One month to Kick-off

Yes girls and boys, only 30 days to kickoff. Are we getting excited???

For me these last 30 days take forever. I'm waiting on a game clue. Perhaps I'll get one for the holidays.

We want to wish all of our extended FIRST family a happy and safe holiday season. I am looking forward to spending this season with all of you.

Re: One month to Kick-off

Excited might be a little bit of an understatement. After taking a year off, and now being a part of a new team, I honestly cannot wait to be in NH on the 5th.

Happy Holidays to all, see you at the competition

All you excited guys and gals will have to wait an extra day for a total of 31, because December has 31 days in it!

Maybe you want an official game clue?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: One month to Kick-off

I got a call from someone I'm doing work for this morning and, among many questions, was asked "How's robotics going?"

This translates as, "how much longer will you pay attention to what I give you to do instead of what they give you?"

Re: One month to Kick-off

For me, the excitement starts Sunday Dec. 23rd...that's when I drive 10 hours to visit my family for Christmas for a week and try to convince my old high school for a second year in a row to start at least an FTC team (new plan of attack this year). Then it's to Atlanta with old friends for New Year's, then I return to work for 2 days (3rd, 4th), then it's Kickoff the day after that.

I still don't know if I want to go to the event in Richmond to see the field or if I want to stay at home to write down the flood of ideas that always happens right after seeing the animation.

Re: One month to Kick-off

I saw the countdown on the top of a CD page a few days ago, when it said 33, and I nearly had a meltdown from the rush of excitement! I can't believe it's so close! *runs off to start on the list of schoolwork she needs to finish before January 5th*

Re: One month to Kick-off

Israeli FLL kick off was today, and that's enough to symbolise to me that the FIRST season has started, now all the pressure of preperations and stuff start now.

30 days to go....


I WANT IT TO BE NOW!!!!
