I'm not suffering from my FIRST "addiction". I enjoy every minute of it. |

I'm not overdosed, I'm not even addicted. I just choose to never, ever, ever leave FIRST. |

And now I'll just take a moment and say that you've all gone completely insane. That is all. |

I know I exaggerated a bit, but NASA put a man on the moon with less processing than some FRC bots. Think about that for a minute. |

Well, I know that I could crash the robot into a large object with even greater precision... but if you mean what could the kids do with it... yeah, they'd probably accomplish something creative and useful! |

FIRST isn't about money or robots... it is about people. Take care of that and the rest will follow. |

Such is life in the fast-paced, laugh-in-the-face-of-adversity, never-let-them-see-you-sweat, sometimes-you're-the-windshield-sometimes-you're-the-bug world of FIRST Robotics! |

At championship, as we do at every regional, we'll be counting every point scored (or lost) by each robot. Nothing beats numbers. |

It's not GP, its not un-GP, its just a strategy. |

It is a little known fact that Team 1114 is actually "General Motors Canada and Hogwarts Academy" The whole Niagara FIRST thing is just a cover to keep the magic arts concealed from us muggles. |

There are 1,450 schools in my district. Needless to say not all of them have teams..yet. |

Drive yourself, ride Amtrak or Greyhound bus, or bend space-time to the point of singularity and you'll just poof into existence in Atlanta. |

Engineers talk with math first, and grammar second. It is a fact of life. |

Yes, I try to win matches, but you don't want to disrespect opponents......just get on their nerves an awful lot! :D |

you should be putting forth you best effort every time you enter the field. |

Strategy is rarely static, and how you design your robot isn't always the best way to win the game. |

I will follow FIRST's guidelines, as long as they conform with those of the English language. |

Our job is to play the game that the GDC gave us, not the one we think they should have given us. |

A good robot can score a lot of points. A great robot can do it when the other alliance does everything they can to stop it. |

I (personally) am not involved in FIRST because I want to win (of course, that would still be nice ;) ). |

I in all sincerity thoroughly enjoy the way that programming for FIRST makes me want to bash my head against a wall. |

...isn't that part of the point? For high schoolers to do things they "could not have" by themselves? |

It is great to be proud of the way you do things, but to imply that everyone should match your way of thinking, is ludicrous. |

To offer an opinion is fine, to demand that others adhere to your opinion is laughable. |

I can attest that mentoring is probably the most important aspect of this program. |

Even as a "mentor", I am still being mentored by engineers who work with the team. |

This is not pinewood derby. This is not a science fair. This is a sport, and in sports there are winners and losers. |

While FIRST's goal is to inspire young people, it will be much easier to do that if we also inspire all the older people as well. |

I don't resent or envy them for being strong teams; I hope we can continue to learn from them and someday join their ranks. |

Teams should spend more time talking about how to avoid penalties during their strategy sessions.
