Quality has nothing to do with desire – you can’t wish quality. Quality has nothing to do with time, or money, or the other guy’s attitude. Quality has everything to do with craftsmanship. |

We want to be a positive force in our community, and maybe to encourage our country’s best and brightest to go to work for the ones who’ve put themselves in harm’s way. |

It’s not that we don’t have the time to teach first principals; it’s more that we (FIRST) don’t need to. |

What’s in a name? That which we call a robot, by any other word would smell of magic smoke. |

There's the problem!! The #1 reason to blame the programmers: They always forget to grease their code. :rolleyes: |

Did you know that if a G7, G27, G28, and G20 occur in that order at the same time, then the referee will appear to be doing the "YMCA"? :) |

This reminds me of a sports bar where there's a bunch of games on different TV's. Only this is better because it's FIRST. :D |

Why silence the rude ones and naysayers when you could have the students learn to deal with them? |

Well i guess the only thing left for me to do is tip my hat and call Karthik, Chris Hibner, EricH and Bill Gold my daddy. |

Your team will be more of a team and not a group of students who are just building a robot. Instead of being in FIRST, you will be FIRST. |

Just think of the deadline as your six week deadline for FIRST, just when you think you can't do it, you are amazed by what you can do. |

Without fail, judges always come by when the spokespeople are in the bathroom, so others should be able to cover until they're back. |

I had so much to say but I dont know how to get it accross -- but to all of you that we were involved with this weekend, thankyou for everything -- we're changing lives, and we truly are moving mountains, in more ways than one. |

Most of all, I long to give others a chance to experience what I did with FIRST, to give people from my home town that opportunity, because FIRST really is that once in a lifetime opportunity that so many people dont get a chance to be a part of. It shouldnt be that way. |

Once you go to your first (FIRST) competition... thats when you fall in love with it. |

I began to see myself as an independent person who was not only being inspired, but able to inspire others and strengthen the FIRST program as a whole. |

We all change, and we need to make sure that we can grow and change together in a positive way. Keep close the people who are capable of doing this with you, and you will surround yourself with the tools for success. |

It is a good idea to try to stand in another person's shoes and treat them as your equal. It's called respect. |

They see us come into school looking like zombies, and they know that some people start smelling like chain lube and such...but for the most part, they don't realize that for a lot of us, there is a deep commitment to our team that we do a very large amount of work for that team. |

FIRST is not about building robots, it is about building people; the robots are just a good way to get the people there. |
