Developing new "classes" of super-competition would totally defeat the concepts of info-sharing, partnerships, alliances, etc and create an elitist society within FIRST.

I feel that I learned more last year than any previous year because of the challenges we faced. |

The propagation of the idea of making FIRST into a perfectly fair competition is just silly. |

If you have a robot you don't need any more, use it for demos, or let a rookie team borrow it to learn wiring, programming, and demo around their school. |

FIRST is not about a robot competition . . there just happens to be one at every FIRST event. |

the best way to make things most unfair is to have different rules for different people. |

I think FIRST is a big trap. They lure you in with these cool competitions and shiny robots and along the way they trick you into learning something :) |

Computers have a nasty habit of doing exactly what you tell them to do instead of what you want them to do. |

..the way we see it FIRST isn't about winning a robot contest, its about trying your best to complete a really really hard task in a really really short amount of time. |

When everyone is exactly even, who do you look up to for ideas and inspiration? |

Instead of lowering a team's expectations, let's raise the amount of competitive resources available to them. ;) |

A lot of people forget this when posting, but your posts here on ChiefDelphi will more or less be here forever. Do you really want that post you just be made to be on the Internet forever?... Post wisely... |

I have always been of the opinion that if the mechanicals are making noise they are trying to talk to you. |

On a side note... "Think outside the robot." - I kinda like that. I'll have to use that in a meeting someday.... |

Competition and inspiration go hand in hand. Those who inspire will be pushed to do it again and again by those who see this as a healthy competition. Those who are inspired will compete to be an inspiration to others. You can have your cake (competition) and eat it (inspire) too.

dont be afraid of new technology. embrace it and experment with it figure out the problems on the way and then tell us about it so it gets easier. |

The most successful FIRST sponsor would be the one that put the most HS students into science and engineering programs at colleges and universities.

I believe everyone should give a modicum of repsect to each person they meet for the first time. After that it is up to them as to whether to give you a reason to increase that respect or detract from it. |

Think outside the bot.
Find a different regional someplace you never considered before. There's plenty of them. |

Hmmm I think I hear phones ringing. Panic calls to the Rules committee to figure out how to close THAT loophole, which you could drive a truck through. Have you considered a career in Law? |

If you look closer, you'll see I did those photos over a period of years... and they were only done with one program... but yeah, a little free time with no where to direct it and I can become, um, creative... |
