I am a 2-3 year competition veteran, and a new member at chief delphi, and everyone here seems to be as nice as they are at the competition. Very gracious, you might say. |

But frankincense and myrrh will come in handy after your team starts to smell during that first design meeting. |

Before anyone accuses FIRST of being in the pocket of the sponsoring corporations, they might spend a minute and a half to actually apply some of that critical analytical ability that we are supposed to be demonstrating as educated engineers. |

Spouting off without all of the facts is a bad idea. It's also bad to envoke the gods of "Gracious Professionalism" to judge others. |

And then, at the end of the match, the drive teams who are being lifted all say at once (in a GOVERNATOR voice)- "GET TO ZE CHOPPER!!!" |

Mind you, the Q&A forum and competition officials DO take precedence over my opinion. |

The first team that uses a lawyer to interpret the rules should be disqualified from all competitions, just on general principles. |

FIRST will continue searching for rules and procedures to keep us from hurting ourselves. However, none of this will substitute for judicious application of common sense. |

Only time will tell for sure, but it seems that the current software providers are hatching up a pretty good solution to the problem. |

I personally think a large trophy and that warm, fuzzy feeling you get inside is a satisfactory prize for winning a competition. |

[on the 2007 field control software] its crazy -- not only did they sound like the same old sound effects we know and love, but it seemed like they actually occured at the time they were supposed to! :) |

FIRST teams procrastinate and slack off?!?!? The question is, if you do it in a way that keeps your grandmother proud, would that make it "Gracious Procrastinatism?" |

Remember, FIRST is a great opportunity that will get you ahead in the long run but don't forget about the short run either. |

Don't let Dean's homework assignment enter into the equation; his homework is about spreading his organization and has nothing to do with you doing what you want to do. |

Whatever you do though, don't get into an "us versus them" mentality with your mentors. They are there to help. |
