We don't build robots because it's easy, we do it because it's hard. Maybe we can work on giving new members a warmer and gentler welcome, because it's hard ;). |

every year, Dean's speeches get better. in the process, he's also teaching people to be patient. |

FIRST is about family, making new friendships, belonging somewhere, doing something you love, and finding out what your real love is in life, so when you're old and wrinkly you can look back at high school and say "This is when I found myself." |

I guess instead of focusing on the stuff we wish we could have changed, we should focus on all of the wonderful stuff we accomplished instead! |

something i thought was impossible just happened: Brandon's awesomeness level has grown exponentially! just when you think he's at his peak, he does something new and extremely cool for CD. |

It isnt about winning and losing (although getting the trophies and medals are nice) |

Its not about Poof balls or green lights or getting up on the ramp at the end, this is about the learning experience and inspiration gained throughout the year. |

Because, y'know, FIRST can't make it easy for us. |

There is something to be learned (sometimes hard to find) from everyone you meet. |

Our robot throws custom $5.50 FIRST Frisbees at a rate of 75 discs per minute and a speed of ~32 feet per second.
It costs over $80 to feed our robot for 12 seconds. |

We are not the families of competiting robot teams, but we are a family of Gracious and Professionalism, because we know it better than anyone in the world.

I think there are a ton of teams that would kill for one let alone three engineering mentors (especially one with the knowledge and experience that Rich Olivera has). |

I fear sometimes as time increases between the present and when someone started, some sight of just how hard it can be to field a functioning robot for a young team is lost. |

Every year, 118 inspires our team to dream for the stars, and land on mars. If 118 wasn't there we wouldn't be off the ground. Think about it every superstar has critics. Keep doing what you do 118. |

This season, I learned that I will need a whip next year for keeping the electronics and pneumatics groups on schedule. |

You get to see great matches at the Championship event regardless of a people's choice event. |

I looked at it and originally thought it was a crazy idea... then I looked at it again and it still sounds like a crazy idea. |

You're on a team, weren't you taught Gracious Professionalism? It doesn't only apply to competitions, it applies to the real world. |

On day two of build season, I made the mistake of saying "We have six weeks, what could possibly go wrong?" |

However, the skill of calculating things by hand and sketching by hand is something that we should continue to teach the youth (until my netbook can run Inventor :D) |

You win Worlds by innovation. You win Worlds by determination. You win Worlds by engineering a robot so solid, that it successfully completes the game. |

We want to win, but we would prefer to do so with a great partner team, not just a great partner robot. |

We're 30 pounds over LOL. I probably shouldn't be lol'ing, but it is 11:52PM, I just got home from a 15 hour build session, and I find the word 'potato' funny. |

To anyone who is discouraged about their team, don't let yourself get down. I've seen my team go from having a robot that barely moved (and I'm not kidding, we had keys falling out of gearboxes) to this year with a robot that is ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK. Don't lose hope, stick with FIRST! |
