I firmly believe that - those [GDC] committee members I have met, even briefly, certainly have a passion for what they are doing and want to give teams and students the best possible experiences. |

A thread already exists (and boy, does it exist!) on the topic: |

If we miss in autonomous, the team blames the programmer, If we miss in teleop, the team blames the drivers |

Adding an ounce or two of shields is way easier than filling out the mountains of paperwork for that one impatient person to stick their arm into the robot reaching for who knows what only to have their fingers meet up close and personal with a gearbox. |

You can learn just as much from building a small robot as you can from a large bot because all of the key concepts are the same. |

You know you have bad field problems if both Dean and Woodie come out to try to fix them... :) |

This reminds me of a sports bar where there's a bunch of games on different TV's. Only this is better because it's FIRST. :D |

That's one of the saddest stories I've ever heard. When your green isn't neon enough, you are in big trouble in FIRST. |

To put it simply, its clearly become this. The teams that can score a lot, do well. Rather shocking, isn't it? It doesn't matter if you're a shooter, dumper, power dumper, gravity dumper, spitter, flinger, dunker, shumper, barfer, dropper, or whatchamacallit. Points are points. |

Robotics is really preparing us for jobs at NASA. Look. We're past deadline, overweight, overbudget, and our project doesn't even work! |

Count up all the white space in your code sometime and calculate how much weight it adds. |

I trust my life to a 3650 pound rolling chunk of metal every day that, if some silicon failed in just the right (wrong?) way, would splat me pretty quickly, but I have faith in engineering.
On the other hand, it doesn't turn me upside down. |

Surprise! There is no ideal alliance. As soon as you think you have a winning strategy, someone WILL figure out how to beat it. |

If you're in the Chairman's Award just to win the Chairman's Award, you're doing it for all the wrong reasons. The award is there as a goal to strive for, but it shouldn't be the reason why you conduct yourself and reach out to your community and beyond the way you do. |

If you spend the money on a new stadium, you might make a profit. If you spend the money on upgrading school lab facilities, you might inspire someone to make a vaccine for HIV. |

When you score a Supercell on your own alliance it has a tendency to sway a match... |

Then you might have a 1902 (oink oink BOOM) which could result in a 418 (Purple Haze). |

"But from a real life standpoint, that looks like something the evil villains in a superhero movie would use to get around in"
Reading the phrases "real life" and "evil villains in a superhero movie" in the same sentence makes me giggle. |

She must have known that if she declined the invitation to form an alliance that no one else would be allowed to pick her. (But of course, as any happy husband knows... the wife is always the #1 seed!) |

A true form of GP would be to send out a congratulations to all the teams that made it, regardless of whether or not you think they should have. |
