FIRST is not about a robot competition . . there just happens to be one at every FIRST event. |

you know the FIRST season is never over . . it just pauses a while so you can get some sleep. |

I also would not recommend shipping the gerbils with the robot. |

Each match is a learning experiance - the only thing you can do is get better. |

Building a robot is one thing - but the fun I have had with my mentors, parents, and other students on team outings is something I cherish. |

Mentors: Don't give up folks, your efforts are not in vain. The kids get something out of it whether we get acknowledgment or not. |

One time I had to write a report on "What is Gracious Professionalism?" I wrote down "Andy Baker" and got an A+. |

ask not what your alliance picks can do for you, but what you can do for your alliance picks. |

Naw, basketball isn't nearly as great a sport as FRC. They play for the money. We play for honor, dignity, and respect. |

All the robots win, because we built them and they work. ;) |

Oh great, look what you just did. The GDC will probably find ways to use this to torture teams in 2011. I hope you're happy now. |

Certainly more interesting to watch than driving around in circles on a flat field. Sorry, 2008. |

Welcome to ChiefDelphi a month before Kick-Off. This is an annual traditional experience for quite a few regulars. |

The weight sounds about right, too. If you need more than 65 pounds for your manipulator, then the drivetrain isn't the part you should be redesigning... |

In my opinion, FIRST is better than a sport. |

I also like how the FTC folks are able to get involved with the FRC process this year, but it's always a bit of a let down when you're told you can't launch things into the air. |

Wait, does this mean TV isn't real? I'm shocked and appalled. |

A good way to minimize the possibility of breaking things is to minimize the number of things that can break. |

Weight down low is a good thing. Weight up high is not. |

Grease your gearboxes folks! Gears need grease, otherwise they kerplode. |

Just because its a robotics competition does not mean everybody is a big dork. |

If you are "retiring" the old ball, make all the lights green, hang it 8 feet in the air, line up a bunch of 'bots and let 'em shoot poofs. RoboPinata! (warning kids - don't eat the "candy" that falls out!) |

It's not very graciously professional to point out the un-gracious professionalism in others.

I don't care what the team numbers said, on Friday there were no rookies there. |

Just the fact we were selected to compete in the eliminations energized the kids more than anything I had seen |

I predict the champion drive teams at each event of the 2011 season will consist of vertebrates. |
