I don't hate many things, but time-wasting and false dilemmas are amongst the few. |

A few months from now I'll be walking to school and then I'll suddenly be attack by a rogue robot trying to feed me a golden ball or something wont I? |

Taking some parts from an old robot isn't cheap, it's like adding a piece with more experience to the new robot. |

Why climb up to the scaling rungs when you can move the entire field down to your robot's height? |

EVERYONE on the team is offered the same opportunities to be a team player, it is up to each person to step up and play the game. |

Everyone knows the best way to lose weight is to turn the robot upside down, shake vigourously, and throw away anything that falls out. |

There are a lot of great teams that impress me, but four that really stand out... Our team doesn't want to beat these teams, we want to be these teams. |

Recently my wife and I met some mentors from Michigan with their wives at Disney World. It seems that I'm not the only mentor who needs to bribe their wives with vacations before they sign up to mentor FRC for another year... |

The purpose of the game rules is not to imagine and categorically list everything you should not do, but to give you guidelines of FIRST's intent and leave it to your developing good judgment to know what's acceptable and what is simply skirting the rules. |

Nutritionally speaking I didn't get enough (MOE) green in my FIRST diet this year! |

I love it when the robot's develop personality quirks. |

Sorry, solenoids don't speak English.
You can talk at them, but they won't answer except maybe to sigh... |

It would be interesting to be able to take robots from multiple years and invent new games they can play together (Calvin Ball). |

It's often not the code you are focused on that causes problems, but the code you dismiss out of hand as "unrelated". |

I have photos of students working the lathe dressed for a concert! Makes me wish for a formal dress night at robotics. |

We use the engines of our imagination on the robot all the time.
FIRST being an engine of change after all. |

The thrills of a heroic repair, a well deserved award, a compliment on our efforts, the growth of our team members, making new friends.... These can make a memorable and exciting FIRST regional as much as a close match. |

Competitions are won or lost far away from witnesses, ... In those long hours, is where we find inspiration in ourselves. For what inspires is not another's feats, but realize we have the power in ourselves to achieve that feat. |

I want my students to learn passion. I want them to care so much about what they are doing that they infect other people with it... be that FRC or anything else. |

I never wanted to be a teacher.
This was the year I learned that I am one. It turns out mentors are teachers. Oops. |

Your team has a cave?!?!? OMG, how did you guys get that?!?! Do you have a cave sponsor? We tried talking to cave sponsors but none of them responded. You guys must be an elite team to have a cave. |

I voted to keep Stop Build Day but only for students. Mentors get to keep working on the robot. |
