Show me the mentor who has never built a bad robot and I'll show you either a new mentor, a liar, or Andy Baker. |

Justin Bieber says "US FIRST" rather than just "FIRST". The irony. |

This special is supposed to promote science, not convert the world to gracious professionalism (though that wouldn't be such a bad idea). |

At first blush, people don't need to know about GP any more than they need to know gear ratios, screw classifications, or LabVIEW. It's about Inspiration. It's about Recognition. It's about Science and Technology. That's all it's For; any more than that is just gravy. |

People don't have to "get" it. They just have to know about it. Once they know about it, then they come to it, experience it, talk to it, learn it, then get it. |

Coaxial swerve modules with a suspension and differential aren't normal. But on Winnovation they are. |

If Will uses the word "dope", doesn't wear a larger FIRST logo, takes up half of the St. Louis arena, if there was not enough seating in the pits, if the music was killed during finals, it was all justified tonight. |

"If two kids from every school who would otherwise have been uninterested in technology watched this special tonight and was inspired to learn more, then the world just changed because of it." |

New mentor joins one team and ends up impacting several in the same region. I like that. :) |

[Programming a swerve drive] It's really really simple, unless you actually do it. |

It doesn't seem hard, but it is. You can do it with enough time, dedication, and skill, but that doesn't stop it from being hard. |

I wonder if we sang songs to Bill Miller if that would get TIMS opened sooner, like the way it worked to wring game hints out of Dave Laverly. |

I hope FIRST hurries up and releases the regional schedule soon. I have a vacation schedule to plan. |

And the only thing that can really measure that is when you look a kid in the eye, say "We've got a problem..." and you see them smiling, "Bring it on." |

If this information is not 100% correct, you should follow the default advice I have for when anything goes wrong: Blame the Programmers |

Differentiating based on any superficial criteria (gender, race, or other demographic) only serves to reinforce the false idea that they matter. |

If your goal is to win matches... Pick the most capable candidate. If your goal is to change lives... Sometimes you pick those that need the most change. |

[when asked where to learn about robot parts] ...some forum called Chief Delphi. I hear the people there are pretty knowledgeable about this robotics thing. |

A good thing to do when thinking about designs like this, ask yourself "what do I gain?" |

I was dragged to the first team meeting in September my freshman year and a week later, found myself at Fall Classic. Needless to say, after experiencing the heat of a competition, I was in love. ... Robotics has become far more than just that. I get to do the coolest thing in the world. |

Including the Kinect in the kit a parts is actually an evil plan. The programers are going to spend all their time playing with the Kinect. In competition the robot is just to sit there because it will not have a program. :ahh: |
