A robot is never "complete" |

Yeah, you build robots, so what. But you also build students, and that's what it's about! |

There were no heroes on the team, just everyone doing their part. |

Every robot is a key element to each victory, no matter how much or how little they help. |

Don't take my questions negatively, I just hold drive trains to a ridiculous standard. |

And, if you don't know what something means, say so, we'll be happy to explain. |

Just got our robot crate back. The FedEx driver told me he was watching the robotics competition online and asked how our team did. He knew about Team 27 and 469. We must be doing a great job in Michigan promoting FIRST if a FedEx driver watch FRC matches online and was excited talking about it. |

The entire season, when someone yelled "Robot" I would yell back "Human" and stand my ground. |

There should be no teams yelling "robot". |

Give a group of engineers the choice of three options, and they'll pick choice number seven. |

Next year they should make Roombas the game piece. They're not very effective at vacuuming the rug that's for sure. |

Isn't that the name of the game... Roomba Rumble? |

Would FIRST be as amazing if not for CD? I mean it would still be this amazing place for students and mentors to be but the explosion of innovation and gathering of people together across communities has to have been greatly effected by CD. |

And like Woodie told us in his talk, all the bad stuff we anguished over will be replaced by the memories of the achievements and good time we had this year. |

My team is graduating yet another class of great kids who will go into the world capable and focused. And after a decade and a half of FIRST robotics those memories are as treasured as any trophies. |

I do this for the people...the kids, the mentors, and especially, with all my heart, the volunteers. Thank you for all you do. |

Yup, looks like FIRST is infiltrating the American sports culture.
And that's the long and the short of it. |

I'm wondering just what you think the people who DID set this system up actually do for a living instead? Sheep farmers? |

Find what your team is good at, and use it in any way you can. |

I continue in FIRST because I'm not looked down upon for not knowing how to do something, but held up because I want to learn. |

Hopefully LMFAO will cross paths with FRC71. They've been shufflin' since 2002. |

Redfoo is actually a really awesome guy. He discussed the future of engineering and talked about C++ programming with our software team. |

However, I am a firm believer in the theory that if you are pushing with a mecanum wheeled robot you are doing it wrong. |

Hey Don, if the [Woody Flowers] award doesn't impress the non-FIRST friends and family, just tell them you have your own "inter-web thread" - tell them you are like a Chuck Norris on the internet!!! |

How many of the team's current students were even alive when those awards were earned? :) |
