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. :) |

It’s impossible to know who’s life you will change forever. Don’t miss an opportunity. I’m an optimist. Have a great season. This is the year. |

It's not easy dealing with the reality that others aren't as passionate as we are and that the process may be slower than we want it to be - but it gives me plenty of time to think and prepare. |

FIRST involves school, parents, family etc etc....at least it does at our house! |

When you're in a field as deep as the Championship go offensive or go home. It's that simple. |

FIRST is not about building robots, it is about building people; the robots are just a good way to get the people there. |

I've never been one for the "you did your best" and other "everyone's a winner" sayings, they don't push you, they don't get you to analyze what went wrong and figure out where to improve. |

In theory, we do not need teachers in this world because we have the written word, but in reality, teachers are one of the most valuable resources, if not the most valuable resource, we have. |

So remember, we may be envious of teams who can do water jet cutting and has every possible monetary and engineering advantage, but there are many more people who are envious of every team who has a chance to compete. |

...your education can be interesting and even fun. If you look a little farther down the path, you WILL "use this crap", and "this crap" can even be cool if you know how to use it. |

What I learned from week-1 is that once again my son has been inspired to the level that he came home after the BAE Systems Granite State FIRST Robotics Regional Competition with the biggest smile I have seen on his face for a long long time. I am truly grateful for that. |

Winning is important.
Learning is important.
Inspiring students is important.
Teaching Students is important.
Figuring out how to do all of these at the same time, in my opinion, is the meaning of FIRST. |

I'm sure there are many people out there who check their rep screen every 20 minutes in hope of positive reinforcement in a unique community, where they may not get positive reinforcement for sharing information in their home, school, or robotics program. |

A pole is usually made of aluminum or steel pipe. You can get these wherever you get metal. :)
As for polls, there's a check box in the "Additional Options" section of the New Thread page that you can click to create said poll. |

Our prototypes are good and running, now just need to do some magic to transform all that wood to aluminum. :eek: |
