	And people laugh at me when I suggest 14" wheels.	Munchskull	Whippet
	People do amazing things for stuff the have a passion for.	Foster	Whippet
	Most of the people who fit the profile of long tenured FIRST mentor are either already on a team or locked up in an institution where they belong...	PayneTrain	Billfred
	Being in FIRST and putting the focus on the robot is like building a robot and putting the focus on the bandsaw (or mill or lathe, or whatever you do your machining with). The robot is a tool we use to play the game, the game is a tool we use to inspire and teach.	GeeTwo	Whippet
	Is there anything more inspiring than inspiration? The answer is no; there is not.	Jared Russell	Hallry
	I do know a lot of teams need to be saved from themselves.	Karthik	Whippet
	You're on a team, weren't you taught Gracious Professionalism? It doesn't only apply to competitions, it applies to the real world.	Zac Schofield	CadetGizmo
	The reason I care about it is that I don't want minorities (whether that's females or other racial minorities) to see the STEM world as only inclusive of majorities or men.	Monochron	Karthik
	No robot left behind!	M. Mellott	Whippet
	First thing I do after the kickoff broadcast is start typing in my credit card number...	sanddrag	the programmer
	Also you NEVER need to apologize for asking questions. Asking questions is how you learn.	akoscielski3	Abhishek R
	Commence the year of the brown out!	Jared Russell	RyanCahoon
	It truly is a Merry Vexmas!	Ginger Power	Whippet
	Wait...engineers have personalities?	Mark McLeod	cadandcookies
	Wow I am old. How did that happen?	Paul Copioli	Chak
	Introverts can be good leaders too, we just lead differently.	Ari423	MechEng83
	Physics is weird sometimes, this is why we prototype.	Andrew Schreiber	GreyingJay
	Blue Nitrile Tread is the best smelling wheel tread. #thingsyoufigureoutat2AM	Ginger Power	marshall
	In a game full of tanks I think the Jeeps will win the all-terrain battle.	JesseK	Whippet
	Good story telling and animation know no age limits.	BMiller2559	Whippet
	Which puts us precisely where we were six months ago, but slightly more entertained.	cadandcookies	Basel A
	[how to read the rules] Slowly, carefully, word by word, taking your time as if it was the last corndog of the summer.	Foster	Richard Wallace
	Your attribute of personal sacrifice is very noble, but FIRST needs YOU to be successful first.	DanKein	Karibou
	If you want to win, steal from the best, invent the rest.	Michael Corsetto	frcguy
	FRC is not worth giving up your grades.	Gregor	GeeTwo
	It's official: we've run out of things to talk about.	Jessica Boucher	Jon K.
	[This year's game manual contains] 46 new pages of pictures displaying how to attach bumpers, assuring at least 15% of teams almost get it right this time.	PayneTrain	Whippet
	I put the encrypted manual file onto a 5-1/4" floppy disk, so I'll have it with me when I go to the kickoff event and pick up the kit.	MrForbes	MikLast
	Moat confirmed, he was only mostly wrong	swnylm	Qcom
	Maybe if we get lucky [the GDC] will just say chute door.	IronicDeadBird	Whippet
	If that due diligence shows that a real need for action exists, then grab the pitchforks, and light the torches.	gblake	Collin Fultz
	Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but you don't know why. On our team, theory and practice comes together. Nothing works and nobody knows why.	CalTran	logank013
	I don't care if you use hot dogs for wheels. If you're scoring points, and you fit the strategy, it's fine.	evanperryg	sportzkrazzy
	10:50PM, 1/14/16: I predict that hot dog wheels will grace Einstein before Mecanum wheels will. You heard it here first.	CalTran	Whippet
	I design gears and gear boxes for a living. I am HAPPY to write a check and have a solution in mailed to me.	Joe Johnson	CalTran
	I remember eating dinner once. Long before Build season. Now, we only eat aluminum swarf and disappointment.	BeardyMentor	Amanda Morrison
	If it were easy it wouldn't be worth triple the points, right?	SenorZ	aryker
	The real world doesn't snap together easily.	Joe G.	Whippet
	I check Chief Delphi more often than I check Facebook and Twitter combined. It's probably unhealthy actually...	Ginger Power	Chak
	However, I think the laws of physics indicate that doing so is going to be very difficult at best.	EricH	CalTran
	They are "Human Dream and Inspiration Enablement Devices" but since that takes too long to say and explain I use the word "robot".	Foster	GreyingJay
	They are "Human Dream and Inspiration Enablement Devices" but since that takes too long to say and explain I use the word "robot".	Foster	Brian Maher
	And if you are unhappy about me using "robot", let me break your heart over what we've done to the word "cheesecake".	Foster	asid61
	FIRST robots definitely meet many commonly agreed upon definitions of robots. Some will disagree. Good for them. In my opinion, it's not worth arguing over.	Mikell Taylor	Amanda Morrison
	A 823543:1 reduction should be fine if you ever need to pick up a truck...or a house.	Tim Sharp	Heburn
	Why climb up to the scaling rungs when you can move the entire field down to your robot's height?	marcusbernstein	billbo911
	Give me enough gearboxes and I'll move the world.	SenorZ	itsjustjon
	Let this be a lesson to everyone to never make changes to manufacturing drawings without issuing a new rev of the drawing itself...	Cory	Amanda Morrison
	Doughnuts would probably be a pretty good alternative to churros. However, that could be open to debate.	Calvin Hartley	frcguy
	Own your words.	Joe Johnson	Amanda Morrison
