There is a very fine line between passion and emotion, sometime it gets crossed. Let's not confuse the two. |

The world isn't made out of Nerf, you will get scrapes and bruses, but you will get back up and continue on. If you watch out you can avoid the sharp edges.

One career isn't really more prestigious than another; not in and of itself. More than anything it depends on what you do with it. |

But really, FIRST attracts all kinds of people; nerds, geeks, dorks, preps, techies, PR people, financial persons, etc. |

I know FIRST is all about changing society. But my approach is one person at a time. |

by the way when someone calles me a dork or geek, i tell them to look up dork and geek in the dictionary, and that i would rather be called nerd :) |

... the team that *DOESN'T* design things in the offseason for prototyping and testing will always be at a much bigger disadvantage. |

I am all for high school sports, but as Dean continually preaches, we sometimes are not putting enough emphases in the right places. |

A well-designed shifting transmission, controlled by an experienced driver (or a clever bit of software), is an advantage. |

My experience in FIRST has taught me that, whatever you do, make sure that no single failure can eliminate half your drive system.[...] The worst feeling in the world is having your robot driving around in circles when there is critical business to be done on the playing field. |

For example an iron block is very simple and very robust. Strap a control system on it and it will meet the requirements of being a FIRST robot. However, it sure doesn't do very much, nor is it innovative. |

They see us come into school looking like zombies, and they know that some people start smelling like chain lube and such...but for the most part, they don't realize that for a lot of us, there is a deep commitment to our team that we do a very large amount of work for that team. |

But then again, no one's robot ever is fully working to how they want it before the first tournamant. |

It doesn't make a team better if they have just one sponsor or if they have 100 sponsors. However, you should commend a team who struggled to pay the bill with a list of sponsors one hundred long for showing their strength, perseverance and love for participating in the FIRST robotics program. |

In my opinion, leaders do not need to be picked. They naturally emerge as time goes on and as more opportunities are presented to them. |
