	Does FIRST know about some rare inverted mushroom that I do not?	sanddrag	Taylor
	Some companies cut costs (and cut corners to do so). Some work hard to build loyal customers. Which would you rather purchase from?	sanddrag	RoboDesigners
	your time is better spent in the stands, watching what the robots actually do, as opposed to listening to the builders talk about what they're [I]supposed[/I] to do.	sanddrag	Taylor
	Any adult can open a door. Some can give direction. A few can give leadership. These are the true mentors. This is where true success comes from.	sanddrag	Hallry

	First thing I do after the kickoff broadcast is start typing in my credit card number...	sanddrag	the programmer
	Here's some food for thought: Does your FRC program need the students, or do the students need your FRC program?	sanddrag	CalTran
	Maybe FIRST could get a sponsorship from Ikea, and we all could get flat-packed field parts with pictoral assembly instructions. And then all the parts could have funny names.	sanddrag	Pat Fairbank
	Purpose over pimpness is a policy that we are trying to adhere to.	santosh	Jeff K.
