While we all look back and appreciate the shoulders of the giants of the past upon which we are standing, let us not forget that we are the giants of today. Ours are the shoulders on which others will be standing in the future. |

If Call Me Maybe is on loop for an entire competition I'm quitting FIRST. |

The real reason I am coming to IRI is to get that Paul Copioli, he will be bearhugged, if its the last thing I do :p |

If it's anything that FIRST's competitive spirit has taught me, its to take the good with the bad. |

This is a game folks, and rules are rules, even if you kinda sorta broke one rule in the end its still broken

I thanked the tradesmen on our team the same way i do ever year with a handshake and a "thanks for helping us guys",

In my opinion, I wouldnt want gifts or praise from people about my help to a robotics team, all I would want is a thank you, that would make all my hard work and efforts worth while and it would prove to me that I could actually be making a difference in the students lives |

by the way when someone calles me a dork or geek, i tell them to look up dork and geek in the dictionary, and that i would rather be called nerd :) |

Of course even though its less than a week until kickoff, dave can still change the rules to make bearhugging me in automode a bonus |

I don't think Brandon is actually doing this, I think he has CD-47 Bot and Archiver locked in a closet doing all this while he has fun |

Thank you NASA (except for Dave, his tormenting hints make us even) |

my original intention were that the 5 of them were the power rangers, but then i thought of Copioli as the Pink Ranger and laughed... a lot |

I think that everyone should just take a step back and look at the whole picture, FIRST is a family, not an organization full of regions, we all try to help each other, not 'cause it benefits us, but because it's graciously proffesional. |

FIRST Championships event is not about winning, its about the experience, the atmosphere, the people and the sites, there are a lot of amazing things to see at The Championships. |

FIRST like life is what you make of it, if you would rather go through FIRST worrying about what other teams do to make their robots, then your destined for disappointment. if you go through FIRST making the most of it doing the best you and your team can then it doesn't matter what other teams do. |

Shouldn't we be encouraging exploration instead of repeatedly beating it with a stick? |

As everyone knows, our students don't actually design or build the robot, so to make it look like they were working on it for the video, we hid cookies inside the unfinished frame and turned them loose. It looks believable. |

The kids will still be inspired, just keep FIRST competitive. |

We are customers to FIRST. In that comes expectations. I don't want to hear another, "You should be grateful for everything FIRST does" nonsense when FIRST royally screws up. |

This is an Internet forum- if you want to relax, sit next to a pool and sun bathe. However, the rest of us will have a mature discussions and debates on the CD forums. |

It doesn't make a team better if they have just one sponsor or if they have 100 sponsors. However, you should commend a team who struggled to pay the bill with a list of sponsors one hundred long for showing their strength, perseverance and love for participating in the FIRST robotics program. |

Is FIRST making it too easy?... yes they are making it easier than years past. But I would also say that does that matter? If students are still inspired to pursue more advanced designs and eventually a career in the technology sector we still have met our ultimate goal. |

I frequently summarize the core mission of FIRST as inspiring the smartest high school kids to study science and engineering, so they don't become lawyers. (It's about 70% in jest) |

It's far easier to find ambiguity in the rules than to write them. |

FIRST robots definitely meet many commonly agreed upon definitions of robots. Some will disagree. Good for them. In my opinion, it's not worth arguing over. |

I wanted my team to be rewarded for something they do, not because they do it for the award. |

On these forums, there are so many people that we see working all of the time to try to help teams out, and just overall good people. To everyone who does that, thanks. |

... as teammates we often get too into the craze of competition and forget that this wouldn't happen without so many dedicated people. |
