Geez, now I'm like some all-knowing all-seeing FIRST sage who lives in the moutains waiting for students to venture upwards to my home to ask me if there will ever be a water game....:rolleyes: |

From a coaching standpoint, I can tell you...the coach is NOTHING without valuable scout information. If the coach is nothing, the robot is NOTHING. It all starts from the scouts...get your kids to see this. |

I am not even out of high school, and my foot is already in the door of my dream job. And FIRST got me there. |

How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They'll just say it's a hardware problem. |

The final product, the inspiration, it all that matters. Awards and championships are just bling. |

Instead of arguing about what should have been, learn from the breaks, and celebrate the gracious professionalism being displayed by the other 99% of teams. Word. |

After all, life is what you do outside of FIRST. No wonder it's so short. |

However I did tell my wife I wanted to lose 20lbs of ugly fat quickly. She told me to cut off my head. Go figure. |

The code won't compile if you violate the rules of the programming language...but English is more robust, it seems to work pretty well no matter how we engineering nerds mangle it! |

I saw 2274, a rookie team that had won the regional, gathered around their mentor. He was holding their trophy and saying, "This is what it is all about. Teamwork and cooperation. You guys did great." |

Try to remember, FIRST is like life, it is about the journey not the destination. |

We had an autonomous bug last year . . . Funnily enough, this worked real well and other teams were asking us for this "feature." |

In any case, don't beat yourself up over it. Only 24 teams get to play in elimination rounds. Sometimes you're in the 24, and sometimes you aren't. |

FIRST Championships event is not about winning, its about the experience, the atmosphere, the people and the sites, there are a lot of amazing things to see at The Championships. |

At least try to make sure other teams are aware of you. Don't be obnoxious, but don't be a wall flower either. |

The thrills of a heroic repair, a well deserved award, a compliment on our efforts, the growth of our team members, making new friends.... These can make a memorable and exciting FIRST regional as much as a close match. |
