Yep, after all, when life gives you lemons, make a robot to pit and squeeze them, purchase sugar, cups, water, and ice and make lemonade!! |

I am also impressed that you maintained the integrity of your parentheses; you must be a software guy... |

At first, "water game" was funny. Then it went to silly. Now it's just dumb. Not to mention unrealistic for FIRST. |

See, another reason for going--you can find out your chances of being thrown off the field for a safety violation! |

when answering a question you throw out other teams names (thunder chickens and killer bees)...and a distinguished guest raises his hand and asks if he heard right when I said thunder chickens and asks for an explanation of what a thunder chicken is. |

I don't mind being odd...I like to - listen - to Dean Kamen's speeches.
They make sense. I don't get to listen to a lot of sense in the world, just a lot of noise. |

Have you ever found yourself staring at a physics problem, not understanding it, then connected it to a past FRC game and suddenly felt the light bulb start shining? |

Its just going to be a dirt game. We are going to be using shovel bots to dig for gold. Anyone who strikes oil gets the 100 point bonus! |

And I have to say, those days where you are just beating yourself, and smacking your head against the wall, and you just wish the robot would catch fire so you could go home, make the top of the mountain that much sweeter. |

In real life, I use almost nothing I learned from football except that with a bit of hard work you can get somewhere. Oh, and I have bad knees on top of that. I could have (and wished I would have) learned that from a FIRST FRC team instead. |

I believe that those who have a clear understanding of their capabilities, both physical and financial, and design and build within those capabilities are the teams that succeed. |

Naw, basketball isn't nearly as great a sport as FRC. They play for the money. We play for honor, dignity, and respect. |

This thread should surface like this before every new season. It is motivating and inspiring. And jawdropping. |

It would appear that your PLTW teacher succeeded in tricking you into learning something after all. Teachers are sneaky that way! |

We also had a couple of student leaders emerge from this offseason Rumble, which can do nothing but help the team in the upcoming FRC season. |

Sorry- therefore IOU 1 Battery- you can collect it on I-95 about 1 mile south of exit 13A in the center lane...... (ps- of course that battery is "free of charge") |

Of course, every team in FTC should be asking the magic question: "What would Simbotics do?" |

I'm 5'5", and I'm our team's drive coach. Our drivers are nearly always taller than me. In my case, it's not the driver's station that needs to be made of lexan...it's our drivers. |

I've had parents tell me I'm a great role model for their daughters, because I was a female leader. It's a great feeling to hear something like that. |

You pick the best person for the job whether they are black, white, asian, hispanic, female, or male; NOT so you 'look good' when they publish your team picture in the school paper, but because they can get the job done right, on time, with a passion. |
