If you are stupid about this and violate the rules, and thereby cause your alliance to lose a match, then your alliance partners will gang up on you and violate your robot. |

Much of what you do in the "real world" has no rules. You have to look yourself in the mirror and make them up as you live; knowing that what you do WILL come back to haunt you sooner or later. |

Is FIRST making it too easy?... yes they are making it easier than years past. But I would also say that does that matter? If students are still inspired to pursue more advanced designs and eventually a career in the technology sector we still have met our ultimate goal. |

The few people who don't ever make mistakes are the same people who simply don't do anything. What people do after they make a mistake tells others what they are made of. |

If you are new to these forums, you might want to observe the discussions a while before diving in with opinions, emotions, and expertise. |

If only more people could have the same attitude toward FIRST as they do toward their fellow teams!

I don't even consider FIRST to be an extracurricular anymore; it is a way of life. |

I just weighed myself and I have gained two pounds since last Saturday. Thats a sign of a good robotics team. |

It's super-ironic that a question about searching was found via searching. Whodathunk? |

FIRST should never come before school and anyone who thinks otherwise is irresponsible and should not be mentoring the kids |

It is not for any other team to say what is beyond a person's or a team's capabilities. That's why they have mentors :-) |

My contention is that there is not a whit of difference between noting that a change like that has to be made, and making the change. |

It would also level the playing field by bringing the bottom up, rather than the top down. |

I think that one of the most fantastic parts about FIRST is that the biggest and most successful teams are also the most abiding to the rules. |

FIRST is about family, making new friendships, belonging somewhere, doing something you love, and finding out what your real love is in life, so when you're old and wrinkly you can look back at high school and say "This is when I found myself." |

If you want to know how to build a more competitive robot, ask. GP demands we tell you, help you, guide you, teach you. |

I then asked if I could use a flux capacitor for power, but that didn't go over too well, either (they did say I could use it for decorative purposes, though). |

When you are at the regional no one cares if you are a rookie. You are a part of the family. |

Dont give up, because that is when you lose what you have. FIRST is the best experience that I have had throughout my entire life and there is no way ANYONE can make me quit FIRST. |

The flux capacitor should have been allowed under the flowchart as long as it met the single component maximum cost. I did check with Digikey and they no longer carry the line. |

The great thing about autonomous mode is that it doesn't require any additional effort from anyone else on your team... (You could do that yourself...but I've noticed that people will usually offer to do it for you, rather than let the programmer touch power tools.) |

Uh .. The CMU cam still needs some tuning. It was more attracted to the trees and the green panels on the fence than the actual vision tetra.
