You can build bridges, or you can burn them. The choice is yours. |

when answering a question you throw out other teams names (thunder chickens and killer bees)...and a distinguished guest raises his hand and asks if he heard right when I said thunder chickens and asks for an explanation of what a thunder chicken is. |

See, another reason for going--you can find out your chances of being thrown off the field for a safety violation! |

At first, "water game" was funny. Then it went to silly. Now it's just dumb. Not to mention unrealistic for FIRST. |

We can't all be Dean. But with the right attitude and preparation, we can make careers out of our passions. |

I am also impressed that you maintained the integrity of your parentheses; you must be a software guy... |

Yep, after all, when life gives you lemons, make a robot to pit and squeeze them, purchase sugar, cups, water, and ice and make lemonade!! |

The closest and strongest friendships that I have formed, however, have come from the FIRST robotics program. Friends that I can call “brother,” that I can call “sister,” that I can just call “family.” |

You know you are addicted to FIRST when you have trouble describing it because you realize it truly is way more than just a robotics competetion. |

You can't lose if you submit an animation. Even if you don't win an award, your team wins by just doing it. |

Do you guys mind if we postpone kick-off to around January 26 or so? We can still keep the ship date on February 20, if that isn't a problem. |

so, i want the clue now, okay? is it bad that i am more interested in this years game than i am in taking my finals next week? |

Oh, for the love of cod, can't you see that Dave is messing with us just for the halibut? When the actual clue comes out, I'm sure we'll all be singing a different tuna. |

Now stop reading CD, do your homework, eat your peas, brush your teeth, and go to bed. Any time you spend speculating as to what Dave's ravings might mean is completely wasted. |

FIRST like life is what you make of it, if you would rather go through FIRST worrying about what other teams do to make their robots, then your destined for disappointment. if you go through FIRST making the most of it doing the best you and your team can then it doesn't matter what other teams do. |

there should be a continuous cascade of knowledge spilling over to the less experienced team members and and continuous upward flow of members gaining experience. |

There was no real separation between who did what. "we" did it all and it was fun. |

I wouldn't recommend using steel because it will eat up your weight budget pretty quickly. |

But no matter how you place, the thing to watch for is the character change in the team members. The trophies are only important for a few hours. The character that is built will last a lifetime. |

I wonder how many games we could come up with that are not the one for FRC 2008. |

The weight sounds about right, too. If you need more than 65 pounds for your manipulator, then the drivetrain isn't the part you should be redesigning... |

Many people here in the CD fora know 'someone' on the inside. They aren't out there somewhere, they are here among us and they won't give an inch regarding the clues. It's very cool. |
