Isn't that sort of like asking "is that an African or European swallow?" |

Wisdom is knowing the difference between "the way to do things" and "the right way to do things." Just because an action may be physically possible does not mean that it is smart to do. |

"This is the year that everyone on CD is going to learn to spell."
"This is the year that everyone on CD will make a serious effort to write grammatically correct sentences."
"This is the year that everyone on CD will think BEFORE they post."
... nah. |

Actually, please don't put any limits on your ideas or creativity at this point. Brainstorm, innovate, and contemplate whatever ideas you might like to consider. |

I will never forget Dean's opening lines: "I want you to know that I am here under protest. I believe that everything you are doing here is repugnant and ethically wrong. And now I am going to tell you why..." And for the next 35 minutes, that is exactly what he did. |

The battery needs to be velcro-ed, strapped, buckled, tied, bolted, glued, zipped, or stapled in place so that it can't fall out when (not if) the robot turns upside-down. |

There are times when all of us - myself included - need a virtual *poink* to the back of the head and someone to say "wake up and stop behaving like a three-year-old." |

The best legacy of this little machine is the inspiration she provided to a whole generation of future explorers who witnessed the unveiling of a planet through the eyes of a robot. |

"FIRST" is not a verb (yet - give us time, and we will see what happens). |

If my counts are correct, during the official matches 141,077 points were scored, and a minimum of 28,746 frisbees were successfully shot into goals. All without a single decapitation, severed limb, or even one porpoise becoming accidentally entangled in the nets. |

The stated goals of FIRST are to inspire a culture that values science and technology. Inspiration needs Motivation. What motivates people? Competition. |

So we had forklifts in 2015 and now front end loaders in 2017. First has really embraced the industrial side of robotics. |

I think one of they beauties of the program is how it can include so many different interests our students have. |

Would FIRST be as amazing if not for CD? I mean it would still be this amazing place for students and mentors to be but the explosion of innovation and gathering of people together across communities has to have been greatly effected by CD. |

It's easy to get overwhelmed. Don't get overwhelmed, just keep working at things a little bit at a time. (Oh, and don't forget to have fun!) |

By seeing other robot designs, teams can plan before hand on how to defend or defeat it.

No offense, but telling the Killer Bees they should do something is like telling Micheal Jordan how to dunk a basketball (or Lebron James for you young'ens who don't know who Michael Jordan is)...

It is a difficult balancing act - we're engineers because we like to solve problems, and to take a step back and let someone else solve it, with what may be a poorer solution, is darn hard.

Actually, I think the standard Klingon warning label ought to be sufficient: 'yIQIpQo' (don't be stupid) - Alan Anderson [more]
