We should also remember the fact that the FIRST Manual is not supposed to be enterpreted with lawyer speak. If so you could make it say many things. |

I don't know how much of a safety factor chain manufacturers build into these ratings. I've got empirical evidence to demonstrate that it's not 5, however. |

P.S. - Don't eat spicy food before a match, or a marathon of matches like eliminations. It never ends well. Trust me. |

I feel that the only friends I have ever had are people I know through FIRST. Being on a team gave me the sense of belonging that I thought I didn't even need. FIRST has given me a great life that I never thought I would have. |

A lot of students decribe FIRST as the best thing that happened to their life. Once a student gets hooked, they don't want to leave FIRST for any cause. I am one of them. |

Frankly, I love CD and everything it stands for. I've made more friends from this forum alone than I ever expected to meet in FIRST. I'd give just about anything to keep this system up, upgraded and going on long into the future. It's not even enough to show my thanks and gratitude. |

FIRST is not about lowering the bar to those with the smallest expectations, but helping helping all teams exceed the standards set by the best. |

If you promote not only the growth of your own team but of other teams at other schools you are successful. |

I feel there really is only one team, and the name of that team is FIRST. |

Successful FIRST team members know they always can improve themselves, not just as a FIRST team, but as people who can offer something of value to society.

It's a club if you have a bunch of people who hang out and do nothing - It's a team if all you all work together and cooperate to win. |

Dave Lavery, Lou Rosanio and Karthik are all Woodie Flowers winners this year. So mentors it seems like if ya want the WFA it might be a good idea to put on a kilt :) |

This is about more than building a robot, we cannot only do the fun things. If you are fully involved than you will be prepared to do anything in life. |

To think that one can "learn" engineering in 6 weeks while under the strain of building a robot too is proposterous. FIRST isn't about teaching. It's about inspiring.

After talking with the students on these teams I could see the light in their eyes. These were their robots! Inspired? That would be a definate YES! |

Now, I either need to convince Mike Martus to start the webhug early (or move it back 1 hour), skip the webhug, miss the first part of the presentation, or just clone myself. |

Tell them your newfound passion for FIRST as a program, and let them know all you're doing is getting more involved to broaden your FIRST horizon |

Although I don't agree with the ref's call...we accept it because a ref's call is a final call. |

keep making a difference out there everyone...slowly but surely everyone will catch onto FIRST and then the world will be a better place :) |

GP makes us all on one and the same team. They understand that in order for any of us to succeed, we need to help out where we can. It is why you will see so many other teams helping a team with a failing robot, buggy software, team strategy, etc. |

You will find friends among all FIRST students who will become very good friends of yours, will care and help you with anything that you need help with. This is my personal opinion, If you are hooked, dont ever let it go. |

What really matters is what you got out of the FIRST season, and how you can use it to build on what you know.

Well I have to admit, most of the people on our team are geeks. I think that it's a title of honor considering it might as well be "boss" or "head supervisor" or something along those lines. |

If you have a problem with a team, go to that team and address it with them. Don't air your slanderous opinions here for all to see. |

So remember, we may be envious of teams who can do water jet cutting and has every possible monetary and engineering advantage, but there are many more people who are envious of every team who has a chance to compete. |
