Robots aside, how we handle these situations, communicate with one another, resolve differences and potential conflict, and overcome obstacles defines us all as people. Remember the big picture and have fun. |

You see the learning experience doesn't stop during construction. It goes on to competition or to everyone who looks at a picture on delphi, who studies the bot and says I like how they did this or I woulda changed this a bit. |

We like playing with power tools, stripping wire, or just stripping for alliance partners... |

We treat productive freshmen the same way as everyone else. As for excesively ambitous new people, we have one rule:what happens in the hotel, stays in the hotel... ;) |

we learned that's what happens when you start building without even thinking about weight. next year, we'll lighten everything BEFORE we mount it. |

Here is one really important thing I learnt this season:
If you do it for yourself, you ain't gonna make it. If you do it for you're team, You'll make it. |

This season, I learned that I will need a whip next year for keeping the electronics and pneumatics groups on schedule. |

Edison was once asked "how do you come up so many good ideas?" to which he responded "for every good idea, I have 99 bad ideas first." |

Arguing about the rules doesn't change them. Fighting doesn't change them-and neither does feeling righteous. |

Team spirit is not all about the tools/noise makers. The Tigertrons didn't have any sort of noise makers. Consider other aspects of the award by making signs, mascots, cheers, and how you interact with other teams. |

Remember the volunteering is not mandatory for the people to do it. It IS mandatory if FIRST is to survive and the regionals to leave a positive impact on everybody. |

The part I like best is your method of transfering the torque via the balls. Very elegant. |

...sitting immediately behind Chief Delphi is a bad idea. I like the team and all, but they've given me a massive headache...They've got too much spirit. |

That's right 10 years and this is the first time ever that the school wanted anything to do with the FIRST team. |

But that is not all-FIRST is about teaching mentors what kids are like all over again. It's about closing the generation gap, creating bonds, life time friends, and skills that will last everyone involved a lifetime. |

After the norovirus outbreak at VCU, we had our entire team sterilized. Oh, wait, that doesn't sound right... |

If we succeed, we succeed as a team
if we fail, we fail as a team
but either way, we are a team - we go home together
and celebrate our accomplishments, whatever they are
and try to learn from our mistakes. |

Just remember, FIRST isn't about the robot, just have fun, meet new people, and try to learn something new. Killing yourself with inhumane amounts of pressure just isn't fun for anyone.
