Being called coach for the first time by some of my team. My dad was a football player and when I told him that story he teared up a bit. Me? A Coach? |

I am always torn between running a family and running a team... I guess the difficulty is in supporting the team as a whole before the individual...or alongside the individual. |

Minus the one time when our Autonomous mode actually reversed, ran into the robot behind us, and lodged them into the rear wall |

How are we as mentors and coaches presenting ourselves? We we are is who they will emulate. It is the nature of coaching, the nature of leading. |

Every year I develop new connections and greater friendships with FIRSTers - and every year I am surprised to find just how many amazing people there are here. |

It is not your banners that make you nor the trophies that line your walls. It is the willingness to be brave in the face of defeat and compassionate in the winds of victory that create you. |

FIRST is NOT just about robotics. It is about the growth of leaders - of Gracious Professionals... |

After all, when any student is isolated because of a difference - because of race, gender, social beliefs, or ideological concepts - we all lose. |

When FIRST teams are as numerous and as well supported as basketball teams, we will know that our culture is preparing young people to compete in the 21 st century and we are spending our 2 million minutes wisely. |

With computers, every once in a while you see something that makes you think "I could have done this, why didn't I think of it? It would have made my life so much easier." Now is one of those times. |

In theory, we do not need teachers in this world because we have the written word, but in reality, teachers are one of the most valuable resources, if not the most valuable resource, we have. |

Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR).
BQR-5: The platonic ideal of FRC bumpers.
...
BQR-0: Moderate to heavy use of duct tape.
I believe BQR would outperform OPR as a predictor of on-field robot performance. |

After assisting with the animation last year I realized how cool and useful Inventor was and I started flirting with it. Half a year later I think I have lost all possibility of ever having a girlfriend, and frankly I don't care because I would definately bare the child of this program. |

The phrase "Gracious Professionalism" is being thrown around much too often to try to support anything and everything that a certain individual feels is unjust. |
