With any dollar amount to invest I would be more interested in the number of individuals (students is too narrow) impacted than the number of teams created--after all, this is about people. |

There's "FIRST the organization" and then there's "FIRST the vision for the future through a set of ideals". I've grown somewhat skeptical of the former in recent years, but, after 10 years, I'd still throw myself in front of a bus for the latter. |

FIRST already has 494 Martians, plus 70 more. |

OMG, yet another blatant attempt by FIRST at being open and transparent! What is this place coming to?? :p |

Winning a match is not something a robot does, winning is a team effort that requires the cooperation of dozens of individuals. |

This place is much brighter than most institutions I have seen. It also seems to be lacking straight jackets which I think is a mistake for many of us. |

There's a stark difference between bragging and taking pride in your work. While "Ha ha! We're better than you! We won seventeen regionals and you didn't!" would clearly fall in the former, listing your achievements would definitely fall in the latter. |

If people are getting offended at seeing other teams list their accomplishments, maybe they should spend less time whining and more time doing things to make their own team win. |

What do you do after making a design public? Improve it! What do you do when you give your opponents a weapon? Come up with a better one or a way to beat it! What is Wildstang going to do, you ask? Make their drivetrains better! |

Also, I did not know that Autodesk had changed our name from WildStang to "Digital Cheetanators"? |

So, FIRST is turning into the For the Inspiration of Science and Trains? That makes sense... Not a whole lot of re-branding will be needed.... |

Welcome to adulthood.
Remember, patience is your friend. Denial is your shield. Bitter disinterest your salve. Your endless hours of crushing workload will be your strength.
Good luck, soldier. |

If a kid was in FIRST and no one was around to see it, do they still get inspired? |

As far as the GDC being that mean, at least three of them have the pure evil genius rating, and the rest are simply pure evil. |

I am proud whenever I turn to a team during inspections and say "OK I just need two signatures here and I will go get your sticker, you passed!" |

[You know you're proud to be a FIRSTer when...] You explain to someone how do do something, they go off and do it, come back and ask, "is this right?" and you say,
"Yes."

I will never forget Dean's opening lines: "I want you to know that I am here under protest. I believe that everything you are doing here is repugnant and ethically wrong. And now I am going to tell you why..." And for the next 35 minutes, that is exactly what he did. |

The problem is though, as long as the teams are allowed to work on their robots on Thursday, they will, and they'll never learn to finish it before the event. |

At one of the registration days at the beginning of the year I actually made a sign saying: "I'm not smart isn't an excuse". |

Mostly, however, I find that once the students start building a robotics project, they are too busy learning for me to teach. |
