That little 18 amp-hour battery has a really hard life in a FIRST robot. |

FIRST is supposed to prepare you for a focused career in your subject of interst, and help you manage your time and resources effectively. |

Dance Dance Revolution is the only solution. That rhymed. I should not be on chief at this hour of the morning. >_< |

I'm nervous for those awesome rookie teams that you may not know about much but that just come and do awesome with some fantastic strategy...Rookies rock. |

I'm sure there are many people out there who check their rep screen every 20 minutes in hope of positive reinforcement in a unique community, where they may not get positive reinforcement for sharing information in their home, school, or robotics program. |

Now, everyone knows that Oompaloompas are like bunnies in that they have an insatiable desire to multiply, and the same can be said with Michigan teams (with all due respect) which are currently multiplying and filling that hand-shaped democratic kingdom with their honorable number. |

Rules can be rewritten, problems can be fixed, but peoples' feelings are far from inanimate - they need more consideration than just being "corrected". |

No matter their age, no matter their generation, every mentor and student must be responsible for their actions, and for understand that compromise and maturity are the paths to team success. |

We can read about torque and speed in books, we can build a robot and drive it, but determination and character are built by time and encouragement, not just by studying. |

You want to be treated like a professional, so you need to continue to act like one even if the odds are against you. |

If all else fails - bring cookies in the shape of FIRST shapes. Cookies are always good. |

If you do mentor FIRST, be an asset to your team, but know that your students will admire you all the more if you set an example and finish your own homework. |

It's about picking a good alliance, not good robots. |

I don't care if you use hot dogs for wheels. If you're scoring points, and you fit the strategy, it's fine. |

FIRST is supposed to be a learning experience. Learn first, win awards later. |

I'd be more worried about getting struck by lightning right after winning the lottery. :p |

I'd be upset if someone threw away my robotics shirts. Because then I'd have no shirts. |

I have also emailed Dean Kamen for more information regarding our team and its future, as I may have confused myself a bit. |

This is a benefit of the district model. It brings the events back into the schools. |

It will be really cool if it works, sad if if doesn't. We got our fingers crossed! |

We didn't need a championship to recognize the kids on our [little league] team and we sure didn't need one to inspire them. If you want to go to the championships then work harder, don't try and lessen the value of the championships by letting everyone in. |

FIRST for me is getting to opportunity to learn from the smartest people I know, the mentors. |

Mentors are here to guide and explain not to decide and do. |

I don't think that FIRST is going to get better with a top down solution alone, it is going to take a grass roots effort to strengthen teams. That starts by teams getting off their "islands", self imposed or otherwise. |

The point of FIRST is to get a wide range of kids together and have them work as a TEAM. |

They have a ton of spirit but they are somewhat humble in their application of it. |

Our prototypes are good and running, now just need to do some magic to transform all that wood to aluminum. :eek: |

They already tried that... But here is the thing: it wasn't a bunch of guys in white coats. It was 3 guys: 1 in denim, 1 with a pony-tail, and 1 with a bright colored shirt.... |

What I learned from week-1 is that once again my son has been inspired to the level that he came home after the BAE Systems Granite State FIRST Robotics Regional Competition with the biggest smile I have seen on his face for a long long time. I am truly grateful for that. |
