What I Learned In FIRST This Year...

Hi all!

Its friday, I am bored, so I decided to be a little creative. Here are a few equations that you may or may not be able to relate to.

What I learned in FIRST this year...

1. Gearbox X 2 = Heavy

2. Einstien Field Sound System + Curie Field Sound System = Bargled

3. (Robots + Steps) = Tipsy = (Robot + Ball)

4. Beatty + Hammond = Gold Metal ^ 4

5. (Contraversy / 2) + Gracious Professionalism = Cheesy Poofs and Kingman

6. Dave Lavery + Pimp Hat = Funny! (Thats Pimp Dave)

7. Bowling + 121 = New Shirt for Andy

8. Northeast - Defense = Midwest

9. Kindergarten = Hard

10. I = JVN

Hope ya liked! Anyone else have any good ones?

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

11. Curie + Mark Leon = t3h awesome
12. East coast - good teams = west coast
(Yeah, there were plenty of good west coast teams, and we're from the west coast, so don't flame me. I was just surprised that 11 of the 12 teams that made it to Einstein were from east of the Mississippi.)

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

13. 3 weeks of design + 1 week of waiting for parts = 2 weeks of build=not good cuz we get kicked out @ 11

14. not having a robot for UTC scrimmage + using last year's robot = winning it? (strange but true)

15. totally reorganizing= a lot of work for years to come, not just this past year

16. hanging onto the past + not being ready for the future = trouble in team
