Ok, how about you think about what I said before you jump to a reaction. The newbies have NO intention of learning ANYTHING about robotics. This is the point I was trying to make that obviously went WAY over your head. On top of the fact that they have the combined mechanical skills of an ANT does not make things any better. I am easily annoyed, and things like this annoy me. Would you appreciate being put on a back burner in favor of a bunch of young, inexperienced, immature kids who really have nothing to do with what the applied for? By the way, the last thing, "open up", was uncalled for. Chill.

I don't jump to conclusions. I examine situations and call it like I see it. There is very little that goes over my head, even. I know what I read, I meant what I said, and there was nothing about your post that I did not understand.

FIRST, of course, is an acronym. We all know what it stands for, but do we know what it means?

FIRST is meant to inspire students. FIRST is aimed at those girls on your team. They don't know anything about mechanics, or electricity, or programming, or machining. They have no interest in it, either. They're perfect candidates for FIRST.

In my opinion, you do deserve to be put on the back burner. You sound like you're going to pursue technology no matter what happens, so why should I waste my energy on you when it's better spent on people who don't even realize the potential they have?

Your post did not go "over my head;" nor did your arrogance. Your intent was clear. Your intent seems selfish. You are an obstacle to my efforts.

Worry less about what other people are doing and worry more about what you could be doing to make things better for everyone.

Well said. I agree with that...I had no intention of going into an engineering field or even anything relative to technology. Heck, up until recently I still favored the old method of writing letters rather than e-mailing. FIRST picked me up somewhere during my sophomore year and now I am considering it. Some people know exactly what they want to do when they get out of high school. I am not that fortunate. I am fortunate in that FIRST is offering me a glimpse before I make a commitment. So maybe I don't know how to program? But I will. Thank you M. Krass for putting into words what I have been trying to say for so long.

Ok, pickup line my friend was the recipient of at the Philly regional just a bit ago. It was her job to find our team some shrink wrap for our crate and was successful in getting some. When she went to return it to the person who lent it to her, he responded, "Since you borrowed our shrink wrap, you think I could borrow your number?" It took her a bit to figure out what he was referring to, her first reaction was it had something to do with her team number, but go figure it was an origional pickup line.

Teeheee! I didn't really get told anything at a regional. My general pickup line, though hardly desperate is "can I have a hug?". Simplicity in its essence! The best CD pickup line I ever got (sorta pickupline) is "I don't have a DDR shirt...can I borrow yours?" That was great...

[utishpenguin]

simplicity....reminds of something my friend said, not very relevnat but cute

"short and sweet makes nice yrbook messages and girls"

though i dont agree, but it goes.

You sure got me with that line at Atlanta, a breezy era.

You among others . Then the #521 robot guys asked me to hug their robot. Now that was a compliment in my eyes...

one of the freshmen on our team told a bunch of us that he says things that he knows will make girls mad in hopes that they will slap him because it is the only physical contact he ever gets with girls.

I've known guys like that, but generally they're not bright enough to be doing it on purpose ...

While we were doing Pit scout sheets, one team asked us if we wanted their numbers on our pit scout sheets as well.

With lines like that, the girls your team encounters should arm themselves with the appropriate response – if only they could figure how to get a ten foot pole in their pocket.
