I'd rather have a bot in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. |

FIRST is kind of like charity work... you are, even if only in some small way, helping our future just a little bit, and you get a great feeling from it. Even if you are just ringing a bell (or clapping MOE sticks together), you're helping. |

We are different, but in our differences we help the world continue to grow, change, become inspired. Different is NOT bad. Be true to your self, be weird, be dorky, be crazy, be a geek. :) |

...all that matters in my opinion is how much personal growth each one of you all achieve from being a part of this wonderful organization known as the FIRST robotics program. |

Although it is tempting, try not to toot your own horn in this thread. While you may have an awesome bot, the real compliment should come from other teams. |

FIRST is not the party- its the people. We can have a great competition no matter where we hold it. |

Success to me is a feeling that is associated with achieving something you truly worked hard for; something that you can look at and say "That's my best work." |

Never be afraid to admit your ignorance, and ask someone something. You may just learn something new...

Nats allows an exchange of a vast multitude of ideas from everywhere. Not only in robot design, but accents, tool storage, pit design, team spirt, clothing, many things.

Success isn't from winning nationals but from improving as a person or as team. Putting the minds together in order to get the job done is success. |

FIRST is like a big roller coaster, that can only be experianced if one takes a ride which can become a liftime experiance. |

But he who has deeper insight realizes that concepts and ideas canot be contained in even the largest jar, bucket or box. You cannot touch or see these things, but you can be enhanced with knowledge and experience of them. |

I think being successful in FIRST is creating an environment where people can grow, learn, change, and recreate... It's about making an environment where kids feel they can be successful... in whatever discipline they choose. |

While one student may not be of much value to the team, do we ever stop to think about how much value the team may be to that student? |

Learn the subjects that interest you, but at the same time know how it relate to real life situations, and how it is applied. |

I think with so many facets of FIRST, success comes from learning the true meaning of teamwork through working towards a common goal. |

Why aren't the kids who sit alongside the sidelines and observe as valued? Why are they looked upon as leeches, in it for a trip? |

Success is the indescribable feeling you get when you see something you worked so hard on in front of thousands of people. |

Those kids are different! They seem more mature, respectful, and intelligent than most adults. They can actually think instead of just spitting out facts. They are obviously getting a real education. |

To limit FIRST to robots, tools, and competition is to strip away its immense potential. |

FIRST is not about robots or which roller coaster we get to ride... it is about people. |

The teams that do the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing, and for believing in the message of FIRST deserve to be recognized. |

This forum is a really great tool to get people connected to the rest of FIRST communities, as well as a great place to learn from other people and share a little part of yourself. |

Look at 71's 'walking' bot from last year. One dosn't need wheels/track to move. All you need is an idea. |

The sign of a mature community is not that everyone is nice and happy but that differring opinions can be expressed.

The big lesson we learned ... our past does not limit our future, that superior attitude will beat out big budgets. |

I think we sometimes forget that FIRST is not just about building robots. Its purpose is to educate and inspire young people in the field of science and technology. |

If it's not a sport, and it's not an art, it might as well be criminal behavior, because that's how you're going to be treated. |
