So remember, we may be envious of teams who can do water jet cutting and has every possible monetary and engineering advantage, but there are many more people who are envious of every team who has a chance to compete. |

If you have a problem with a team, go to that team and address it with them. Don't air your slanderous opinions here for all to see. |

Well I have to admit, most of the people on our team are geeks. I think that it's a title of honor considering it might as well be "boss" or "head supervisor" or something along those lines. |

You can expect to see the the same old same old again this weekend! Another set of fantastic experiences for thousands of kids across the country. And once again, Mission Accomplished. |

As far as we know, FIRST could replace football by 2018! |

I remember...my first nationals in 1998, when I was in High School, and thinking "Wow, that's really cool. Engineering looks fun..." |

What seems logical to you will seem strange to someone else. Never assume that someone else will do the logical thing. |

It certainly shows to never give up, even if all you can do is score a single tetra. |

What really matters is what you got out of the FIRST season, and how you can use it to build on what you know.

You will find friends among all FIRST students who will become very good friends of yours, will care and help you with anything that you need help with. This is my personal opinion, If you are hooked, dont ever let it go. |

GP makes us all on one and the same team. They understand that in order for any of us to succeed, we need to help out where we can. It is why you will see so many other teams helping a team with a failing robot, buggy software, team strategy, etc. |

keep making a difference out there everyone...slowly but surely everyone will catch onto FIRST and then the world will be a better place :) |

Although I don't agree with the ref's call...we accept it because a ref's call is a final call. |

Tell them your newfound passion for FIRST as a program, and let them know all you're doing is getting more involved to broaden your FIRST horizon |

Okay, okay, I'll bring your Krispy Kremes to the Championships ... I bought them right after the '03 Championships ... I'm sure they are still in the attic |

Now, I either need to convince Mike Martus to start the webhug early (or move it back 1 hour), skip the webhug, miss the first part of the presentation, or just clone myself. |

After talking with the students on these teams I could see the light in their eyes. These were their robots! Inspired? That would be a definate YES! |

To think that one can "learn" engineering in 6 weeks while under the strain of building a robot too is proposterous. FIRST isn't about teaching. It's about inspiring.

Any FIRST pit is my favorite because that means I'm enjoying a FIRST competition so I'm just plain happy anyways. |

This is about more than building a robot, we cannot only do the fun things. If you are fully involved than you will be prepared to do anything in life. |

Dave Lavery, Lou Rosanio and Karthik are all Woodie Flowers winners this year. So mentors it seems like if ya want the WFA it might be a good idea to put on a kilt :) |

It's a club if you have a bunch of people who hang out and do nothing - It's a team if all you all work together and cooperate to win. |

I feel there really is only one team, and the name of that team is FIRST. |

Successful FIRST team members know they always can improve themselves, not just as a FIRST team, but as people who can offer something of value to society.

If you promote not only the growth of your own team but of other teams at other schools you are successful. |

FIRST is not about lowering the bar to those with the smallest expectations, but helping helping all teams exceed the standards set by the best. |

Frankly, I love CD and everything it stands for. I've made more friends from this forum alone than I ever expected to meet in FIRST. I'd give just about anything to keep this system up, upgraded and going on long into the future. It's not even enough to show my thanks and gratitude. |

A lot of students decribe FIRST as the best thing that happened to their life. Once a student gets hooked, they don't want to leave FIRST for any cause. I am one of them. |

I feel that the only friends I have ever had are people I know through FIRST. Being on a team gave me the sense of belonging that I thought I didn't even need. FIRST has given me a great life that I never thought I would have. |

P.S. - Don't eat spicy food before a match, or a marathon of matches like eliminations. It never ends well. Trust me. |

I don't know how much of a safety factor chain manufacturers build into these ratings. I've got empirical evidence to demonstrate that it's not 5, however. |
