Don't be too distracted by the shiny robots, and the games they play. Enjoy them, but keep your eyes on the real prize(s). |

Question: How can you tell the difference between an engineer and a programmer?
Answer: You ask them to count. Engineers start counting from 1. Programmers start counting from 0. |

It is not your banners that make you nor the trophies that line your walls. It is the willingness to be brave in the face of defeat and compassionate in the winds of victory that create you. |

Calling the refs "zebras" is just fine. Just don't call 'em late for dinner (or visually impaired). |

This reminds me a lot of how millennials are regularly called out for simply being younger and having different perspectives. In the end it's the ones who are calling them out in unprofessional in ways that end up embarrassing themselves and looking uninformed. |

IMHO, [the driver's] job is to drive the robot. The coaches job is to monitor everything in a match that isn't your robot. |

Stand scouting allows you to get to know the robot.
Pit scouting allows you to get to know the team. |

Some said the aluminum foil gave the robot a NASA-like quality, but others pointed out that blanketing components with a highly-conductive material that blocked air flow was probably not going to help get us to Einstein. |
