There is a very fine line between passion and emotion, sometime it gets crossed. Let's not confuse the two. |

The secret to this whole thing is that it's the robot that builds the team. |

It's about compressing life into 6 weeks. It's about doing. It's about learning to fail. It's about gracious professionalism. It's about releasing the limitations that we all put on ourselves. It's about thinking outside of the box. It's about growing. |

FIRST is not a party. It is the most important activity a high school age student can do. |

The FIRST program is different. It has a different purpose. It isn't superficial, it's results are long term and lasting.
I hope that FIRST is still on message. |

You know those gravitational waves you keep hearing about recently? Those weren't created by colliding black holes, they were created by our boulders colliding with the opposing alliance's tower. |

Honestly, no one at a FIRST competition is gonna judge you. Chances are, there are least 20 people dorkier than you. |

During the year I can't wait for the game hint to be released, but then as soon as it is released and I read it for the first time my head starts to hurt and I regret reading it at all... |

A team does not achieve "Powerhouse" status by dominating every once in a while... they achieve that status by consistently dominating every year. |

I wasn't pouting; just cowering in fear because I actually thought you were mad at me... I didn't want a clipboard to the head like Billfred here. |

Screwing up is part of the game. Iterating, testing, and analyzing your failures separates the great from the average. |

Being a good engineer isn't all about engineering. It's about being able to use engineering for a practical application, and to successfully communicate your research or development results to people who aren't engineers |

When we find bugs at work, we don't ask "who wrote that section of code?" We ask "Who is the best, most knowledgeable person to work on fixing this bug?" |

We do a disservice as mentors if we simply complain. We must inspire our students by showing them how we rise to the challenge and solve the problems we face. |

As guests in the city, we should make an effort to do some fundraising for the folks affected by the storm. Any ideas out there? |

I would contend that you cannot have a consistently good robot without equally good teambuilding. |

Don't let Dean's homework assignment enter into the equation; his homework is about spreading his organization and has nothing to do with you doing what you want to do. |

I think everyone just needs to chill out and realize what the real goal of FIRST is. - Koko Ed [more]
