Plot twist: I'm actually Dean Kamen, and I've seen so many water game suggestions that we're now considering it.

I don't know, there's quite a few teams that apply to travel to some random HS gym in Indiana every summer. |

If you plan the work and work the plan, you will very likely make it to the district championship. |

Without fail, judges always come by when the spokespeople are in the bathroom, so others should be able to cover until they're back. |

Great teams with great software have control loops. Clever teams without software have pneumatics. |

Of course I'm not an admin, so this opinion is worth about as much as a disco record or AOL Free Trail CD. |

To help keep the kids on top of their game, I remind them that the school board considers a grade of 97 an A+, so we can lose 3% of the kids and still be considered excellent. |

If they don't treat Dave nicely, he may just keep his big red ball, and not share with rest of us. |

Finally, they're getting rid of the spotlights. I'm sick of seeing ridiculous inside jokes up there. |

I openly admitted to using IE at robotics last year and recieved a major lashing for such blasphemy. Then I downloaded Chrome. |

When you come down to it, FIRST is about people inspiring other people; STEM and the robots are just the subject matter. |

I've come to believe that the current alliance selection system is just like democracy. It's the worst system possible, aside from all the other ones. |

It's wrong to scuttle someone else's boat because you don't think it's seaworthy. You probably don't know that what you were seeing will be called a submarine. |

The difference between a robotics kid and a generic nerd. Both use their calculators for statistical analysis. One keeps it a closely guarded secret, the other brags about it on Chief Delphi! |

As goes with all of my advice on CD, try it yourself and make up your own mind. I'm just suggesting things based on experience. See what works for your team. Follow my suggestions to the letter, mix and match them, or even throw them completely out the window. It's all about you and your team. |

I've worked with space based navigation and lever arms and planes and Kalman filters. .. and I have never, ever once considered looking up to navigate. |

I can't wait to be one of those old kids who can say "Yeah, I remember the days before districts." and then watch the kid's eyes widen when I explain the days of regionals.. |
