FIRST is a community unlike the public at large, with the distinction lying on its gracious professionalism. I have no doubt that the community will continue to uphold and cherish this unique characteristic through difficult events such as this. |

Everyone builds their robots uniquely, runs their teams differently, and prefers all kinds of flavors of ice cream. Now, we are seeing that folks vent and react differently to a frustrating situation. ... and that's ok. |

assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the

"Individual": I am the FMS. I don't want to talk to you.
Robot: FMS, is this true? I still have stuff for you.
Actual FMS: No, what gave you that idea? Are you feeling ok?
Repeat.
Field Monitor: FTA! We need a counselor! |

Dash Board: Robot, did you get that data yet? Hello?

Engineering is so much easier when you give all the components personalities. Then you just watch the drama unfold and try to fix it. |

It's easy to get overwhelmed. Don't get overwhelmed, just keep working at things a little bit at a time. (Oh, and don't forget to have fun!) |

Comments and Documentation: Use them! You would never believe how fast you will forget how something works, especially when things are flying at you so fast. Other/future programmers will understand what you did and why you did it. |

Haha, I applaud your efforts to read into the actions of the GDC, but I feel like trying to do so is like shooting at a target, in the dark, at a mile away, with a sawed off shotgun. |

Last year we saved a ton of money by using a good bit of square tubing for the frame of our robot, square tubing is a lot cheaper then C channel. We get to use so much raw material that the cost should go down in certain places. |
