	And then have FIRST throw a copy of the Atkins diet book in with each kit...	dlavery	Michael Leicht
	Teams that are consistently designing and end up with weight problems need to look at their design process and make corrections in "Weight Management".	Mike Martus	Arefin Bari
	No matter what the weight limit is, a large number of teams will ALWAYS have trouble making it.	Cory	Billfred
	I love you ChiefDelphi times!	Amanda Morrison	Arefin Bari
	Courtesy is the key.	Tom Schindler	Ben Lauer
	The engineers and mentors provide the "I" in FIRST and FIRST would be nowhere near where it is today without this exceptional leadership shown by so many of these volunteers.	Chris Fultz	David Kelly
	The MAINTENANCE of teams is just as important as the growth. Starting a new team is not always the answer.	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	By being on your team, you are just that - on a team of people. Every person represents a team... You do, too.	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	No disclaimer on earth lets you disassociate yourself with your team or what you represent because you want to say something not particularly nice, but lets you be associated again when you want to say something to encourage others, etc.	Amanda Morrison	Mike Schroeder

	In the end, if our products are crap, then people will not buy them. This is the risk of doing business, and the foundation of capitalism.	Andy Baker	David Kelly
	But now the most important question - is there a practical application for one of these devices on a FIRST robot?	Chris Fultz	Billfred
	No, Dave says "that's PUMP"	dlavery	Billfred
	This is a risk. Life is full of risks. FIRST is life... therefore, FIRST is full of risks.	Andy Baker	Billfred

	I wish I had two extra hands, so I could give those gearboxes four thumbs up!	Billfred	David Guzman
	So please, think twice before you click that little button that says "reply".	Ken Leung	Jeff Waegelin
	Maybe you should whack it a few times with a hammer. That always seems to fix our robots.	Adam Y.	Billfred
	I'm not gonna reinvent the wheel cause I can already buy it :)	Stephen Kowski	JVN
	Cooler robots = Impressed sponsors = More money for FIRST = Easier expansion = Easier culture change. Isn't this what we want?	Karthik	Jeff Waegelin
	Inventions are not built using premade parts. People come up with new ideas, from different angles and with renewed enthusiasm. Playing the game is fun, building and designing is inspirational.	Steve W	Brandon Martus
	See, building a really great robot is just a pseudo challenge for the concept of the whole FIRST program. It is just a phony way to bring people together to reach one common goal.	sanddrag	Ryan M.
	The robots are the attracting force, the common interest that brings us all together	sanddrag	Jeff Waegelin
	You think you are building robots, but you are really building yourselves.	sanddrag	Jeff Waegelin

	An Evil Overlord is only as bad as the creatures she/he rules.	MissInformation	Billfred
	I thanked the tradesmen on our team the same way i do ever year with a handshake and a "thanks for helping us guys",	Mike Schroeder	Bharat Nain
	In my opinion, I wouldnt want gifts or praise from people about my help to a robotics team, all I would want is a thank you, that would make all my hard work and efforts worth while and it would prove to me that I could actually be making a difference in the students lives	Mike Schroeder	Bharat Nain
	I heard that the only gift UFH wants on its birthday is an inbox full of nominations. :D	Brandon Martus	Beth Sweet
	Coming to MTV this fall: Pimp my Segway	Francis-134	Billfred

	I love robotics, it has a spot for every kinda future career a student chooses.	Bharat Nain	Elgin Clock
	And, by the way, we're all weird. It's just a matter of how well you hide or show it. :D	Billfred	Joe Matt
	It's a bit sad, really, because FIRST has already reached other countries and there are some U.S. states that still are unaware of what FIRST is!!	tribotec_ca88	Elgin Clock
	Bottom line: hobbiests, hackers, and tinkerers can fiddle with something and make it work. Engineers are people who [b]engineer[/b] solutions to problems.	Dave Flowerday	Jeff Waegelin
	I would say that you are not an engineer until you've both obtained the aforementioned peice of paper AND done something with your tumescent engineers forebrain.	phrontist	Billfred
