Spirit of FIRST much?

Sticky!

This is the year that everyone will win an award for gracious professionalism and feel great about it!

That sumed up the meaning of FIRST. Thanks for reminding everyone what FIRST is about because sometimes I feel that people or teams forget what FIRST is all about. I feel that those are words that everyteam should live by and every team should have that hanging on their robotics room, on a website or on their forum. Thanks again for reminding everyone. I am now going to print that up and take it to our build rooom and pr room and post it on our team forum.

Thank you, you are an inspiration. FIRST needs more people like you. I just wish I could have read this 7 years ago when I started. I hope you don't mind but I am going to make a poster of this for our robotics room. Such a simple message but somehow overlooked by so many for so long. I try to encourage these concepts with my students but I never found such a straightforward way to get the message out. Keep up the good work.

I second the sticky idea. I missed this the first time around.

Those are some very great words, and i will print that off and pass it around the team.

These are most definitely words for every team to hear, rookie and veteran alike! This will go out to my team, any member who can't come on the internet and read it personally.

that is an excellent thought. every year kids put so many goals in front of them and when they notice that theres so much in there way or that they cant accomplish them all they get down and want to give up.but if we all work together as a whole as a FIRST family then we can accomplish our goals which end up being each others' goals giving each other hope and something to look forward to knowing that he/she has the power and heart to accomplish the tasks in front of them.by working together we can accomplish much more than going solo

There have been suggestions made to be able to spotlight entire posts. Hopefully, someday that will be a possibility. It is inspiring, isn't it?

I "spotlighted" it in multiple ways. First, I sent the email to every team member I had an address for. Then, I printed out two copies, each for a window in our shop.

This is the best write-up I've ever read regarding FIRST.

Thank you for the great post, I was honestly going about things with the wrong attitude until I saw it. Is it alright if I print this out and hang it up in the robotics shop? Out team captain really wants to have it printed and posted in the workshop, but I wanted to make sure that it's alright with you first.

You may do anything you'd like with it. Good luck with your season.
