I think the GDC should force us to use steam engines, but the electrically-inclined folks on my team might stop whining if they're given more to work with. |

I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels like a blind man in a room full of sharp objects when it comes to programing. |

Given how easily these things pop, is "Blow Out Pricing" really the best choice of words? |

Your team will be more of a team and not a group of students who are just building a robot. Instead of being in FIRST, you will be FIRST. |

...many different kinds of students join our team. Some only have an interest in media, or others in cheering. What is important is that they are having fun while working in an engineering environment. |

I have photos of students working the lathe dressed for a concert! Makes me wish for a formal dress night at robotics. |

There's something about building a robot that just makes people enthusiastic about life. |

I'm not basing success on winning a regional. Success is learning by building the best system you can. In the engineering industries, the best system is the one chosen. |

I also would not recommend shipping the gerbils with the robot. |

One of the cultural concepts that has emerged from the teams participating in FIRST is that ideas are worth sharing. |

The urge to compete tends to drive teams to hold the ideas close during the competition season, but the urge to contribute means they get publicized afterwards. |

If I can make one wish, it would be having Dean and Woodie read one of these writings of mine, so I can tell them "I get it! Give me time and give me inspiration, and one day I will be ready to take over the torch." |

If you never reach out and experiment with different things, you will never have the courage to reach out again. It's only through experiments and experiences where we get to understand ourselves better. |

...FIRST was created to change that world for the better. To presume that FIRST is simply here for your enjoyment is to demote it to nothing more than an expensive game... |

Remember FIRST is "For Inspiration" of all students. It is a little tough to inspire students you won't allow in. |

The fact the FIRST knows no boundaries, either geographic or cultural, is certainly one of our strongest assets as we move toward a changed culture. |

Like fishing, some may get away as you are reeling them in, but never letting out enough line to get the big ones at the bottom is just disappointing. |

I can tell you that I feel happiest when I am giving or doing for others. I do not expect anything in return but just knowing that I can make things better, in my small way, makes me happy. |

Your GPA in High School and College is a reflection of your cooperation with educational processes, nothing more. It is NOT a measurement of how much you know or how much you can learn. |

unless your team is incredibly beastly, completely ignore the words "cool factor". Coolness does not outweigh functionality. |

I used to think FIRST was about my learning experiences, but now that I'm out of high school and am a seasoned veteran of FIRST I've realized that this organization is about more than my own enjoyment, it's about the enjoyment of others. |

I think I just found a way to replace our entire robot drive team! (no big deal, they are graduating anyway!) :D |

If the refs are not calling something that you think should be called, you have to adjust your play style to deal with it. |
