The evil Chief Delphi machine will begin to consume you and your non-robotics life thread by thread. First hand experience :D. |

Ask questions; don't be afraid to talk to "powerhouse" teams. |

It always surprises me how many teams wait until their robot is being inspected to learn how files should be used. |

We can help FIRST improve the system, but we can't just blame them and wait. |

I'd also like to apologize to any of the teams whose robots we may have broken. |

IMO the main idea behind FIRST is for the mentors and students to work together to produce a machine that the students could never have produced on their own. |

Teams need to make 'don't be a jerk' a part of their culture, and that culture needs to be explained to the parents who travel with you |

I want my students to learn passion. I want them to care so much about what they are doing that they infect other people with it... be that FRC or anything else. |

I never wanted to be a teacher.
This was the year I learned that I am one. It turns out mentors are teachers. Oops. |

Curse those filthy wrench-swinging rivet-popping screw-driving hammer-smashing mechanical barbarians. Hand over the robot to the programmers! |

My mom's cousin heard from her friend who heard from her brother who heard from his barber who heard from his son that his teacher told him that his father's brother's sister's former roommate heard from Frank himself. |

The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. |

I will read this blog, read your stories, learn from you, and be a better mentor because of you. You give me hope. Your diversity brings me joy. |

FIRST is NOT just about robotics. It is about the growth of leaders - of Gracious Professionals... |

After all, when any student is isolated because of a difference - because of race, gender, social beliefs, or ideological concepts - we all lose. |

There are "Problems", and then there are "Solutions". Understand the Problem, and keep your mind open to alternative solutions. Don't get married to a Solution. |

Making even just one person feel safe and included in FIRST is how we know that we have succeeded. |

At every event I've seen this year, there has been at least one robot that left a part on the field. Even some of the robots have decided they don't want to play and this year and made a break for it in autonomous! :yikes: |

Is CAD essential to all teams?
No, but neither are power tools. |

TL;DR: The robot battery (and your car battery) aren't going to electrocute you unless you stab a positive and negative wire from them into your heart. In which case you have plenty of other problems besides. |
