Reach out to successful teams and ask them for help, rather than complain about them. I have never seen a successful team deny help to anyone. |

Every team in FIRST can make this choice. Be positive, help others, and work like a maniac behind the scenes. This approach will bring you joy and satisfaction, whether you win or not. |

Having the foolish belief that you can win a match in which you are completely outgunned will drive you to develop a winning strategy. |

So, we should have respect for each other regardless of whether we are building our robot with a Waterjet or a Hacksaw. Construction methods will vary widely, but honoring your competitors should be universal. |

you don't need a fancy workshop to build a good robot, just determined people. |

Remember FIRST is "For Inspiration" of all students. It is a little tough to inspire students you won't allow in. |

Robot shoots forward across field and jams itself into opposing alliance bridge. It was, however, the fastest our robot ever went. |

Well... as ready as we can be 30+ days before build season... We definitely do not have a robot yet though... :) |

Oh, for the love of cod, can't you see that Dave is messing with us just for the halibut? When the actual clue comes out, I'm sure we'll all be singing a different tuna. |

For those of you that think the kit chassis is too weak... It is tough stuff. Those of you that say it is too weak, just do not know what you are talking about. |

First check for any bind in the transmissions, especially chain. Next, check to see if the motors are O.K. Use code as a last resort. |

In most cases on FIRST robots, we have more material than in we need in some places and less than we need in others. That single phenomenon is the leading cause of robot failures. |

The rules are the rules, but if the rules get so ridiculous some of us may choose not to play anymore and that is the bigger shame.

Now, our team did meet, but there wasn't much inspiring going on. Unless you call pegging me with more darn poof balls exciting. |
