of the teams in any division will be or could be in eliminations. And any one of those could be YOU. If you aren't ready, you will be eliminated. If you are ready, you greatly increase your chances of winning. |

All those crazy teenagers walking around Atlanta trying to "Save the world" looking like gang members with their attire. |

When I got home from work my facebook wall had exploded with people chanting the names of dead scientists.

Big scoop for everyone here:
All divisions are stacked with talented teams. It's like this is a really big event or something. |

The championship event is a meta-game of inches. People will complain about unbalanced/unequal divisions, whether you think it's silly or not. |

Every year I develop new connections and greater friendships with FIRSTers - and every year I am surprised to find just how many amazing people there are here. |

How are we as mentors and coaches presenting ourselves? We we are is who they will emulate. It is the nature of coaching, the nature of leading. |

Each year that I've been on the team I've thought to myself, "Man we lost some great seniors this year," and each year younger students have stepped up on their own to fill those leadership positions. |

The hardest resource to come by in FRC is the one you can't buy: a well-trained, experienced, well-intentioned, dedicated mentor. |

Nonetheless, I would welcome it, as long as [The President] didn't restrict the number of discs that a Robot could hold. Oops, wait, too late, the GDC already did that. :-) |

The only shame is if you are too proud to ask for help and to learn. |

There is no shame in admitting someone is better than you at something doesn't make them a better person just means they have skill you haven't figured out yet. The only shame is if you are too proud to ask for help and to learn. |

I looked at it and originally thought it was a crazy idea... then I looked at it again and it still sounds like a crazy idea. |

Engineering is a big, big type of fishing to teach. Inspiring kids to study it in college might be more practical. |

"Why even bother building a robot if we're not gonna win?". The answer? To learn and grow. |

So is it important to try? Without a doubt. Does it become frustrating to not win? Most certainly. Should you stop trying? Never! |

The practical experience that students learn by working with the mentors on a real life problem -- with real life constraints -- helps produce people who are good at those professions. |
