Take what you have learned, build on it and share it. Others will do the same. Enjoy the journey. |

Figure out where you have to start and what end result you want, from there, all you have to fill in is the middle. |

What I would really love to see is having the teams try to solve a problem that is real scientists are trying to solve right now. Wouldn't it be cool if a team came up with a robot design that could solve one of the world's worst problems? Talk about FIRST publicity! |

a big part of FIRST is to educate everyone, even those "stupid freshmen" about science and technology. |

Whether or not your team has the technical mentors, as long as your kids are still inspired by the adult technical mentors of other teams, and get the picture that we're trying to portray in this program, the best that you can do is the best you can do. Do it, and be proud of your results. |

When it all comes down to it, it's not gonna be the medal around your neck that makes the difference, but the memories that you think about when you look back on how you got there that makes the difference. |

While [a college FIRST competition] would be pretty fun, I think that you'll see this build season that mentoring is a heck of a lot of fun too. (except when the kids pretend to cut their fingers off to see your reaction) |

You know, I have 2 big addictions in my life right now: ice cream, and FIRST. While the prior may not be great for my health, I think I'm doing just fine with FIRST. |

Enjoy doing what you do. If you enjoy your life, what you're doing in it, and how you're living it, then what other people say or think doesn't matter. |

I guess this means we have to work on becoming super-flexible and always be ready for our close-ups at robotics from now on? |

No really though, a robot game with rules similar to Risk. This would combine FIRST, Battlebots, and US Government... |

Here is one really important thing I learnt this season:
If you do it for yourself, you ain't gonna make it. If you do it for you're team, You'll make it. |

We would expect our bot to be done by Week 5, but usually its about a day or two before shipping and then the ever-famous "all nite programmin' n driva trainin'" is done. |

...many different kinds of students join our team. Some only have an interest in media, or others in cheering. What is important is that they are having fun while working in an engineering environment. |

In any case, a drawing is important. You should never machine anything without having a drawing of some type to work from. |

Also, the judges don't give out awards for money. They give out awards for hard work and effort. |
