it should not matter the gender of a person but rather their ability. |

How FIRST is helping: teaching me just how much I can achieve in 6 weeks. |

Due to risk of unforseeable consequences, teams may not initiate a wormhole for the purpose of scoring ringers from past or future matches. |

FIRST prides itself on safety. It shouldn't be limited to only the pit area. |

A challenge to those of you grumbling about the refereeing this year: Be a referee next year. |

FIRST is about so much more than what happens on the field, and sometimes we forget that. |

We call ourselves community/family. We are. Our kitchen table where we gather is the size of Chief Delphi. |

We can't be afraid to critique the existing system. If we don't, how will it ever get better? |

If the refs are not calling something that you think should be called, you have to adjust your play style to deal with it. |

I think I just found a way to replace our entire robot drive team! (no big deal, they are graduating anyway!) :D |

I used to think FIRST was about my learning experiences, but now that I'm out of high school and am a seasoned veteran of FIRST I've realized that this organization is about more than my own enjoyment, it's about the enjoyment of others. |

unless your team is incredibly beastly, completely ignore the words "cool factor". Coolness does not outweigh functionality. |

Your GPA in High School and College is a reflection of your cooperation with educational processes, nothing more. It is NOT a measurement of how much you know or how much you can learn. |

I can tell you that I feel happiest when I am giving or doing for others. I do not expect anything in return but just knowing that I can make things better, in my small way, makes me happy. |

Don't put sprockets in an empty pizza box and then throw it into the garbage. Something we learned from experience. |

Like fishing, some may get away as you are reeling them in, but never letting out enough line to get the big ones at the bottom is just disappointing. |

The fact the FIRST knows no boundaries, either geographic or cultural, is certainly one of our strongest assets as we move toward a changed culture. |

Remember FIRST is "For Inspiration" of all students. It is a little tough to inspire students you won't allow in. |

...FIRST was created to change that world for the better. To presume that FIRST is simply here for your enjoyment is to demote it to nothing more than an expensive game... |

If you never reach out and experiment with different things, you will never have the courage to reach out again. It's only through experiments and experiences where we get to understand ourselves better. |

If I can make one wish, it would be having Dean and Woodie read one of these writings of mine, so I can tell them "I get it! Give me time and give me inspiration, and one day I will be ready to take over the torch." |

One of the cultural concepts that has emerged from the teams participating in FIRST is that ideas are worth sharing. |
Alan Anderson |

The urge to compete tends to drive teams to hold the ideas close during the competition season, but the urge to contribute means they get publicized afterwards. |

I also would not recommend shipping the gerbils with the robot. |

I'm not basing success on winning a regional. Success is learning by building the best system you can. In the engineering industries, the best system is the one chosen. |

...many different kinds of students join our team. Some only have an interest in media, or others in cheering. What is important is that they are having fun while working in an engineering environment. |
