Andy Baker is so awsome, that his presence alone at the competition caused the scoring system to crash....multiple times...at all 8 regionals. |

We did the best job we could out there, and unfortunatly we have human limits.. The refs don't catch every penalty, inspectors don't catch every issue, and this year the score keepers won't catch every single ball. |

If you have time at a competition, stop and thank some of the people wearing the crew shirts. They are working very hard to make sure the competition goes as smoothly as possible. |

One time I had to write a report on "What is Gracious Professionalism?" I wrote down "Andy Baker" and got an A+. |

Chuck Norris can be the human player and throw a Poof ball into the 3 point goal and it counts. |

For fun, someone ought to spread out a bunch of petri dishes or something all over a regional and see what you bring home with you. Or not. |

FIRST isn't only about winning, it is about making friends, gracious professionalism, and having fun. |

I guess everyone cant play real defense, like actually pushing the other robot instead of ramming it with the intent to destroy.

If this strategy backfires on any alliance that attempts it, they will have no one to blame but themselves. Be smart - know the risks before proceeding. |

Lucky breaks and trying to minimize failures or moments of retardedness are what these games are all about, like any sport. |

what is FIRST?...It's about innovation, hard work, inspiration, teaching, learning, experiment, strategy, competition, meeting new people, being inspired, aiming high and changing paradigms...Really, FIRST is what you make of it. |

I mean, there is a 40 second period where your alliance has to play defense, so you might as well play it well. |

You can't guarantee outcomes -- only effort. If your team did its best, be satisfied. |

More to the point, stop worrying about whether your "Atlanta bot" got screwed over or whatever. Worry about whether you've got an "Atlanta team."

Its not about Poof balls or green lights or getting up on the ramp at the end, this is about the learning experience and inspiration gained throughout the year. |

Thanks to everyone who made the regional possible - I know my team had a blast and I'm pretty sure most other teams did too. |

we were sick and tired of compromises: "speed or torque", "traction or maneuverability", etc.; bump that, we want it all. all we had to compromise was simplicity. |

Here, and in general, avoid jumping to conclusions without research. This will serve you well in life.

kids under stress + poor eating habits + even worse food+ walking around a cold ice rink all day + contact with 100s of kids from all over the world = robo flu. Maybe the virus going around is the real "FIRST fever" |

If you are playing foozball and your ball bounces back out of the goal, do you expect the table's manufacturer to fix it? No - you groan and keep playing! Nothing's different here. Like Dave said, it's part of the challenge of playing the game. |

So perhaps those that are so eager to complain might realize that if they spent a little less time complaining and a little more time analyzing the problem and developing solutions, then they might have a little less to complain about. |

you can't eat a poof ball. its filled with magic smoke. it'd kill you quicker than a robot rampaging in autonomous mode, when you have the green light strapped to your face. |

Football has been a school institution for over 100 years--we can't expect FIRST to show the same potential in a 10th of that. |
