Go to Post So kudos for asking advice... you've got plenty of good advice so far in this column... but honestly, if Orville and Wilbur Wright had taken good advice they would have packed up and gone back to their bicycle shop. - dtengineering [more]

WHAT-IFS!

just wanted to say to all rookie teams, particurlarly #308 who seemed a little upset about the outcome at the nationals. don't worry about it. The what-ifs kill everyone and it's exactly what the people who don't understand the purpose of FIRST care about so don't worry, cause in just two years-i've seen and plenty. Broken trantorques, out-of-spec pieces, tipovers, rules violations. but it takes a little luck. But remember luck comes when preparation meets oppurtunity. so just hang on and remember that you all REALLY are winners!

Hey!

I gotta say, this being my first year doing this, it's the most fun I've had in a long time. And the upset thing, maybe a little, but more dissapointed. I know that I'm dissapointed for not making the finals, but hey, I'm just happy that we did as good as we did And to all the teams going to the West Michigan thing, I'll see ya there!

I wouldn't say they've missed the point. I think anyone who doesn't think about the what-ifs after trading in 6 weeks of sleep for a 4 foot tall robot is the one who missed something in this. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great you can be content. I wish it were that easy for the rest of us. We can be proud, but not content.

By the way, I love FIRST and haven't regretted one minute I've spent on this project. I'm just trying to relate to T-308, T-190, T-45, and all the other wonderful teams that got unlucky somewhere along the way.


Thanks FIRST for a great game and I'll see you all next year!
-Daniel

I couldn't have said it better.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am maybe the most competitive guy on the planet. I don't care what I get involved in, I have trouble feeling content about it unless me or my team wins it all. And even then I start to wonder if I did it with good enough style. But anyway, that may be one of my biggest faults at times, but at times it is an asset to me (like when I was in school, I always had to have the highest grade in my class, which was good for my GPA).

We were a little unlucky, but a lot of it was our own fault. I made a post on the General Forum explaining why I'm losing some sleep over this.

But like I said in a post below: we'll bounce back. I don't regret any of the time I spent, and I'll be back next year.
