The one thing that no one ever list in scouting but is one of the most important factors is reliability. I don't care if the robot scores a hundred balls a match if I can't count on you being out there for the next three because it's a fragile as china. |

I still say animation is the illegitimate child of the FIRST family locked away in the attic and never spoken about. |

I always felt people get too caught up in the robot and don't see what really makes the teams function so well is the organization itself. |

Welcome to adulthood.
Remember, patience is your friend. Denial is your shield. Bitter disinterest your salve. Your endless hours of crushing workload will be your strength.
Good luck, soldier. |

Because when you build the people and the team, building the robot comes much easier. |

Because FIRST wants everyone to have a sense of accomplishment even if you didn't accomplish anything during the match. |

Instead of dreading the potential alliance think of ways to impress them so they want you to be part of it! |

Make sure you THOROUGHLY understand the rules of the game before you actually start designing the robot. |

At my age I don't celebrate birthday's anymore. I'd rather hang out with teenagers and build robots and be in complete denial about my aging. |

I'm sure FIRST did the math. They always do the math. Just not math humans use. It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it. |

You shouldn't have to apologize at all for wanting to have fun. This is supposed to be fun. You shouldn't gauge your level of enjoyment at the event based on your place in the standings. |

When Dean says it's not about the robot he really means it. We're gonna get a speech whether we want it or not and of we complain we'll get even more. |

I hope FIRST hurries up and releases the regional schedule soon. I have a vacation schedule to plan. |

To me game hints are like robot teasers. Much ado about nothing and I ignore both. |

Too many people have worked too long and too hard to have the selfish actions of one person derail our teams reputation because they want to vent online. |

Maybe FIRST made these bumper rules so IRI would have something to blow off come July. |

[IRI] is like shaving the cream that has risen to the top of each championship division putting them into a blender and serving the concoction up to the FIRST community for dessert. |

Next year they should make Roombas the game piece. They're not very effective at vacuuming the rug that's for sure. |

I'd like to think FIRST hasn't completely transformed into a money hungry self serving corporation. I'd like to think they actually still think they care about us. |
