The best we can all do for our kids as parents, mentors and world citizens, is to model [Gracious Professionalism] always: not to win an award, but because it is the right thing to do. |

We found our bandsaw on Craigslist for $40. We keep looking for laser cutters and waterjets in that price range, but so far no luck. |

We are different, but in our differences we help the world continue to grow, change, become inspired. Different is NOT bad. Be true to your self, be weird, be dorky, be crazy, be a geek. :) |

Students design and build it, the engineers/mentors are there to guide us when we stray off the path. A great way to learn, a great way to mentor, a great way to grow. |

254 isn't just good at building their robot. They're also good at taking pictures of it. |

I believe in my students, I encourage them to fail in their endeavors to find the best formula. There is valuation in failure. |

The competition is different - everybody really "wins" by all of the great things teams think of to do for other teams and the community. |

COMPETE like crazy for the 2 minutes you are on the field,
COOPERATE like crazy all the rest of the time.
When we play this way, we all win. |

But now the most important question - is there a practical application for one of these devices on a FIRST robot? |

The engineers and mentors provide the "I" in FIRST and FIRST would be nowhere near where it is today without this exceptional leadership shown by so many of these volunteers. |

One key, esspecialy for newer teams, is to understand that the game rule book and design requirements are requirements, not suggestions. |

As a team sponsor, we are more concerned with the behavior, attitude and commitment to FIRST ideals than specific performance in the competition. Some of our teams perform well, some struggle, some are in the middle. We support them all in every way we can. |

Why is it considered shameful to do the smart thing? As the saying goes, "I don't make the rules, I just live by them."

My point is that there seems to be a trend in FIRST in which people are saying "who cares about the robots, let's inspire the students." What I'm saying is, it's the robots that inspire the students. |

Teams that TRY to win and TRY to do their best end up having students that learn more, learn the value of hard work, and are inspired by the process. |

teams that REALLY deserve to win will find ways to overcome a marginal officiating decision. Also, teams that REALLY deserved to win will try not to put themselves in that position. |

...your education can be interesting and even fun. If you look a little farther down the path, you WILL "use this crap", and "this crap" can even be cool if you know how to use it. |

To me, FIRST is about having students realize that there IS an answer to the age old high school question: "when are we ever going to use this crap?" |

Overall, I thought FIRST did a great job with the rules this year - very simple and very clear for the most part. However, something is always going to fall through the cracks (and I don't mean that in a bad way - people need to know that it's practically impossible to do something perfectly). |

I guess my point is, let's see how it plays out before we condemn it to failure. |

When there appears to be something stupid wrong with a game (HPs outscoring robots, unreliable loading, autonomous that accomplishes nothing) I shouldn't complain about it. I should see it as a challenge to exploit! |

Obama's got to stop saying all of these FIRST like statements and should just give us money and show up at Championship. |
