	However, mentoring isn't for you. It's for the others.	Alan Anderson	efoote868
	If regolith ever makes a return, I will jump out of a window.	Oblarg	Whippet
	Glitter… lots of glitter.	Andrew Schreiber	Whippet
	How come so many engineering types don't understand sarcasm? :)	IndySam	Hallry
	You don't want down time during build, eh?	dtengineering	Whippet
	This thread is a reminder to myself that I have 29 more days to sleep. :)	Seth Mallory	Whippet
	It's really quite amazing what people will find time to talk about in the month before kickoff.	Ekcrbe	Hallry
	The less we talk about the game hints the faster they will come.	BrendanB	brandon.cottrell
	Most importantly, get some sleep.	Libby K	DonRotolo

	If it wasn't for 47, none of us would be here.	Taylor	Libby K
	If they ask you to stop - you stop.	techhelpbb	Whippet
	I GET that FIRST is about more than winning on the field. BUT... ...it is my experience that the great programs of the FIRST world almost always build on a foundation of competitive robots. Success on the field begets success in other realms.	Joe Johnson	Billfred
	If the teams that are building exact replicas are inspired, who are we to say "You're being inspired all wrong?!"	Ian Curtis	GCentola
	I fear sometimes as time increases between the present and when someone started, some sight of just how hard it can be to field a functioning robot for a young team is lost.	xForceDee	Tottanka
	Save the frustration for build season. :p	Brian C	Whippet
	I have never before seen the words "smaller" and "Saturn V" used in the same sentence. Wow. :yikes:	DonRotolo	cgmv123
	One of the reasons, we hate being from Hawaii.	waialua359	smarthimandrew

	Beatings will continue until morale improves!	DampRobot	Whippet
	Often when discussing GP, the P half gets forgotten.	Taylor	Whippet
	Sometimes "awesome" is inadequate.	kramarczyk	Whippet
	I wish I were on the GDC, just to watch everyone struggle to grasp the meaning of this.	Brandon_L	brrian27
	For all of you thinking three alliances... how big of a pain would it be to have three different bumper colors?	Jon Stratis	billbo911
	I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we have to displace objects and/or robots in order to score points.	pfreivald	Sean Raia
	The name of the game will be "Conjunction Junction". The robots will be tasked with hooking up words and phrases and clauses. You're welcome.	Travis Hoffman	Hallry
	Using my Little Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Ring, I have determined that the game hint reads: "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"	Jill_ls101	brrian27
	Once you get to college, remember that FRC is not your life anymore (or at least it doesn't have to be). Don't be afraid to try new things, and branch away from the things you swear by in high school	buildmaster5000	Karibou
	Now let's get back onto the original topic! :)	Calvin Hartley	smarthimandrew
	Maybe there's some reason that makes it not that simple...	Cory	smarthimandrew
	Kickoff in Australia is an overnight party!	timytamy	smarthimandrew
	Mmmmm, First Choice day. I can already taste the latency.	ttldomination	smarthimandrew
	Weight down low is a good thing. Weight up high is not.	s_forbes	Whippet
	This is Chief Delphi. We're all crazy here.	Whippet	smarthimandrew
	It's a twitter post. It's not a hint.	Libby K	smarthimandrew
	The 3 probably stands for the number of years this season will take off your life	JohnSchneider	brrian27
	Based on EXTENSIVE analysis of this image, I have concluded that we will have to use wires on our robots. I am certain of it.	theCADguy	Walter Deitzler
	This is probably one of the most important robots in FRC history and it never even was in an official event.	gyroscopeRaptor	Whippet
	rebound rumble didn't really have a lot of rebounding or surprise earthquakes.	Rynocorn	magnets
	Good programmers always find a better way to do something, especially when it's not obvious where those improvements can be found.	Mr. Lim	dubiousSwain
	Pro safety tip: put a string through coil springs that is tied off securely on the robot frame. This will help prevent the spring from jumping out and killing an inspector if it snaps.	Ninja_Bait	Whippet
	It's far easier to find ambiguity in the rules than to write them.	MikeE	George1902
	There is a big difference between "we have not been able to figure out how to do it." and "it's impossible" or "don't even bother." Let's be constructive not discouraging.	PVCMike	Jay O'Donnell
	Push the envelope a little, but not too much. There's a difference between being on the cutting edge and being on the bleeding edge.	cadandcookies	Joseph1825
	Don't worry about someone stealing your ideas...if they're good ideas, then imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If they're lousy ideas, we'll let you know, so you can work on finding a better idea. win-win!	MrForbes	Ian Curtis
