Of course just because there is are existing solutions to a problem does not mean there aren't better ones. |

Define "surgery". I think we have enough close calls with "surgery" as it is. Thank god for disable dongles. |

Based on my experience coaching basketball and robotics, there is no doubt in my mind that if a sports coach receives $x then a robotics coach should, too. |

You will find that most people in good companies are real people that share the same values and concerns as all of us. |

Exercise, eat properly, work hard, live hard, play hard, laugh hard, inspire people, solve problems.
And leave the world around you a little better place than you found it. |

As far as I am concerned, the quality of an electronic device is directly proportional to the number of blinky lights on it. |

If you do mentor FIRST, be an asset to your team, but know that your students will admire you all the more if you set an example and finish your own homework. |

I just want to say that the rack 'n roll was my first year with FIRST! It was the best thing I ever did. I cant wait to learn more when we get to start up again! |

I believe it is healthy to leave FIRST at some point and carry on with a well-rounded life (family, fun, school, & work). Focus your creative energy on developing your skills as a professional; then, come back to FIRST as a mentor later down the line. |

Off-season events aren't just for gameplay, they should also be a training session for new students and rookie teams. |

overly agressive play, sudden torque gains, and signs of robot acne will cause immediate suspicion, and may be used as justification for a complete tear-down inspection |

If everyone could just worry about how much fun they are having rather than how much they disagree with other teams, the program would be much better off. |

How the mentors of a team inspire their team is unimportant, as long as the team is inspired to do great things. We on 1824 believe in 'student designed, student built', but that does not mean that all teams should do as we do. For inspiration comes in many forms. |

Our "gracious professionalism" credo insists that we make decisions that are based solely on the desire to inspire and recognize science and technology using robot construction and competition as a vehicle. |

I hope that kids will stop asking us if we build Battlebots and start asking us if we build Transformers. To that, I will answer with a resounding yes. |

Well, air conditioners when pointed inside the house make it cooler. So I figure if EVERYONE turns their air conditioners on full blast and just point them out the window, we should more or less get rid of this "warming" nonsense. |

FIRST has given thousands of young people (like me) a head start in life because it teaches honesty, integrity, and an appreciation of other people's hard work. |

The way things generally work in cases like this is simple: if you know something, you can't say it. So keep in mind that if someone does say something, it usually means they don't know. |

Not everything has to be cashed in or has to have instant recognition. Sometimes being a part of a program of value and opportunity is enough. And, what you put into the program is what you get out of it. |

Just think of the deadline as your six week deadline for FIRST, just when you think you can't do it, you are amazed by what you can do. |
