A Mentor is.. A person you can talk to anything about and trust them to not throw it back in your face in any way shape or form and who will help you as much as they can to deal with the problems and situations in life... |

If the fan club goes away, or isn't always right in your face doing things the public sees, does that mean the reason for the fan club is gone? Nope. |

I think I'm going to need a 12 step program to help cure me from my Cryptic Dave Lavery Chief Delphi Post Analyzation Disorder I got goin' on here. |

A lot of the time in FIRST it's not what you have when you enter the program, but what you gain from being in it. |

6 months huh? That's about the last time I posted heavily on this site (April).
Don't make me come back & whip all of you back into shape people! :yikes: |

At this point (after shipping the robot), I'm really looking forward to doing laundry, eating a square meal, and getting to bed at a reasonable hour. |

My team heard another team describe the Championships as "10,000 kids jamming the Georgia Dome for 3 days…more nerds per square foot than a Star Trek convention…and more purposefully employed "
Is this true?, Because I don't think there could possibly be a more wonderful place on earth |

Every freshman or first time FIRST student comes onto the team with little to no experience. The whole point is that you will get to learn how to do some new things. |

You don't have to build a robot to be on a robot team. This isn't about the robot, it's about learning. |

These people however realize WHEN to screw around and have fun, and when to be serious and have fun. |

I am a geek because of FIRST! Seriously, I was reeaalllllyyy boring before robotics. Not mechanically inclined at all. Now I love it! |

For every hour you spend screwing pieces of your robot together, 20 hours of important stuff goes on behind your back. |

Like fishing, some may get away as you are reeling them in, but never letting out enough line to get the big ones at the bottom is just disappointing. |

Meanwhile, it's water over the dam, spilled milk, etc. Let's drop the subject and get on with life. I am seeing people warming up their lawyerism, which is not a good thing when we are coming up on build season. |

You mean nobody else has picked up on the hint about next year's game being called "Whack the Billfred"? |

Maybe between Art, skimoose, and some of the other intelligent folks on CD (most of us), we can force a redesign of the game.... |

At first, "water game" was funny. Then it went to silly. Now it's just dumb. Not to mention unrealistic for FIRST. |

*Teams. The competitors, who wear brightly colored shirts, scream like crazy, and bring robots. Without them, there would be no competition. |

Once again, the GDC is pure evil. (Dave, Aidan, and Bill get the "pure evil genius" rating which is slightly worse.) |

FIRST has given thousands of young people (like me) a head start in life because it teaches honesty, integrity, and an appreciation of other people's hard work. - Gabe [more]
