If you have time to complain about how other people are making a difference, it's clear that YOU are not working hard enough to make a difference. |

I'm now convinced that the entire 2015 season was an elaborate ploy by FIRST to get teams to stop complaining about bumpers. |

To the best engineers, scientists, and thinkers, something that is "hard" isn't something to avoid; it is something that begs for us to prove that we can do it. STEM is built on the very idea of trying something, failing, and trying something different. |

You'll find that there are plenty of teams and individuals who shout. You'll also find there are a smaller subset of teams and individuals that do. Those that do tend to be the ones that get their way. |

It's not about taking risks, but more about identifying them (which is the hardest part) and reducing them. |

There will inevitably be enough unintentional failure in any endeavor we take on that adding intentional failure on top of that seems unnecessary. |

We're all human, we all make mistakes. How you deal with mistakes and problems, is what really elevates successful people, robotics teams, organizations, etc. above the rest. |

Same as regrets in life: Learn from them.
This is called "growth". |

A problematic dynamic and culture becomes apparent when failure persists for such a duration and reoccurs so frequently that students begin to accept it as the norm, and never learn the proper way to do things. |

In an education culture that hinges on having the perfect grades and perfect SAT scores to get into the perfect colleges, I enjoy providing an environment where students are encouraged to test their own hypothesis, challenge their assumptions, and regularly fail. |

To think that the seminal work on the FRC experience is about the least favorite game of all time, being played by a team that no longer exists, is either the height of insanity or a master stroke of inspiration. |

While those ideals might exist in black and white perfection; in the real world, with very rare exception, they can only be implemented as compromises in shades of gray. |

There is a problem getting girls interested in STEM. Swift, immediate action is required. Continuing to stay the course leads to disaster. |

When more STEM teams exist outside schools than in them, that will be one indication that a true cultural change has occurred. |

I think there is much to be learned from working in teams, and team projects, but even more when you go out on your own some time for something you are truly passionate about. |
