Seniors secretly getting together night after Kickoff = Fully designed robot on day 2 + really pissed non-seniors

Re: What I Learned In FIRST This Year...
 

Pissed or not, I'd still be celebrating. (Freshmen)
... + Programmer starting week 1 instead of week 4.

Guys (referring to a few of the recent posts in this thread): just keep in mind that...

dirty laundry about your team + public website = not good * people getting more ticked off

I'd change the "*" to a "^". :eek:

Other than that I heartily agree. Dirty laundry needs to be dealt with at home, by the family, not by or in front of strangers.

Another lesson learned? or are there a bunch of fools here?

Re: What I Learned In FIRST This Year...
 

Yes, yes indeed.



Here's a few more:

(Team 1) + (Dollar Store at the Underground) = (Flying Cow in hotel) + (Even more random stuff) + (Dollar Store profit)

(Marco Polo at the pool) + (Very discombobulated team members) = (Their heads) x (Pool wall) + "Ouch"

(Team spirit) + Competition = (Plenty of weird cheers) + Confidence + (Happiness, win or lose) + (Purpose of FIRST)

Water balloon toss at team picnic + Ron's valiniant and bold attempt to catch airborn water balloon + an ill timed slip - a picture or video documentation :( = comedy gold! :D

(Great Ideas + Great Designs + Great People to make those ideas and designs work) = SWEET Robot!!!!!!

Re: What I Learned In FIRST This Year...
 

I took a year off...so 02's off season (when that happened) is definitely still in the year limit for me! :-D

How about this...

seasoned FIRSTer + freshman brother = finally, something to talk about.

Re: What I Learned In FIRST This Year...
 

Teamwork + gracious professionalism + robots = FIRST Robotics

Re: What I Learned In FIRST This Year...
 

It takes six weeks to build a robot, but it only takes one day to take it all apart. :confused:

Re: What I Learned In FIRST This Year...
