The next hint will be game hint #3. Everyone will go crazy trying to figure out which of the fake hints was hint #2. |

Anyone who makes a minibot that poots out another minibot that blows the wall apart deserves to have it displayed in the Smithsonian. |

If I was making this I would want to not have to use anything smaller than a 3/16" end mill, but 1/8" would be acceptable. Anything smaller and I'd tell the designer to go play in traffic. |

We, as mentors, receive our greatest reward when our students become role models and give of their time to others in need. |

You can admire machines, but you don't really love them... This program has enabled me to make a difference that I believe is good for the future of humans on this planet. |

If you're not trying to make the best possible product given your set of constraints and resources I'm not quite sure what you're doing. |

Having 75% of the drive train without direct connection to the transmission would make me a bit queasy, but then again, I'm not Winnovative. |

Too many people have worked too long and too hard to have the selfish actions of one person derail our teams reputation because they want to vent online. |

Half your robot could be broken, some drive chains snapped, a drive motor burned out, etc... and your WCD will still be trucking. |

FIRST isn't about building robots. I know. But I also know that Inspiration comes in a lot of flavors and I, for one, believe it is a lot easier to inspire my kids when we set "playing after lunch on Saturday" as a worthy team goal. |

It is easier than you'd think to get yourself crossed off a draft list. I advise my teams, "Be the team you'd want to partner with." |

All in all, you get what you celebrate. The more we celebrate the under-served parts of our team the more students step up and make that part great. |

Yes, it is fun. Its fun to watch the students expand their thinking and look outside the "normal" and watch their thoughts explode! Its also fun to watch the mentor's minds fry trying to out think the students.;) |

To me game hints are like robot teasers. Much ado about nothing and I ignore both. |

FIRST games are complex and rely on design and intellectual capability much more than the average sport. |

FIRST is the most glorious test of the mind. Anyone can run a marathon or get a slam-dunk. It takes guts to admit you are a nerd that enjoys six weeks off non-stop stress, and actually thrives on it. |

Or, to put it another way: It's a sport where you build your own athlete. |
