Making GP a rule would be the equivalent of making a law that says you have to help get kittens out of trees. |

we came together, worked our butts off, and eventually looked at failure and decided....its just not our style. |

I would like to complain about the game as well. Complain, complain. |

We don't tell new mentors about the Mentor VIP Adults Only Lounge, you'll get your key if we approve. We have leather couches, flat screens, and free corndogs in there. |

..attitude and willingness to work as a team...are the qualities that can make or break a team. |

The reason I care about it is that I don't want minorities (whether that's females or other racial minorities) to see the STEM world as only inclusive of majorities or men. |

You can admire machines, but you don't really love them... This program has enabled me to make a difference that I believe is good for the future of humans on this planet. |

Nonetheless, I would welcome it, as long as [The President] didn't restrict the number of discs that a Robot could hold. Oops, wait, too late, the GDC already did that. :-) |

Jenny - thanks for not beating any of our team members up with their own MOE sticks! That must have taken some willpower to hold yourself back! |

FIRST teams procrastinate and slack off?!?!? The question is, if you do it in a way that keeps your grandmother proud, would that make it "Gracious Procrastinatism?" |

There are always rules we don't agree with, just like in life. Our character is defined by how we respond. |

So yeah I love the minibot because it was a great vehicle to promote our team, make new friends, and possibly make sure a team makes it past their 1st or 2nd year. |

The exceptional never stop to gloat... they're too busy figuring out new ways to make it even better... |

Good programmers always find a better way to do something, especially when it's not obvious where those improvements can be found. |

A good engineer will never stop learning. From his peers, technicians, and competitors. The field is just to vast for any one person to know it all. |

I decided I would keep coming and it just kept getting more and more fun. By the time build season started going I couldn't have quit if I wanted to ^_^ |

Capability and willingness are two very different things. Anybody can dance, though you could spend your lifetime unsuccessfully trying to convince them of that. |

FRC competitions are fun, people. If you honestly need a video game system to keep you interested, you're ignoring a tremendous experience. |

You don't see teams plastering the arena with signs saying "Show your spirit!" or "Be creative in your robot design!" or "Be sure to be innovative in your control!" |

FRC is a game of mentors. The best teams are guided by mentors who know how to balance on the knife edge of pushing the envelope and achieving success. |
