If you are old then our lead mentor is ancient. Oh wait, he is. Oh wait, that makes me ancienter. |

This year it is what it is and, at some point, we will all find out what that is, specifically. |

math and physics save a lot of money!!! Pay attention in school - this is why your teachers are torturing you with this stuff. |

I'm sure FIRST did the math. They always do the math. Just not math humans use. It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it. |

Minus the one time when our Autonomous mode actually reversed, ran into the robot behind us, and lodged them into the rear wall |

Well our closest regional is a Hawaii, it's a bit hard for us to drive 8000km (5000 miles) across the pacific... |

[Don't] celebrate mediocrity and want the losers to have an equal chance? Please. Work your butt off for six weeks, keep doing it until you have taught yourself how to be excellent, and go and instead of waiting for a handout. |

How many computer programmers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Woah, no. That's a hardware problem. |

According to that logic, Engineers would say there will be twice as many spectators as needed, and we all know that's not the case! |

As guests in the city, we should make an effort to do some fundraising for the folks affected by the storm. Any ideas out there? |

You shouldn't have to apologize at all for wanting to have fun. This is supposed to be fun. You shouldn't gauge your level of enjoyment at the event based on your place in the standings. |

The FIRST program is different. It has a different purpose. It isn't superficial, it's results are long term and lasting.
I hope that FIRST is still on message. |

I think it's pretty cool that the Black Eyed Peas and other celebrities are willing to take up their time to come celebrate science and technology with us. |

By far, the worst thing about it was the severe lack of cowbell. There was no cowbell what so ever. Had there been cowbell that would have completely changed everything for me. |

When Dean says it's not about the robot he really means it. We're gonna get a speech whether we want it or not and of we complain we'll get even more. |

I would rather Andy Baker be at champs than Will.i.am. |

If you don't have a butt to fill that seat, you don't need it. When the butt arrives, we'll make room. |

But now we know what's inside Shaun's backpack!

I saw a big opening in the bees section and asked if we could sit for this match and was told we were welcome to sit there. Your team made space for about 15 of my team members that came with me. |

Hasn't that always been the mission of FIRST? Don't settle for what works; strive for what amazes. |

Making GP a rule would be the equivalent of making a law that says you have to help get kittens out of trees. |

Being called coach for the first time by some of my team. My dad was a football player and when I told him that story he teared up a bit. Me? A Coach? |
