Look, it's only August. You got approximately 6 months to enjoy your life until season starts. Enjoy it while it lasts... |

If you do mentor FIRST, be an asset to your team, but know that your students will admire you all the more if you set an example and finish your own homework. |

As far as I am concerned, the quality of an electronic device is directly proportional to the number of blinky lights on it. |

You will find that most people in good companies are real people that share the same values and concerns as all of us. |

Exercise, eat properly, work hard, live hard, play hard, laugh hard, inspire people, solve problems.
And leave the world around you a little better place than you found it. |

Based on my experience coaching basketball and robotics, there is no doubt in my mind that if a sports coach receives $x then a robotics coach should, too. |

Define "surgery". I think we have enough close calls with "surgery" as it is. Thank god for disable dongles. |

Of course just because there is are existing solutions to a problem does not mean there aren't better ones. |

You pick the best person for the job whether they are black, white, asian, hispanic, female, or male; NOT so you 'look good' when they publish your team picture in the school paper, but because they can get the job done right, on time, with a passion. |

I've had parents tell me I'm a great role model for their daughters, because I was a female leader. It's a great feeling to hear something like that. |

I'm 5'5", and I'm our team's drive coach. Our drivers are nearly always taller than me. In my case, it's not the driver's station that needs to be made of lexan...it's our drivers. |

Of course, every team in FTC should be asking the magic question: "What would Simbotics do?" |

Sorry- therefore IOU 1 Battery- you can collect it on I-95 about 1 mile south of exit 13A in the center lane...... (ps- of course that battery is "free of charge") |

We also had a couple of student leaders emerge from this offseason Rumble, which can do nothing but help the team in the upcoming FRC season. |

It would appear that your PLTW teacher succeeded in tricking you into learning something after all. Teachers are sneaky that way! |

This thread should surface like this before every new season. It is motivating and inspiring. And jawdropping. |

Naw, basketball isn't nearly as great a sport as FRC. They play for the money. We play for honor, dignity, and respect. |

I believe that those who have a clear understanding of their capabilities, both physical and financial, and design and build within those capabilities are the teams that succeed. |

In real life, I use almost nothing I learned from football except that with a bit of hard work you can get somewhere. Oh, and I have bad knees on top of that. I could have (and wished I would have) learned that from a FIRST FRC team instead. |

And I have to say, those days where you are just beating yourself, and smacking your head against the wall, and you just wish the robot would catch fire so you could go home, make the top of the mountain that much sweeter. |

Have you ever found yourself staring at a physics problem, not understanding it, then connected it to a past FRC game and suddenly felt the light bulb start shining? |
