FIRST is supposed to prepare you for a focused career in your subject of interst, and help you manage your time and resources effectively. |

last year I wanted to electrically charge our frame, then cover the whole bot in tape and say it was for insulating purposes. Then I settled down and read the rule book. |

The honor from any given job is not so much what you are doing, but how you do it; the hardest working garbage man deserves more honor then the laziest super hero. |

Nominate your mentor for WFA, it's the best way to say 'Thank You'. |

My only question is, Can your robot place tetras and deliver Krispy Kremes to team mentors in autonomous mode? |

When I see stuff like that, sometimes I say, "That's BRILLIANT, why didn't I think of that?" But I never like the answer.

People were learning left and right. 14-year olds knew what a pitch diameter is... cool stuff.

A person is not defined by what mistakes they make, but more so by what they do after they realize their mistake. |

I'd like to thank FIRST for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I've learned so much! |

yesterday we completed our bot mechanically and let me tell you.... i was jumping up and down like a 12 year old girl going to a boy-band concert |

This isn't a science fair, sometimes it's okay to give away the answer, especially if they learned something on the way there. |

You can't simply bring another 100 teams into FIRST and have them all asking Andy Baker questions. |

I expect you to make mistakes and need help constantly. Just be sure each time you come to me, it's a new mistake and a different kind of help you need. This way I know you're growing. |

A mentor, by definition, provides a nuturing environment and, over time, makes themselves progressively unnecessary. |

FIRST definately holds the key to my heart...and everything that goes with it (except maybe the evil chop saw in the basement) |

Teach them to fish by catching the first fish for them. (Give them the answer, but also give them how you came to that conclusion) |

When you are able to get inside their heads, you will either... or.. B) Learn way to much, and end up running away screaming. - Either way, it'll be a learning experience. |

Given a choice between giving a man a fish and teaching him to fish, you always want to teach them to fish. But sometimes that involves showing him how to put the worm on the hook first. |

A wise man told me a few nights ago, that it is important to own up to all your mistakes, so that others can see you doing that and wont deny and try to hide their own. |

None. Ours is anorexic at the moment. Lets see if the building people can come up with a simple tetra-knockdown mechanism. |

I walked out to the area where the robot was getting ready to move, and there's no room near the robot. I look again, and realize it's all students. |

I want to take a moment to thank every single FIRST mentor on behalf of all the FIRSTers (students) out there, for giving us the best we can get. |

Just wondering what types of food you have been living off of while working on your robot? Our team has had pizza almost 3-4 times a week or more. Just wondering.

At this point (after shipping the robot), I'm really looking forward to doing laundry, eating a square meal, and getting to bed at a reasonable hour. |
