I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised. |

I get in enough trouble mentoring one team. If I did five teams I'd be less one wife. |

Super Regional? I don't know...if you combine NJ and Philly the universe might tear a hole in itself...and we wouldn't want that now would we? Mwahaha. |

The real world does not go together like an Erector set. FIRST robots should not either. |

Teams should make it a practice to protect their Victors (all the electronics, really) from the mechanical folks, with their saws and files and stone axes... |

I like the way you are saving weight by cutting out the center of the speed controllers. |

If people played without PDA's back when FIRST had this addiction to nigh-impossible-to-calculate-in-your-head multipliers, then we can play without PDA's now. |

Calculate everything. You won't need to make speed holes if you figure it all out beforehand and get it taken care of. |

I think I have a warning label saved somewhere on my computer that says "Warning: All photos taken with this camera may be photoshopped" but I keep forgetting to put it on my camera. |

You are not allowed to think outside of the box, but you are allowed to think diagonally in the box. |

Whatever you do though, don't get into an "us versus them" mentality with your mentors. They are there to help. |

How easy will it be for a driver to control 5-6 different motions at once? Most drivers only have two hands. |

Don't let Dean's homework assignment enter into the equation; his homework is about spreading his organization and has nothing to do with you doing what you want to do. |

Remember, FIRST is a great opportunity that will get you ahead in the long run but don't forget about the short run either. |

FIRST teams procrastinate and slack off?!?!? The question is, if you do it in a way that keeps your grandmother proud, would that make it "Gracious Procrastinatism?" |

I believe you have the right to develope your own opinion. I would suggest it be based on actual experience and facts. |

[on the 2007 field control software] its crazy -- not only did they sound like the same old sound effects we know and love, but it seemed like they actually occured at the time they were supposed to! :) |

I personally think a large trophy and that warm, fuzzy feeling you get inside is a satisfactory prize for winning a competition. |

Only time will tell for sure, but it seems that the current software providers are hatching up a pretty good solution to the problem. |

FIRST will continue searching for rules and procedures to keep us from hurting ourselves. However, none of this will substitute for judicious application of common sense. |

The first team that uses a lawyer to interpret the rules should be disqualified from all competitions, just on general principles. |

And then, at the end of the match, the drive teams who are being lifted all say at once (in a GOVERNATOR voice)- "GET TO ZE CHOPPER!!!" |

Spouting off without all of the facts is a bad idea. It's also bad to envoke the gods of "Gracious Professionalism" to judge others. |
