This just goes to prove there was life before FIRST (but it wasn't as much fun!) |

Ship dates, rules and deadlines all share one thing in common, they are your friend. |

We should have a rule in CD, no sad booboo faces that make you want to cry... |

geeez....and i was going to say they should knock a week off the build season. |

Automonous - n. the frequent sound made by a team member not wearing a watch. ex: Do you know automonous? |

Profesional Gracism - n. the blessing said before Robotics competitions begin. |

Mess up something important and you lose. Just like real life. |

the entire arena broke into applause when that first robot climbed that first robot ramp. |

The only thing happy about ship day is the promise of sleep coming soon... |

Yeah After we decided not to do autonomous, the robot took matters into it's own hand.
i'd bet it would get it's self DQ'd... or an award. |

I love our bot. I think I want to take it to prom...:D |

In theory, this should work... Oops. |

I remember going to Houston in 1998 and seeing a bot that could move sideways. Talk about inspiring... |

Do you think it's important? Is it actually possible for the students to change the lives of the mentors? |

A game where you don't have control of your robot for long periods of time is no fun (unless, of course you are talking about autonomous :p) |

A mentor doesn't have to win the WFA at a competition to know that they've inspired the team. |

Until we learn to celebrate our differences with great vigor in an earnest way, we won't accomplish what we're supposed to get done. |

Aaaaah! I think my head just exploded from looking at this awesomeness. You guys are great. This is super cool. :) |

Didn't you know? Kids today are born with GPS tracking systems installed so Mom's can look them up on Google Earth wherever they are and also know what they're doing for a living, eating the right foods and if they're dating the appropriate people. |

If anything, I believe Battle Bots is in the best interest of FIRST. Battlebots helps to create an interest in robotics, and FIRST gives us the opportunity to participate in a robotics program. |

I'm not certain that I agree with me on this reasoning, either. |

The phrase "Gracious Professionalism" is being thrown around much too often to try to support anything and everything that a certain individual feels is unjust. |

Wow, what a regional at St. Louis! ... It's gonna be a good year for FIRST. |

The sign applause was definately one of the best moments I had ever witnessed at a FIRST event. Who knew silence could be so loud? |

Competition is only the path that FIRST takes to bring science, engineering, and technology to the masses. |

Listen, my team lost in the finals to that alliance, and I've never suffered a more entertaining arse-kicking. Case closed. |

Of course, someone who can score on all rack levels while hovering autononmously 12 inches off the floor in his own home zone could probably have posted on CD while winning a regional.;) |

I guess it all just goes back to the fact that you need to finish your robot before it goes in the crate. |

Quitting when faced with adversity is not the answer. We have to figure out a solution within the constrainsts applied. |

Regardless of the next course of action, getting steamed and angry will benefit nobody. And coming from me, that has to mean something. |

It's not fair. it's not right, but stuff like this happens. If you don't get picked for finals tomorrow, get in those stands and cheer for those who did. Remember, this is FIRST. |

Mistakes happen. It's how we react to them and what we learn from them that shows what type of people we are. |

I know alot of the rookie teams were helped out alot this year. Do the same thing for the rookie Volunteers as well. |

I say we all stop flaming and pointing out what went wrong or what bad calls were made and start pointing out how much fun we all have at the regionals and what FIRST actually has done for us. |

I've been inspired for real engineering during the build season and on the playing field, but the inspiration I found in the pits is often for creative thinking and intuition. |
