I expect you to make mistakes and need help constantly. Just be sure each time you come to me, it's a new mistake and a different kind of help you need. This way I know you're growing. |

A mentor, by definition, provides a nuturing environment and, over time, makes themselves progressively unnecessary. |

There is no feeling greater than being a part of a group that would walk through fire with you. Complete commitment, complete trust, and total respect. |

Don't you have some rovers to redirect or something Dave? |

And we drafted without computers...forget the calculators...we used slide rules...the punchcards piled up so high we needed more office space...and we programmed in three feet of snow...up hill...both ways |

Either this entry is the winner or Andy needs professional help. I can't quite decide which... |

John is the king of vague, but then again he looks much better at a distance than he does up close :D |

Baker, you certainly are a trouble maker. :) |

Those poor suckers on the West coast get three hours LESS sleep than we do afterward. Anyone else glad to see that crate go every year, regardless of what's in it? |

We are different, on purpose, for a reason. No one in FIRST should EVER forget that.

Oh man...
20% skinnier, 40% dorkier, ... if that's what turns into one of our best mentors, I REALLY need to find a new hobby. ;) |

Travel is a LOT less expensive when you pack the grown ups in the crate. |

- Only think of Gracious Professionalism as a standard to work toward personally.
- Never use it as a gauge to point out someone else’s shortcomings. |

I sure hope kickoff comes soon. Otherwise, you're all getting sent for therapy ;) |

You are all analyzing the words of a 300 pound fuzzy Pooh Bear with a penchant for squeezing other human beings for fun. Saturday is coming fast. Go see a movie. |

In the 2010 game, FRC and FVC robots will be working together to cut Dave's hair, mow his lawn, and serve him dinner. ;) |

That'll teach me to send anyone for a tool. |

As for Dave and the stairs, just ignore him like the rest of the FRC GDC does... ;) |

Take care of what's there and you never need a replacement. |

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. |

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

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. |

when things start to get a little stressful, "FIRST: Fun Is Required. So Tolerate!" |

The fact the FIRST knows no boundaries, either geographic or cultural, is certainly one of our strongest assets as we move toward a changed culture. |

GP is an ideal to live by, but not a tool to judge with. |

How is it that so many team representatives have the time to run up the post count to astronomical levels in a game hint thread, while so few seem to have the time to say thank you for a $6K gift that funds the ability to play the game? |

Last I checked the Mars Rovers don't play any defense either and that's pretty cool stuff. |

My father taught me long ago that how we respond to adversity is what defines us as human beings. Let's all keep this definition in mind as we move forward to change a culture. |

Bottom line for us is this... By elevating what ANY team can do, we also push those outstanding teams to go even further. |

There's "FIRST the organization" and then there's "FIRST the vision for the future through a set of ideals". I've grown somewhat skeptical of the former in recent years, but, after 10 years, I'd still throw myself in front of a bus for the latter. |

I've always responded to the cries of, "robot!" with, "person!" I always get startled looks. It's fun. |

Namaste. Maybe we all one day will spend our energy trying to raise our own level to match that of the competition rather than trying to tear others down. |

It’s impossible to know who’s life you will change forever. Don’t miss an opportunity. I’m an optimist. Have a great season. This is the year. |

Like a moth to a flame, true FIRSTers are attracted by the Victor instead of the Banner. |

Yeah.... I'll pay money just for a picture of Andy [Grady] getting jiggy!
