I found the best way to slice through pit crowds is to carry a clipboard and look like you know where you are going. People just seem to slide out of your way. :) |

Any adult can open a door. Some can give direction. A few can give leadership. These are the true mentors. This is where true success comes from. |

Long post, I know, but to sum it all up, power house teams are a resource, not an enemy. |

You win Worlds by innovation. You win Worlds by determination. You win Worlds by engineering a robot so solid, that it successfully completes the game. |

Like a typical sport or game played, students and other teams should want to beat the team on the field and not anywhere else |

If you see Navy ships in port, you're going to be fine. If you see ships pulling out, or no ships at all, go East. Fast. |

FIRST is the best thing that has ever happened to me...FIRST has taught me so much more than anything I learned in the classroom. The thing with my team, is we are so close, we are family, and I have figured out so much about who I am because of FIRST. |

Also, If I am not mistaken, the name indicates that your robot is female :P They're all female... like cars, ships, and airplanes. |

It will really be different for us (ESPECIALLY since our robot drives consistently this year). |

Above all, have fun and, if you need help, ask for it... Your inspectors will be glad to help or try to arrange for another team to help you. This should not be a traumatic experience! |

You won't find this in a manual anywhere but you will need COUGH DROPS!! If you haven't started losing your voice by Friday afternoon, you aren't getting the full experience. |

Any school official who isn't tickled pink by hundreds high school students, and teachers, and parents, and mentors spending their weekend celebrating STEM isn't a school official worth having. |

One wondered why they couldn't practice in the gym that day - because the robotics team had it reserved was the answer. "Oh, we have a robotics team?"
Sigh. This is a team with a low number. They've been around for at least a dozen years. There's still a lot more culture-changing to do. |

Step 1: Get a blue banner.
Step 2: Wave it everywhere until your School Board acknowledges your existence.
We haven't gotten to Step 1 yet, unfortunately. |

Just put it in the dryer for a few extra cycles. That should shrink it down nice and small. |

your time is better spent in the stands, watching what the robots actually do, as opposed to listening to the builders talk about what they're [I]supposed[/I] to do. |
