	As Alice once said: "Curiouser and curiouser!"	Mike Betts	Bharat Nain
	Uh .. The CMU cam still needs some tuning. It was more attracted to the trees and the green panels on the fence than the actual vision tetra.	Mike Hendricks	Bharat Nain
	The great thing about autonomous mode is that it doesn't require any additional effort from anyone else on your team... (You could do that yourself...but I've noticed that people will usually offer to do it for you, rather than let the programmer touch power tools.)	jgannon	Billfred
	Don't try to kiss your stapler remover, those prongs are sharp...	MissInformation	Billfred

	The flux capacitor should have been allowed under the flowchart as long as it met the single component maximum cost. I did check with Digikey and they no longer carry the line.	Al Skierkiewicz	Billfred
	Dont give up, because that is when you lose what you have. FIRST is the best experience that I have had throughout my entire life and there is no way ANYONE can make me quit FIRST.	Arefin Bari	Jaine Perotti

	If I am going to give away six dozens tasty treats without allowing any for myself, I have to make sure that the challenge is really worth it!	dlavery	Billfred

	(OK, now that I have said this, just watch someone like Kevin Watson have a working solution by this Friday... :yikes: )	dlavery	Matt Krass
	FIRST is about family, making new friendships, belonging somewhere, doing something you love, and finding out what your real love is in life, so when you're old and wrinkly you can look back at high school and say "This is when I found myself."	Winged Wonder	Jaine Perotti
	Just wait till Heidi learns video-editing skills.	tkwetzel	Billfred
	At one point, we were all once rookies.	Vin211	Jessica Boucher
	I think that one of the most fantastic parts about FIRST is that the biggest and most successful teams are also the most abiding to the rules.	Matt Adams	Jaine Perotti
	It would also level the playing field by bringing the bottom up, rather than the top down.	russell	Matt Krass

	Starting from scratch is what makes it hard.	ChrisH	Billfred
	FIRST should never come before school and anyone who thinks otherwise is irresponsible and should not be mentoring the kids	Koko Ed	Billfred
	There MUST BE room for mistakes. That’s one of the best ways to learn.	Ken Leung	Billfred
	every year, Dean's speeches get better. in the process, he's also teaching people to be patient.	Winged Wonder	Billfred
	HAH! What else am I supposed to do on a weekend? Sleep?	Michael Hill	Billfred
	So as you're thinking about this, think simple.	Cyberguy34000	Billfred
	It's super-ironic that a question about searching was found via searching. Whodathunk?	Brandon Martus	Billfred
	Desperation is the mother of accomplishment.	Koko Ed	Billfred
	I just weighed myself and I have gained two pounds since last Saturday. Thats a sign of a good robotics team.	russell	dlavery
	I have always gotten the answers I need. They're just not always the answers I want...	Alan Anderson	Matt Krass
	If only more people could have the same attitude toward FIRST as they do toward their fellow teams!	Jaine Perotti	Koko Ed
	I don't even consider FIRST to be an extracurricular anymore; it is a way of life.	Jaine Perotti	dlavery
	The few people who don't ever make mistakes are the same people who simply don't do anything. What people do after they make a mistake tells others what they are made of.	Andy Baker	Jaine Perotti
	If you are new to these forums, you might want to observe the discussions a while before diving in with opinions, emotions, and expertise.	Andy Baker	Billfred
	Jeez, I love my job! :)	dlavery	Jaine Perotti

	Aim for the stars – you just might hit a planet.	Leo M	Andy Baker
	Much of what you do in the "real world" has no rules. You have to look yourself in the mirror and make them up as you live; knowing that what you do WILL come back to haunt you sooner or later.	dhitchco	dlavery
	If you are stupid about this and violate the rules, and thereby cause your alliance to lose a match, then your alliance partners will gang up on you and violate your robot.	dlavery	Andy Baker
