Also, I'm tired of the "FIRST is a simulation of the real world"-- it isn't. If the real world was like FIRST, there wouldn't be any need for this organization. |

7 divisions would be... interesting. |

Which puts us precisely where we were six months ago, but slightly more entertained. |

We can still do better, even if we've come a long way. |

I think that this clearly indicates that 2017 will be the year we finally see 3.63 robots per alliance. |

The extra button could also just be a spare, but that's far less interesting than other possibilities, so let's keep speculating. |

Competition isn't about the resources you don't have, it's making the most out of what you do have. |

FIRST isn't a competition. It's a learning experience. Share the knowledge, and you'll learn more because there's bound to be someone who sees something about your project that even your own team didn't realize it can do. |

Just take a chance. Dream and live. It's not a wild decision, but just ask yourself - if I got my team just a little bit more spending money, where would my team be then? Then, change that dream into a reality. Help your team sustain itself to inspire more kids. |

When you open of CD and you see your very own quote up top, and can't decide if it's a really awesome or "Well...this is awkward..." moment |

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but you don't know why. On our team, theory and practice comes together. Nothing works and nobody knows why. |

IMHO, [the driver's] job is to drive the robot. The coaches job is to monitor everything in a match that isn't your robot. |

Doughnuts would probably be a pretty good alternative to churros. However, that could be open to debate. |

The biggest thing is you don't have to make your robot like another teams. Come up with something unique and go from there. RAISE THE BAR.....

You have not only joined a robotic competition, you will discover that you are becoming a member of a very large and wonderful family. The more years that you participate, the larger your FIRST family will become. |

We have tried doing the cha-cha slide on the airplane, but that went away very quickly - it seems that the pilots don't like all the movement in the plane. |

By "resources" do you mean money (sponsor or school), school support or permission, build facilities, or mentors? All of these require different solutions. |

And the rest of the team helped them, encouraged them, and made a big deal about how awesome it was that we were competing for the Chairman's Award. |

If I was a balding man, and Dean Kamen signed MY head, I'd immediately make my way to the nearest tattoo parlor and have them make it a permanent fixture. I wouldn't have washed it off! Just saying. |

We use a student coach/team captain for Team 342. This allows us mentors to sit in the pit area during competition and just relax. Watching the competition really gets our stomachs tied in knots. |
