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. |

The neat thing about regionals, is that they ARE big robot parties! |

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. |

The answer doesn't lie with an all student run team, or an Engineer-fest team... But somewhere in the middle. Moderation is key. |

FIRST is like pizza. You and I may like different toppings, but in the end it's still delicious pizza. |

It would be wise to consider the reasoning behind the statement rather than the statement itself. Sometimes they are right... other times their statement is incomplete... and other times they really do have no clue what they are talking about. |

According to Clarke's third law, I believe their entire robot works by magic. |

Welcome to FIRST! You will soon figure out that there is no "exit strategy" from this program. |

I think we must take seriously the importance of "infecting" the rest of the world with this passion. |

The losing alliance should know they lost, admit it, and use the desire to win to push themselves even further. |

Ironically, I think the best testament to the program [Dean Kamen] founded and his ideals wouldn't be if he won a Nobel Prize. It would be if you did. |

The driver must have a relationship with the robot, the driver should talk to the robot, speak soft encouraging words to it. Pet names are also a good idea. If the driver does not love the robot, how can the driver learn to trust the robot. |

In the long run, you don't remember your ranking points, you remember the lessons and friendships from when you were on a robotics team in high school. |

Remember to have fun! That's what the FIRST experience should be for you- a lot of fun while doing a lot of learning. |

Our club visited the Seattle Regional this week and they all have the FRC bug now. May God have mercy on our souls... |

Woody says that gracious professionalism is "acting how you would if you grandmother was watching you"... some people must have some really crazy grandmothers. (: |

Announcers don't keep the score. They are fairly outgoing people, make witty remarks, and wear goofy shirts. We can't take them too seriously. :) |

It's not about going for any of the awards. Awards are to recognize what you are doing for First, your team, and the community. |

Finding those students and giving them a lift up out of the sea of apathy that is constantly trying to drown them is one of the reasons I am in my profession. |

Being professional means doing things right. Being gracious means doing the right thing. They complement each other perfectly. But I think we should remember to use GP as a guide for our own behavior, not as a yardstick to measure others' shortcomings. |
