Unfortunately, there's no special type of transmission that will magically get you past defense. The best way to deal with defense is to practice, regardless of gearing. |

I feel like watching match videos from 2003 could be considered a form of cruel and unusual punishment. |

The most important deisgn criteria is always performance in any of the parts / systems we design. But we do try to abide by the saying -- if it doesn't look good (right), it probably isn't good (right). |

See what you don't understand about us students is that we don't know when to stop. |

So, we should have respect for each other regardless of whether we are building our robot with a Waterjet or a Hacksaw. Construction methods will vary widely, but honoring your competitors should be universal. |

FRC did a lot for me in high school. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to help it do the same for others. |

Having the foolish belief that you can win a match in which you are completely outgunned will drive you to develop a winning strategy. |

We need to start building FIRST competition arenas and leasing them in the off-season to the sports teams and conventions ;) |

"How do we make our team be like your team?" That's the sort of question everyone should be asking of these so-called "elite" or "powerhouse" teams. |

Competitions are won or lost far away from witnesses, ... In those long hours, is where we find inspiration in ourselves. For what inspires is not another's feats, but realize we have the power in ourselves to achieve that feat. |

What happens when everything becomes fully swagged out? Also, does my robot need to have collar-popping functionality to use every feature? |

Students learn from, are inspired by, and emulate their mentors. A team with a solid mentor base helps to create a productive, inspired, and ultimately successful group of students. |

Reach out to successful teams and ask them for help, rather than complain about them. I have never seen a successful team deny help to anyone. |

We only ask that, when able, you too help other teams as we have helped you. It is this mentality of passing it forward that makes teams and FIRST great. |

In 2012, we built our best machine ever. Some visitors to our pit were visibly disappointed to find that our machine was a pile of extruded aluminum and urethane belting, just cleverly arranged and programmed. |

Every team in FIRST can make this choice. Be positive, help others, and work like a maniac behind the scenes. This approach will bring you joy and satisfaction, whether you win or not. |

It definitely looked like a penalty, but in FRC if it looks like a penalty and smells like a penalty, well, unfortunately it might not be. |

If my counts are correct, during the official matches 141,077 points were scored, and a minimum of 28,746 frisbees were successfully shot into goals. All without a single decapitation, severed limb, or even one porpoise becoming accidentally entangled in the nets. |

Our robot throws custom $5.50 FIRST Frisbees at a rate of 75 discs per minute and a speed of ~32 feet per second.
It costs over $80 to feed our robot for 12 seconds. |
