We watched that every morning on the way to the arena last year and laughed every time.

Needless to say this video provided a very teachable moment for our Human Player and I'm certain the hands/face-on experience was also good for y'all
and I still laugh audibly in public places when I am reminded of this video

39 at a Regional?

thanks for sharing this....as an alumni parent, I can remember feeling that same way and being so pleasantly surprised.

I have also dealt with parents who brought their "little league" competitiveness to our events and were disappointed and overwhelmed with trying to understand how the scoring worked. It always amazes me that the next year I see them at competition, they are the ones bragging about how much better robotics is than sports and explaining the scoring to the newbies.

FIRST should extend an invitation to the author to check out the FIRST World Championships. I think he would appreciate it very much!

I suspect that he will be attending. Our team was fortunate to receive an invitation last week. And we were blessed to have folks step up with sponsorship to cover the entrance fee.

Great article Rick! Thanks for sharing. I'll pass it on to the team, parents and mentors of FRC Team 144!

Our drive team wears hard hats to support our driver, who got a concussion last year. She mustn't get a second one...

No Ed, Resistance is Voltage over Current. Sheesh, where'd you get that futile thing? :p

What ever happened to robotics is a sport?

Actually, that is impedance. Resistance is Re{V/I}:p

Re: Must Read - Seriously, You'll love it.

Great article. I often have a hard time explaining to people why I am so passionate about being a mentor in robotics (FLL, then FTC, then FRC). Also, it's a good reminder about what's important and what we are trying to teach the students. Thanks!

For me, this is an example of FIRST fulfilling its stated objective and perhaps a few of the readers will be influenced.

I shared it with this community so that we all could celebrate the success of having influenced the culture.

Hit the nail right on the head. :D

Re: Must Read - Seriously, You'll love it.

I read the article, generally liked it and posted a link to it on a social media page. I got some strong negative comments about the blog post, some of which are quite valid. Many of the 'differences' cited are not comprehensive among high school sports, and if you consider sports such as swimming, diving, golf, and others, I suspect the stabs at sports is quite off the mark.

Most fans are behaved, girls issue is dealt with via boys and girls teams. Teamwork, dedication and perseverance are useful life skills, not all teams/players have foul language and so forth.

But the post is certainly good at promoting discussions about the aspects of FIRST Robotics.
