How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They'll just say it's a hardware problem. |

I am not even out of high school, and my foot is already in the door of my dream job. And FIRST got me there. |

From a coaching standpoint, I can tell you...the coach is NOTHING without valuable scout information. If the coach is nothing, the robot is NOTHING. It all starts from the scouts...get your kids to see this. |

Boy, am I ever glad we decided not to use eggs as game pieces like I originally suggested... |

Geez, now I'm like some all-knowing all-seeing FIRST sage who lives in the moutains waiting for students to venture upwards to my home to ask me if there will ever be a water game....:rolleyes: |

I've been inspired for real engineering during the build season and on the playing field, but the inspiration I found in the pits is often for creative thinking and intuition. |

I say we all stop flaming and pointing out what went wrong or what bad calls were made and start pointing out how much fun we all have at the regionals and what FIRST actually has done for us. |

I know alot of the rookie teams were helped out alot this year. Do the same thing for the rookie Volunteers as well. |

Mistakes happen. It's how we react to them and what we learn from them that shows what type of people we are. |

It's not fair. it's not right, but stuff like this happens. If you don't get picked for finals tomorrow, get in those stands and cheer for those who did. Remember, this is FIRST. |

Regardless of the next course of action, getting steamed and angry will benefit nobody. And coming from me, that has to mean something. |

Quitting when faced with adversity is not the answer. We have to figure out a solution within the constrainsts applied. |

I guess it all just goes back to the fact that you need to finish your robot before it goes in the crate. |

Of course, someone who can score on all rack levels while hovering autononmously 12 inches off the floor in his own home zone could probably have posted on CD while winning a regional.;) |

Listen, my team lost in the finals to that alliance, and I've never suffered a more entertaining arse-kicking. Case closed. |

The sign applause was definately one of the best moments I had ever witnessed at a FIRST event. Who knew silence could be so loud? |

The phrase "Gracious Professionalism" is being thrown around much too often to try to support anything and everything that a certain individual feels is unjust. |

I'm not certain that I agree with me on this reasoning, either. |

If anything, I believe Battle Bots is in the best interest of FIRST. Battlebots helps to create an interest in robotics, and FIRST gives us the opportunity to participate in a robotics program. |

Didn't you know? Kids today are born with GPS tracking systems installed so Mom's can look them up on Google Earth wherever they are and also know what they're doing for a living, eating the right foods and if they're dating the appropriate people. |

Until we learn to celebrate our differences with great vigor in an earnest way, we won't accomplish what we're supposed to get done. |

A mentor doesn't have to win the WFA at a competition to know that they've inspired the team. |

A game where you don't have control of your robot for long periods of time is no fun (unless, of course you are talking about autonomous :p) |

Do you think it's important? Is it actually possible for the students to change the lives of the mentors? |

I remember going to Houston in 1998 and seeing a bot that could move sideways. Talk about inspiring... |

I love our bot. I think I want to take it to prom...:D |

Yeah After we decided not to do autonomous, the robot took matters into it's own hand.
i'd bet it would get it's self DQ'd... or an award. |
