It's very confusing to other people on the message boards when you make things up that are incorrect and assert them as fact. Please don't do this. |

From a mentor perspective we get to see shy, timid high school kids become leaders in there community and that folks is where we really are winning. |

Please look around the forum, I believe this clue is already under discussion and has been overly dissected. |

"The only constant is change" is a hint that probably applies to every season of FIRST. |

Overall I really like the idea, and don't be surprised if I borrow some of these ideas for a future robot. |

I like to divide checklists like this into "stuff I have to do before applying power" and "stuff I'll find faster by watching it fail". |

There are times when we talk as friends and joke around about things like this, but then the most important times are when he says "I'm telling you this as a mentor," no matter what it is, those moments mean a lot. |

Oh great, look what you just did. The GDC will probably find ways to use this to torture teams in 2011. I hope you're happy now. |

GP is a much longer-term investment, yet offers surprisingly high returns. Just like 401(k) plans, the important thing is to keep making contributions even when it seems there's no reward for it. |

Mentors can never receive enough thanks from us students, who don't know even half of what they put into our teams. |

Mostly, however, I find that once the students start building a robotics project, they are too busy learning for me to teach. |

The problem is though, as long as the teams are allowed to work on their robots on Thursday, they will, and they'll never learn to finish it before the event. |

Yes, in human nature we like to get rewarded/recognized for things we do; however, you should not have to rely on this to be "successful". Remember the purpose of FIRST - To change our culture. - tim-tim [more]
