If you find yourself extremely upset, frustrated, angry, or any other term of emotion, please stop and ask yourself why you participate in FIRST. |

Some said the aluminum foil gave the robot a NASA-like quality, but others pointed out that blanketing components with a highly-conductive material that blocked air flow was probably not going to help get us to Einstein. |

Stand scouting allows you to get to know the robot.
Pit scouting allows you to get to know the team. |

IMHO, [the driver's] job is to drive the robot. The coaches job is to monitor everything in a match that isn't your robot. |

Blue shirts are ALWAYS watching. And they have spies everywhere. Always be on your best behavior, and be polite to every volunteer at the event. |

Understand the problem before trying to apply bandaids. You might not even be putting the bandaids in the right spot. |

This reminds me a lot of how millennials are regularly called out for simply being younger and having different perspectives. In the end it's the ones who are calling them out in unprofessional in ways that end up embarrassing themselves and looking uninformed. |

It is not your banners that make you nor the trophies that line your walls. It is the willingness to be brave in the face of defeat and compassionate in the winds of victory that create you. |

Question: How can you tell the difference between an engineer and a programmer?
Answer: You ask them to count. Engineers start counting from 1. Programmers start counting from 0. |

Don't be too distracted by the shiny robots, and the games they play. Enjoy them, but keep your eyes on the real prize(s). |
