At the end of the day, every team in FRC has accomplished something amazing in the sculpting of the next generation of leaders. |

The goal isn't to keep the "bad" kids out. The goal is to take the "bad" out of kids, thereby transforming OUR culture. |

It is critical to our continued growth and success to recognize, and to make others realize, THERE ARE NO OPPONENTS. |

It's not about the robot. It's about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. |

A couple of times during our matches, our HOSTBOT had a GAME PIECE right there ready to HANG, but the darn PEG dodged out of the way |

An explanation of the reasoning behind design decisions will almost always result in a more thorough understanding of the solution than analysis alone can obtain. |

from time to time, we all need a good smack to make us see when we screwed up and did something we shouldn't have. |

PS. Never write to a forum when your cat is trying to lie on the keyboard while you type. It made my bad spelling worse. |

From what I've seen in FIRST, teams that copy generally always learn something from it, and if they don't, the copy they produce is of much lower quality than the original. |

You will forever be confronted with choosing between right and wrong, or choosing what you think you can get away with. Which way you go defines what kind of person you are. Choose wisely. |

So yeah I love the minibot because it was a great vehicle to promote our team, make new friends, and possibly make sure a team makes it past their 1st or 2nd year. |

To me, as a student, it doesn't really matter how old the RoboCoach is. My only concern is that they don't get ape-crazy when the game starts. |

Impressive. A harsh reminder of the kind of force that FRC bots exert. |

We were all rookies once, and we really have two ways to go about things: either take a page from the powerhouses and emulate their style, or complain about not having anything and risk falling into oblivion. |

We need to find the female engineering mentors in FIRST and start having them present/co-present technical conferences at the championships. We need to start showing the girls on the teams that there are female engineering "rock stars" to look up to. |

One of the Minbot inspectors at LA asked me how much a switch had to weight before it stopped being a "light" switch and started being a "heavy" switch. |

(You know you're overdosed on FIRST) when watching regional web-casts takes precedent over Saturday morning cartoons. |

There's a fine line between cockiness and confidence. Confidence is one of the major keys to success and happiness in life. As long as one can carefully stay on the right side of the line, staying connfident while remaining humble, and ego can be quite beneficial. |

Are people allowed to go to the roboprom, or just our robots? |

I've never been one for the "you did your best" and other "everyone's a winner" sayings, they don't push you, they don't get you to analyze what went wrong and figure out where to improve. |

Anyways, before we all get worked up over this setup, let's wait and see what details emerge. It can't be as bad as everyone is making it seem. |

We should have a 'Steps Taken For FIRST' contest. Everyone wear a pedometer and keep a log of how many miles you walked at the St. Louis Championship. That could be a lot of fun. Do they make pedometers for robot carts? |

FIRST encourages us to innovate and try new things, lets do the same for them. |

Every single team in FRC has had a rookie season. All those... have stories. Some are sad, some are funny, some are inspiring - but all the teams have stories to be told... Each year is a chapter in the team's history book with stories to be told and shared. |

In the encyclopedia of FIRST under the term Encyclopedia it says - See Joe Ross. |

I frequently summarize the core mission of FIRST as inspiring the smartest high school kids to study science and engineering, so they don't become lawyers. (It's about 70% in jest) |

Experience...you can't buy it, you might be able to get some for free by reading CD a lot, but usually you have to earn it, and it's not always fun. |

We had an autonomous bug last year . . . Funnily enough, this worked real well and other teams were asking us for this "feature." - dragoonex [more]
