Re: What I have Learned in FIRST

Well, I learned the extended basics of metal work:
~How to use a mill
~How to use the circle-y thing on the mill (technical term for the base that turns the piece of metal around)
~How to use the metal laithe
~How much my legs can hurt after a 6 hour marathon at the metal laithe
~That if you give stuck programmers a blank stare, they figure out exactly what's wrong in the program
~The value of clear comminication
~Teamwork can be ambitious but attainable
~Robot nerd boys have the BEST hair!
~Robot nerds will hug anybody who screams out, "Free hugs!"
~The scouts are mightier than the drive team
~Great legs can be attained with four flights of escalators as long as you take them in a rush 8 times a day
~And fireworks with people I met two days before after an evening of "telephone" and good food will be as unforgettable as the people themselves.
