Blue shirts are ALWAYS watching. And they have spies everywhere. Always be on your best behavior, and be polite to every volunteer at the event. |

I think rovers on Mars are way cool but you won't get a crowd of enthusiastic participants cheering as they trudge 150 meters a day. |

As my boy Macklemore once said, "The greats weren't great because at birth they could paint, the greats were great because they paint a lot". |

Making a part look pretty even after it is functionaly done can be a very good thing, espically when the part gets cut from the bot and you get to keep it as a trophey. Take pride in your work. |

Sometimes, you just have to beat something (someone?) into submission. Yes, you can use your head, but its a lot easier with a hammer. |

I've never liked the pressure pads. This just confirms my suspicions: Pressure pads hate robots. It must be some inferiority complex or something. |

My suggestion is to first focus in on your drive base. Get it running, and drive it into the ground and see what breaks. Then fix it. Rinse wash and repeat. |

Our job as mentors isn't to teach them how to make a robot...It's to teach them that there is value in technology and being among the people who create it. |

If I find a student on my team who came through FIRST having learned nothing more then he wanted to go to MIT, I'll give my self a pat on the back and start counting down to kickoff.

Belts are a fine way of transferring power in a robot. Like chains, gears, drive shafts, viscous couplings or any other means of transmission they require some care and attention on you're part. But no one said this robot stuff was going to be a cake walk. |

FIRST is not about robots or which roller coaster we get to ride... it is about people. |

For Pete's sake, don't concentrate on the entry itself... concentrate on what your team is doing to make an impact in your community. |

You can design and theorize all you want, but the sooner you get to testing your ideas and seeing how things actually work, the better off you will be. |

FIRST *is* about winning, and it has made many of us winners... I am glad to be a part of it. |

Building a 'bot is kinda like washing your hair, but instead of "rinse, lather, repeat"... you should "engineer, test, repeat". |

push for what you think is right... just do it in the right way |

More teams will want to join, peers who are not on the team will understand the program better, television will become interested in FIRST again, sponsors will be easier to get, cancer will be cured, the Israelis and Palestineians will live in harmony, and we will have world peace. |

In the end, if our products are crap, then people will not buy them. This is the risk of doing business, and the foundation of capitalism. |

The few people who don't ever make mistakes are the same people who simply don't do anything. What people do after they make a mistake tells others what they are made of. |

(The wheels) need to be green anodized, and then assembled with yellow anodized spinners. ... and then, on the spinners, you can etch "JVN is a dweeb". That would be cool. |
