FIRST is supposed to be a learning experience. Learn first, win awards later. |

Girls, if you are techy, great! If you're not, don't worry about it. We're all good at something and FIRST can show you what that is. Just remember, be true to WHO YOU ARE.

when I was a young whippersnapper, we didn't even HAVE Internet access at my high school in my podunk farmer town of Kinsman, OH! |

Gravity is not always pointing the same direction relative to the robot! |

From past experience members of our team insist on never trusting gravity. |

When we got it tuned to the point where we were (reasonably) confident it wouldn't slam into Dave's ankle, we quit for the evening. |

The first law of programming is that there are always ways of doing things quicker and in less space than you already are. |

I'm a programmer by training and inclination, so my mechanical ideas are sometimes rather, um, loosely constrained by physical reality. |

I heard a Lou Holtz quote as an answer to the question of "how do you motivate the unmotivated". He said " You eliminate those who are not motivated." |

Have I ever poked fun at you? OK, maybe Heidi. and JVN. And Dave Lavery. and Andy Baker. and .... all right, I guess I deserve it. |

"What's this on the floor? 'Team 71 2005 strategy and design notebook'?" DRAT! I better call Bill and get this in the mail. |

I happen to know that there is a back-order status from Exide. Seems for some reason people are ordering this product |

Uh .. The CMU cam still needs some tuning. It was more attracted to the trees and the green panels on the fence than the actual vision tetra.

The great thing about autonomous mode is that it doesn't require any additional effort from anyone else on your team... (You could do that yourself...but I've noticed that people will usually offer to do it for you, rather than let the programmer touch power tools.) |

The flux capacitor should have been allowed under the flowchart as long as it met the single component maximum cost. I did check with Digikey and they no longer carry the line. |

Dont give up, because that is when you lose what you have. FIRST is the best experience that I have had throughout my entire life and there is no way ANYONE can make me quit FIRST. |

When you are at the regional no one cares if you are a rookie. You are a part of the family. |

I then asked if I could use a flux capacitor for power, but that didn't go over too well, either (they did say I could use it for decorative purposes, though). |

If you want to know how to build a more competitive robot, ask. GP demands we tell you, help you, guide you, teach you. |

FIRST is about family, making new friendships, belonging somewhere, doing something you love, and finding out what your real love is in life, so when you're old and wrinkly you can look back at high school and say "This is when I found myself." |

I think that one of the most fantastic parts about FIRST is that the biggest and most successful teams are also the most abiding to the rules. |

It would also level the playing field by bringing the bottom up, rather than the top down. |

My contention is that there is not a whit of difference between noting that a change like that has to be made, and making the change. |

It is not for any other team to say what is beyond a person's or a team's capabilities. That's why they have mentors :-) |

FIRST should never come before school and anyone who thinks otherwise is irresponsible and should not be mentoring the kids |
