Still waiting for the "GDC Member" position to open up. Got my resume all set for that one. |

My students want me to confirm if they're only allowed one submission per team? (Apparently they've gotten a sudden wave on linguistic inspiration...) |

I for one think this kind of robot "love" is absolutely inappropriate for children and both teams should have been condemned for such graphic displays. |

Gracious Professionalism, it's hard to describe, but I sure know when I'm not living up to it. |

If we're engineers, I feel we shouldn't be content with the what without the why... |

There is something completely respectful and amazing to see FIRST teams who have members go through 4 years of the program without winning a single competition or even a single award. Those are the teams that are looked at by others and respected for what they do. |

I predict the champion drive teams at each event of the 2011 season will consist of vertebrates. |

It's never been about the robots. But the robots make an interesting misdirection that we all use. So its ALL about the robots. :rolleyes: |

By "resources" do you mean money (sponsor or school), school support or permission, build facilities, or mentors? All of these require different solutions. |

Not all current students are math dummies. Not all 1960's students were math geniuses either. |

We just need to make engineering an interesting everyday thing, as visible as art exhibits or concerts or football games. |

Go figure that by teaching you end up learning a lot through the process. ;) |

We need to train teams from the very beginning to become self-sustaining...
so we can offer a full experience to FIRST students... |

KISS does not mean that your goals and capabilities are "simple", it means that the way you achieve them is simple. |

It is NOT possible to fail within FIRST.
It IS possible to fail within the competition (whatever your criteria for failure may be). |

When it comes to FIRST (you've all heard the cliche) -- we're all winners.
When it comes to the competition: to the engineering design challenge, we're NOT all winners -- some solutions are better than others. |
