..this is the first robot we've built that succeeded at everything we wanted it to. It was simple. It was low maintenance. It scored effectively. It had an autonomous that worked. Its look caught attention. And it was finished on schedule. |

The more you cling to the misfortunes that have already befallen you, the less you'll be able move forward from here. |

I walk through the door, and suddenly the field breaks down. It must be my magnetic personality. |

Team newb: To expect any average group of high schoolers to build and develop a robot in less than six weeks is...madness! Me: Madness? THIS IS FIRST! |

This is a very cool robot. It doesn't look like a launcher... it looks like a lifter driving backwards. Then whammo! The ball is flying through the air. |

Who cares about the score? The score is just numbers on a board, the exciting part is watching the robots interact and seeing robots( and more importantly, people) do the impossible. |

Holonomic? I thought we were holographic. Or was that autonomic? I'm confused.... |

a robot is never finished... It can always be redone and improved. |

Remember to drive it like you stole it but be sure that it is in OVERDRIVE. |

*Teams. The competitors, who wear brightly colored shirts, scream like crazy, and bring robots. Without them, there would be no competition. |

I'll guess those tie-dyed, numbered balls are used for alliance-partner lotto. :D |

Part of FRC and design/engineering is perseverance. Keep your chin up, your thoughts positive, and have respect for your work and the work of your teammates. |

Even though our team really digs the Tumbleweed name, the kids normally refer to the robot as the 'Neun-agon'. |

Think of the build season as kiddie bowling. Mentors should be the bumpers and your mom who lines you up and gives you advice. |

Thanks for the wishes of luck. We try to minimize its importance, but having it on our side is never a bad thing. |

I hope Dave doesn't see these. He'll want you to put in a banana and use it for a game clue. |

You can usually pick out the kids who will grow up to be engineers. They're the ones tearing apart their nintendo, their vcr, their minibike, and their parents' cars. |

We know that the real goal of FIRST is not for this robot to win, but that we learn something. If i was on robotics to win, it wouldn't be nearly as fun. |

And that's why we all need to consider reserving a "No! Bad robot!" button for the robocoach. :yikes: |
