Do I think the bar is too high? I think impossible dreams and lofty goals are a key part of FIRST; the "top" being extremely far away only pushes people farther. |

And the rest of the team helped them, encouraged them, and made a big deal about how awesome it was that we were competing for the Chairman's Award. |

But their robot puts its wheels on one at a time just like ours, so we can be a HOF winner too! |

If I was a balding man, and Dean Kamen signed MY head, I'd immediately make my way to the nearest tattoo parlor and have them make it a permanent fixture. I wouldn't have washed it off! Just saying. |

Anyone else think we're (including me) a little obsessed? The seasons over and were already onto the next one. |

Continuous improvement turns good to great. Continuous tinkering can lead to inconsistent behavior and headaches. |

changing some 0 to 1s was a lot lighter and cheaper than most of the clutches I found. |

If you want to have other teams cheer for you all day long at competition, name your team "Robot Coming Through". |

Look at the problem and find the simplest solution. Don't look at a solution and try to find a problem to solve with it. |

That sounds like PONG. For you youngsters, that was the first video game available for the public to play. |

And whether or not we are awarded in the course of the season, at its end our team will look back, and we’ll look at one another, and we will wonder how we were able to accomplish what we did. |

Sometimes you have to eat your vegetables, do your homework, and get some sleep. Otherwise you may get sick, have bad grades, and or fall asleep during the championship. |

Eliminate the scavenger hunt, stop updating the software every two seconds, and make sure your examples and tutorials work. That will help a majority of the people I feel. |

All the gangstas in FRC have solid gold CRios. It's called "blingage". If you don't have a solid gold CRio, you're not a straight-up G. :D |

My code mentors once told me, "A good programmer can look at a library, decide he hates it, and code everything from scratch. An amazing programmer can look at a library, decide he hates it, but realize the time it will save him and learn to use it." |

However, the skill of calculating things by hand and sketching by hand is something that we should continue to teach the youth (until my netbook can run Inventor :D) |

Consider how nature does this, and emulate. Nature usually has a pretty good algorithm. |

It doesn't matter if you write a thousand lines of code for a robot, if you didn't teach and/or inspire the HS students as you did it then you are not a mentor. |
