But then again, no one's robot ever is fully working to how they want it before the first tournamant. |

the Robotics team isn't just a club, it's a family. |

By the end of week six, I'm sick of looking at the robot enough that stuffing it in a bag is rather cathartic...:rolleyes: |

Is CAD essential to all teams?
No, but neither are power tools. |

Many would say it is both gracious and professional to make sure your robot will not damage another team's robot. |

now now, there is no such thing as reading the manual too much. I read it every night just before I go to bed. |

I think FIRST is a big trap. They lure you in with these cool competitions and shiny robots and along the way they trick you into learning something :) |

I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised. |

remember FIRST is just an extracuricular activity in which most of the work is technichan's work...what gets you into college are good grades and a good course load...as my mom always said, "getting good grades gives you the freedom to chose to be whatever you want and go wherever you want" |

this is robotics--everything is going to go wrong at some point, it's how we deal with it that counts |

Mentors need to be sure that the team is on track to have a working robot ready. Students can do almost everything, but they need help watching the calender. Even if your ideas turn out bad, if your robot is inspectable and running when you arrive at your first event, anything can happen. |

FIRST is like a big roller coaster, that can only be experianced if one takes a ride which can become a liftime experiance. |

The most important deisgn criteria is always performance in any of the parts / systems we design. But we do try to abide by the saying -- if it doesn't look good (right), it probably isn't good (right). |

What really matters is what you got out of the FIRST season, and how you can use it to build on what you know.

Uhh... we were supposed to be building a robot? *looks at giant wooden Trojan Rabbit in the corner that was built instead for the past 6 weeks* Whoops... |

I then thought "hmm, who would want to attack the FIRST website?" I guess unfortunately the answer to that would be "Mother Nature." |

Maybe you should whack it a few times with a hammer. That always seems to fix our robots. |

I'm not basing success on winning a regional. Success is learning by building the best system you can. In the engineering industries, the best system is the one chosen. |

I've got much more out of FIRST ever since I stopped and realized I can gain so much more from trying to improve my current team's situation rather than complain about teams who have more. |
