I had told my new team this joke: "They procrastinate so much, no wonder they're the Heroes of Tomorrow!", but I guess the joke doesn't have any truth in it anymore. They were really on their game this year! |

I am sorry if something was missed at your regional, it will be checked at this event. |

Hall of Fame FIRST Team 254 has arguably helped more teams become good than any other team in FIRST. I don't think they need a lecture on helping their opponents. |

I still believe that if we are legitimately trying to make FRC be recognized as a real sport, then the GDC must treat it like one. |

Powerhouse teams aren't powerhouse because they build great robots, they are powerhouses because they build great teams. |

In my 30+ year career, one thing I have learned is that if you truly enjoy your work, you'll be good at it. |

Hey Don, if the [Woody Flowers] award doesn't impress the non-FIRST friends and family, just tell them you have your own "inter-web thread" - tell them you are like a Chuck Norris on the internet!!! |

Maybe my brain fog factor has expanded after wading through 1114's competition data sheet, so I cannot see the forest for the trees. |

Team Titanium's trying Teeter Totter Talons tying the terrain traversal tandoming Twin Tucking Tabs to try triples. |

However, I am a firm believer in the theory that if you are pushing with a mecanum wheeled robot you are doing it wrong. |

Redfoo is actually a really awesome guy. He discussed the future of engineering and talked about C++ programming with our software team. |

Hopefully LMFAO will cross paths with FRC71. They've been shufflin' since 2002. |

Honestly, I'd volunteer my team to be on that alliance. It'd be an honor to touch bumpers with those bots. |

I continue in FIRST because I'm not looked down upon for not knowing how to do something, but held up because I want to learn. |

And that's the long and the short of it. |

I do this for the people...the kids, the mentors, and especially, with all my heart, the volunteers. Thank you for all you do. |

And like Woodie told us in his talk, all the bad stuff we anguished over will be replaced by the memories of the achievements and good time we had this year. |

My team is graduating yet another class of great kids who will go into the world capable and focused. And after a decade and a half of FIRST robotics those memories are as treasured as any trophies. |

Would FIRST be as amazing if not for CD? I mean it would still be this amazing place for students and mentors to be but the explosion of innovation and gathering of people together across communities has to have been greatly effected by CD. |

Isn't that the name of the game... Roomba Rumble? |

Next year they should make Roombas the game piece. They're not very effective at vacuuming the rug that's for sure. |

Give a group of engineers the choice of three options, and they'll pick choice number seven. |
