Build the wrong robot that aims well or build the right robot that can't aim.... decisions, decisions.... |

TL;DR: The robot battery (and your car battery) aren't going to electrocute you unless you stab a positive and negative wire from them into your heart. In which case you have plenty of other problems besides. |

Is CAD essential to all teams?
No, but neither are power tools. |

At every event I've seen this year, there has been at least one robot that left a part on the field. Even some of the robots have decided they don't want to play and this year and made a break for it in autonomous! :yikes: |

Making even just one person feel safe and included in FIRST is how we know that we have succeeded. |

There are "Problems", and then there are "Solutions". Understand the Problem, and keep your mind open to alternative solutions. Don't get married to a Solution. |

FIRST is NOT just about robotics. It is about the growth of leaders - of Gracious Professionals... |

After all, when any student is isolated because of a difference - because of race, gender, social beliefs, or ideological concepts - we all lose. |

I will read this blog, read your stories, learn from you, and be a better mentor because of you. You give me hope. Your diversity brings me joy. |

Pros of living in California from a Canadian standpoint:

The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. |

My mom's cousin heard from her friend who heard from her brother who heard from his barber who heard from his son that his teacher told him that his father's brother's sister's former roommate heard from Frank himself. |

Curse those filthy wrench-swinging rivet-popping screw-driving hammer-smashing mechanical barbarians. Hand over the robot to the programmers! |

I want my students to learn passion. I want them to care so much about what they are doing that they infect other people with it... be that FRC or anything else. |

I never wanted to be a teacher.
This was the year I learned that I am one. It turns out mentors are teachers. Oops. |

Teams need to make 'don't be a jerk' a part of their culture, and that culture needs to be explained to the parents who travel with you |

IMO the main idea behind FIRST is for the mentors and students to work together to produce a machine that the students could never have produced on their own. |
