	You know you're addicted to FIRST when...You relabled the speedometer in your parents car so that 0 is 127	Sharkbyte	RbtGal1351
	There are no easy answers... only complicated and never ending questions.	Shawn60
	FIRST's awesomeness cannot be described in numbers.	Shinglei	whlspacedude
	It kicked off today, and we already have 10 pages of posts!?!?!	ShotgunNinja	dubiousSwain
	Test your code and your assumptions.	ShotgunNinja	Whippet
	everyone here has a life outside of FIRST (some just don't want to admit it).	shyra1353	Billfred
	[Bring] programmers [to Championships], they may be small, quite and easy to miss while leaving for Atlanta but its hard to do anything robotic without them, I've tried.	Simon Strauss	Rick TYler
	Thinking (or the lack of it) will be our downfall.	sirbleedsalot	Billfred
	You should qualify the same way you eliminate if you ask me.	sircedric4	Travis Hoffman
	Eliminate the scavenger hunt, stop updating the software every two seconds, and make sure your examples and tutorials work. That will help a majority of the people I feel.	sircedric4	kamocat
	Another lesson is don't post on Chief Delphi disappointed, stop and evaluate first. Emotions suck sometimes. :-)	sircedric4	Jay Trzaskos
	My students want me to confirm if they're only allowed one submission per team? (Apparently they've gotten a sudden wave on linguistic inspiration...)	Siri	JaneYoung
	Mentors build mentors.	Siri	Joe G.
	I said it was called FIRST Robotics and the coolest thing I'd seen that day was a 150lb robot balance with another one on a teeter-tooter and and then score basketballs from 30 feet away.	Siri	KrazyCarl92
	Great things don't just happen to HoF teams; HoF teams make great things happen.	Siri	plnyyanks

	The great thing about FIRST is that there actually are 3,000 ways to win. Find yours, and leverage it.	Siri	aryker
	We can help FIRST improve the system, but we can't just blame them and wait.	Siri	Collin Fultz
	Check Chief Delphi, and if there isn't a post, make one.	sithmonkey13	Hallry
	probably another ingenious game hint planted by Dave months before anyone even thinks about a game hint!	skimoose	synth3tk
	Dave, you're going to have quite the motor pool on Mars. :D	skimoose	JaneYoung
	Holy cow! Five years in FIRST and it only gets better! Skyway has supplied wheels to FIRST for ten years. Ten years ago Dean called Ken for wheels. Ken said yes. Man, we love helping you guys and gals get good wheels. ;) Bart at Skywaywheels.com	SkywayWheels
	I'm not overdosed, I'm not even addicted. I just choose to never, ever, ever leave FIRST.	SL8	Samuel H.
	:D NASCAR is way harder than we thought.	SL8	Protronie

	Success is making a difference.	SlamminSammy
	My code mentors once told me, "A good programmer can look at a library, decide he hates it, and code everything from scratch. An amazing programmer can look at a library, decide he hates it, but realize the time it will save him and learn to use it."	slavik262	Alan Anderson
	Our robot weighed 168lbs..... bring it on Trimspa!!!	slickguy2007	Bharat Nain
	Q&A is certainly a good route to take, but depending on how gray the topic in question is, CD is certainly a good place to ask the question.	slijin	joshsmithers

	Remember to have fun! That's what the FIRST experience should be for you- a lot of fun while doing a lot of learning.	smurfgirl	octothorpe
	It's not all about the offensive "powerhouses", strategy is key.	smurfgirl	dlavery
	if you do make a marshmallow robot, that would be pretty sweet.	smurfgirl	Elgin Clock
	Hundreds of teams. Thousands of students. Countless memories. Infinite fun. You'll love it, I promise you that.	smurfgirl	Kristian Calhoun
	If they had kids, they would be a super-breed of robot builders and drivers, and would win dozens of awards per season.	smurfgirl	Katie_UPS
