Pursue your passion whatever that may be and do not fault another for pursuing theirs. |

Where's the "drill enough weight holes so we're barely under 120lbs" option?

Incidentally, this is a good example of why lawyering the FIRST rules is good practice for the real world. By critically analyzing FIRST's errors, you practice for the day when you need to critically analyze legislators' errors (and deliberate trickery). |

FIRST is a pretty decent microcosm of real life,
those who work hard, accomplish more
decent lesson to learn, and FIRST is allowing us to learn it. |

Like my programming class teacher has said multiple times: "Stop complaining on reddit about your code not compiling and actually fix it". |

Its great for us as mentors to see students teaching other students and a robot being built from scratch without us. Maybe someday they won't need us at all!!! |

An FRC team's success should not be measured in how many robots it can build or how many blue banners it can collect. It should be measured by how many engineers (and other professionals) it 'builds'. |

First of all, please remember that while we often focus on winning the Chairman's Award, that it is the effort to win that matters. No one "loses" RCA... if you've worked your butt off all year in the spirit of the award, then you've already won before you even get to the regional. |

According to a recent study, 63% of teams admit they are behind. The other 37% are lying. |

It means Dave Lavery isn't on the Game Design Committee this year. If he were, you probably would have found a banana instead. |

I think there are a ton of teams that would kill for one let alone three engineering mentors (especially one with the knowledge and experience that Rich Olivera has). |

We will be stressed, we will be angry. But we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard, we need to be role models and inspirations to students. |

We have put our [robot] on a treadmill. It should shed those excessive pounds and be in shape to compete.:) |

I'm not sure why, but I'm getting this picture in my head of a bunch of engineers, huddled in deer blinds with 22's, waiting for the right power wheels toy to drive by. |

My strongest FIRST memories, and the teams that leave the biggest impact on me, are teams that seem like they have every reason to give up, but never do. |

To anyone who is discouraged about their team, don't let yourself get down. I've seen my team go from having a robot that barely moved (and I'm not kidding, we had keys falling out of gearboxes) to this year with a robot that is ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK. Don't lose hope, stick with FIRST! |
