So, if you feel your team is at a disadvantage, or the playing field isn't level.... Do something about it. |

I didn't get inspired watching my peers and I, I was inspired watching professionals. |

I don't think we really fit into those rigidly defined categories, my team builds our robot. |

In engineering, it's important to use the appropriate tools and not more resources than are required. |

Half your robot could be broken, some drive chains snapped, a drive motor burned out, etc... and your WCD will still be trucking. |

No, but you have access to the most powerful machine tool of all; a telephone. We had zero machining sponsors, now we've probably had over 30 unique shops run parts for us; All we did was ask. |

If anything, I believe Battle Bots is in the best interest of FIRST. Battlebots helps to create an interest in robotics, and FIRST gives us the opportunity to participate in a robotics program. |

I learned about how FIRST really is about so much more than a robot competition, it is about team building and the individual. |

The object of the team is not to design, build and compete a robot, it is to design, build and compete students. If after four years we have opened a student's eyes to the infinite possibilities they have in their life, it is worth all the effort. |

In the end the important thing is that the rookie members who make up the majority of our team were inspired and will try much harder next year. :) |

It doesn't matter what goes wrong as long as you have fun. We all thought this was one of our best trips, even though we were second to last in our divison. |

It's all about bragging rights, awards, and pushing the envelope, not necessarily winning or practicality. |

Thank you FIRST -- thank you, thank you, thank you -- I can't say that enough. We can't say that enough.... Its too bad that more of us don't try. |

You can expect to see the the same old same old again this weekend! Another set of fantastic experiences for thousands of kids across the country. And once again, Mission Accomplished. |

[on the 2007 field control software] its crazy -- not only did they sound like the same old sound effects we know and love, but it seemed like they actually occured at the time they were supposed to! :) |

...regardless of anything that happens, there should be no booing at competitions, only cheers. True, many of us want to win, but in the end, all of us are working to expand FIRST and to promote the inspiration and recognition of science and technology through gracious professionalism. |

I personally think any student should be allowed to participate, as long as he/she is helpful and active. FIRST, to me, is about inspiration, not elitism. |

FIRST is inspiration. No matter how you do it, you learn something. Stop being silly. Stop making accusations. Go build robots. Now. |
