FIRST is a community unlike the public at large, with the distinction lying on its gracious professionalism. I have no doubt that the community will continue to uphold and cherish this unique characteristic through difficult events such as this. |

How many computer programmers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Woah, no. That's a hardware problem. |

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the robot is never truly finished. |

There's no better way to start your FIRST career then opening a box and getting free stuff from Andy Baker! |

The honor from any given job is not so much what you are doing, but how you do it; the hardest working garbage man deserves more honor then the laziest super hero. |

A wise man told me a few nights ago, that it is important to own up to all your mistakes, so that others can see you doing that and wont deny and try to hide their own. |

Nobody has ever complained that someone was too willing to share their knowledge of building robots or their new ideas for anything. |

Finish... what an interesting concept. I'm still hoping to do that to our 2003 bot. |

KISS does not mean that your goals and capabilities are "simple", it means that the way you achieve them is simple. |

FIRST describes this program as students working "side by side" with professional mentors. We describe our team as working "shoulder to shoulder." Maximum learning happens with maximum interaction between students and mentors, whenever and wherever that may be. |

FIRST Isn't just about the robots, it's about Gracious Professionalism, co-opetition, and outreach also. |

It is amazing how much a person's participation in FIRST can shape his/her character. |

I think another really awsome thing about FIRST can be summed up by what Dan, the Wildstang operator, said when they won nats: "I built that!" I mean, the feeling of satisfaction you get knowing that something you created can perform such unbelievable tasks is amazing. |

Let the team grow, let them fail, let them learn and always be ready to lend a helping hand. I think that's the best way to help rookie teams. |

Winning is important.
Learning is important.
Inspiring students is important.
Teaching Students is important.
Figuring out how to do all of these at the same time, in my opinion, is the meaning of FIRST. |

A robot is replaced every season by the next robot, but a friend, team member, mentor, and memories will never be replaced. |

It is great to be proud of the way you do things, but to imply that everyone should match your way of thinking, is ludicrous. |

I always say find what works best for your team, for your given situation. Why should we rely on someone else to tell me what will work best for our situation? |
