Has anybody seen our programmer? He was last sighted walking southbound in the rain, his laptop tucked under his arm, grumbling to himself. |

My robot is my significant other. It makes me happy, sometimes it makes me sad, i wish it would lose some weight but it is always there for me. |

I'm not worried about talking to the robot, but I am worried about when the robot starts talking back... |

Got Valentine's day present from wife before leaving for work. Non-contact IR thermometer, two unscuffed pairs of safety glasses for competitions, bag of York peppermint patties. She understands me. |

To anyone who is discouraged about their team, don't let yourself get down. I've seen my team go from having a robot that barely moved (and I'm not kidding, we had keys falling out of gearboxes) to this year with a robot that is ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK. Don't lose hope, stick with FIRST! |

many of the greatest innovation throughout history have come from people who have ignored standard practices and traditional thinking. |

My strongest FIRST memories, and the teams that leave the biggest impact on me, are teams that seem like they have every reason to give up, but never do. |

I'm not sure why, but I'm getting this picture in my head of a bunch of engineers, huddled in deer blinds with 22's, waiting for the right power wheels toy to drive by. |

We have put our [robot] on a treadmill. It should shed those excessive pounds and be in shape to compete.:) |

My grades were horrid when I started, but thanks to the mentors and other students, I'm now a straight-A student. |

We will be stressed, we will be angry. But we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard, we need to be role models and inspirations to students. |

A FRC team without engaged and motivated students is like a car without wheels... it isn’t going to go very far. |

I think there are a ton of teams that would kill for one let alone three engineering mentors (especially one with the knowledge and experience that Rich Olivera has). |

It means Dave Lavery isn't on the Game Design Committee this year. If he were, you probably would have found a banana instead. |

According to a recent study, 63% of teams admit they are behind. The other 37% are lying. |

First of all, please remember that while we often focus on winning the Chairman's Award, that it is the effort to win that matters. No one "loses" RCA... if you've worked your butt off all year in the spirit of the award, then you've already won before you even get to the regional. |

An FRC team's success should not be measured in how many robots it can build or how many blue banners it can collect. It should be measured by how many engineers (and other professionals) it 'builds'. |

Its great for us as mentors to see students teaching other students and a robot being built from scratch without us. Maybe someday they won't need us at all!!! |

Like my programming class teacher has said multiple times: "Stop complaining on reddit about your code not compiling and actually fix it". |
