If people played without PDA's back when FIRST had this addiction to nigh-impossible-to-calculate-in-your-head multipliers, then we can play without PDA's now. |

I like the way you are saving weight by cutting out the center of the speed controllers. |

It's possible to do nearly anything with enough resources and ingenuity. |

Teams should make it a practice to protect their Victors (all the electronics, really) from the mechanical folks, with their saws and files and stone axes... |

The real world does not go together like an Erector set. FIRST robots should not either. |

Super Regional? I don't know...if you combine NJ and Philly the universe might tear a hole in itself...and we wouldn't want that now would we? Mwahaha. |

I get in enough trouble mentoring one team. If I did five teams I'd be less one wife. |

I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised. |

I am sad that the Patriots lost, and I am happy for both teams that won...but I am even more thrilled that for the next two weeks robot building in the midwest comes to a standstill. ;) |

if we can't rely on experience and the human mind from time to time, then we're in trouble, aren't we? |

Though, of course, if the old one you like is shot, then you can just beat your new one with a hammer until it works the way you want. |

try to be a little less quick to hit the red rep and a little more informative and helpful. |

The manual can be compared to a textbook in school. If you choose not to use your textbook, you are asking to fail classes. |

You really can't have a bad year. The only way you can is to come out of it and not learn anything. |

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it all. I mean, I know we all get frustrated during build season, but we still need to make an effort to be polite and helpful. |

FIRST is an addiction but at least it is one of the healthiest addictions you can have (if you wear your safety goggles!). |

I am a geek because of FIRST! Seriously, I was reeaalllllyyy boring before robotics. Not mechanically inclined at all. Now I love it! |

In FIRST, you can either have comfortable safety margins or you can have a competitive robot, you can't have both. |

Can we just get over this inane lawyering of the rules and get back to building robots?

We asked the neighbors if we could block the road before we did it. We had the rack out for a couple of hours. They are getting used to us doing odd things during build season. |

You have not only joined a robotic competition, you will discover that you are becoming a member of a very large and wonderful family. The more years that you participate, the larger your FIRST family will become. |

Not all FIRST people are nuts. Some are threaded holes, rivets, velcro, or zip-ties. Anything but duct-tape. |

It's not easy dealing with the reality that others aren't as passionate as we are and that the process may be slower than we want it to be - but it gives me plenty of time to think and prepare. |

I'm thinking they subscribe to the thought that "the best offense is a good defense". They are from New England, after all. |

Scoring ringers is going to be like dating. While a select few will master it with relative ease, the vast majority will need quite a bit of time to refine their skills to an acceptable level. |
