After all, it's not where you are but the people you're with that make it worth while. |

I think FIRST is a big trap. They lure you in with these cool competitions and shiny robots and along the way they trick you into learning something :) |

the best way to make things most unfair is to have different rules for different people. |

FIRST is not about a robot competition . . there just happens to be one at every FIRST event. |

If you have a robot you don't need any more, use it for demos, or let a rookie team borrow it to learn wiring, programming, and demo around their school. |

The propagation of the idea of making FIRST into a perfectly fair competition is just silly. |

I feel that I learned more last year than any previous year because of the challenges we faced. |

Developing new "classes" of super-competition would totally defeat the concepts of info-sharing, partnerships, alliances, etc and create an elitist society within FIRST.

Dean: We encourage kids to learn about science, technology....
Colbert: And does that include creation science?
Dean: .... Well we teach kids to be very creative..... |

OK, I may have heavily influenced their decision, but I would never kill a mentor for not choosing an event I was planning... maim maybe, but never kill! :D |

I always tell newbies that if you build a great team the great robots will follow.

We're 3 pounds over. Drill until the hole saw is too hot to touch, then go find something else to cut off while you wait for it to cool down. |

Jenny - thanks for not beating any of our team members up with their own MOE sticks! That must have taken some willpower to hold yourself back! |

They can either incorporate the suggestions in this thread, go totally against them, or even make us all write code on banana peels with our fingernails. |

I just think that if we are going to have rules intended to level the playing field, they shouldn't hurt teams that put the effort in to go the extra mile. |

in FIRST it's not just about where you finish in the standings but the intangible of inspiration where there is no true or immediate forum of measurement. |

we need a diverse team, and until we can welcome someone that's not a nerd, I don't think we're really successful in our recruiting. |

I have long since given up on these hints, and come to the conclusion that they are designed to befuddle us all and amuse Dave. |

With a little time and practice, I think that most people would find that there is no magic involved in programming. - Dave Scheck [more]
