Competition isn't about the resources you don't have, it's making the most out of what you do have. |

FIRST isn't a competition. It's a learning experience. Share the knowledge, and you'll learn more because there's bound to be someone who sees something about your project that even your own team didn't realize it can do. |

Just take a chance. Dream and live. It's not a wild decision, but just ask yourself - if I got my team just a little bit more spending money, where would my team be then? Then, change that dream into a reality. Help your team sustain itself to inspire more kids. |

When you open of CD and you see your very own quote up top, and can't decide if it's a really awesome or "Well...this is awkward..." moment |

And you said it would be an easy game hint... Time to break out the N-Spire and do some number crunching |

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but you don't know why. On our team, theory and practice comes together. Nothing works and nobody knows why. |

IMHO, [the driver's] job is to drive the robot. The coaches job is to monitor everything in a match that isn't your robot. |

I think that this clearly indicates that 2017 will be the year we finally see 3.63 robots per alliance. |

The extra button could also just be a spare, but that's far less interesting than other possibilities, so let's keep speculating. |

2011. Tried swerve. Didn't move for 1.5 regionals. |

Push the envelope a little, but not too much. There's a difference between being on the cutting edge and being on the bleeding edge. |

If your logo is your team number in a font 4" tall in 1/2" stroke, colored/outlined in white, then yes.
Otherwise, no. |

Also, I'm tired of the "FIRST is a simulation of the real world"-- it isn't. If the real world was like FIRST, there wouldn't be any need for this organization. |

I know the code works, I wrote it! It must be a hardware problem.

Build season is the best time of the year. Better than Christmas because the presents are cooler, and better than new years cause you get to stay up later. |

I say we all stop flaming and pointing out what went wrong or what bad calls were made and start pointing out how much fun we all have at the regionals and what FIRST actually has done for us. |

Once you get to college, remember that FRC is not your life anymore (or at least it doesn't have to be). Don't be afraid to try new things, and branch away from the things you swear by in high school |

I always thought a trained bio mechanical monkey wrapped in aluminum foil would be the best robot, but every year my team says "No Pete, go sit down." |

Wait hold the phone. Do you mean its physically possible to not spend time on robotics during the season?!!! Too much.......for brain......to compute!...goes against.....beliefs........aaaaarrrrrrghhhhhh!!!

The highest seeded alliance is always placed in the red zone by the computer. In fact, its a great communist conspiracy to mold the mind of teenagers into equating Reds with winners. |

If an alternate is used, all four teams are equal members of the alliance. (Trophies, trips, bling, book tours, custody of the children etc.) |

Honestly though, having a cave would be one of the greatest places to build a robot. There's already lack of light and lots of floor space! Well, if you have a good cave sponsor, that is. |

To the best engineers, scientists, and thinkers, something that is "hard" isn't something to avoid; it is something that begs for us to prove that we can do it. STEM is built on the very idea of trying something, failing, and trying something different. |

Understand the problem before trying to apply bandaids. You might not even be putting the bandaids in the right spot. |

But no matter how you place, the thing to watch for is the character change in the team members. The trophies are only important for a few hours. The character that is built will last a lifetime. |
