A challenge to those of you grumbling about the refereeing this year: Be a referee next year. |

FIRST prides itself on safety. It shouldn't be limited to only the pit area. |

Due to risk of unforseeable consequences, teams may not initiate a wormhole for the purpose of scoring ringers from past or future matches. |

How FIRST is helping: teaching me just how much I can achieve in 6 weeks. |

It wasn't about the ROBOT, or about whether I was male or female, it was about getting to compete in something that was just SO cool. |

Don't waste the opportunity because you were too focused on "winning" the championship. |

How about "The 2007 FIRST Robotics Competition International World Championship Event Of Atlanta Consisting Of Competition, Gracious Professionalism, Robots, And Geeky Fun"? Somehow I doubt it will catch on... |

The thrills of a heroic repair, a well deserved award, a compliment on our efforts, the growth of our team members, making new friends.... These can make a memorable and exciting FIRST regional as much as a close match. |

Finally, a Team Update that we can all agree to! |

At least try to make sure other teams are aware of you. Don't be obnoxious, but don't be a wall flower either. |

FIRST Championships event is not about winning, its about the experience, the atmosphere, the people and the sites, there are a lot of amazing things to see at The Championships. |

In any case, don't beat yourself up over it. Only 24 teams get to play in elimination rounds. Sometimes you're in the 24, and sometimes you aren't. |

We had an autonomous bug last year . . . Funnily enough, this worked real well and other teams were asking us for this "feature." |

I saw 2274, a rookie team that had won the regional, gathered around their mentor. He was holding their trophy and saying, "This is what it is all about. Teamwork and cooperation. You guys did great." |

The code won't compile if you violate the rules of the programming language...but English is more robust, it seems to work pretty well no matter how we engineering nerds mangle it! |

After all, life is what you do outside of FIRST. No wonder it's so short. |

Instead of arguing about what should have been, learn from the breaks, and celebrate the gracious professionalism being displayed by the other 99% of teams. Word. |
