FIRST, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot drill, Courage to drill the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. |

Of course our robot can fly! |

Maybe my brain fog factor has expanded after wading through 1114's competition data sheet, so I cannot see the forest for the trees. |

Invest our time in enhancing the process of conceiving, designing, testing and deploying the game |

I'd say go out and kick their collective boo-tays...in a non-damaging, graciously professional manner, of course. (wink wink)

In racing, speed is measured in cubic dollars. In FIRST, success is measured in cubic skill. |

Eventually, the "less effective" tweaks will settle to the bottom, and the more effective ones will be assimilated by the group. Then someone will tweak the tweak. That's when the fun begins. |

And, by the way, we're all weird. It's just a matter of how well you hide or show it. :D |

Even then, the robotics competiton is only part of FIRST. |

And Dave...should I borrow someone's hair dryer from here in case the NASA truck needs some de-icing again this year? |

Look around. What else could cause folks to go sleepless for six straight weeks? That's life-changing, isn't it? :D |

And remember, it's the fall semester. So FIRST isn't an excuse for a failing grade (not that it's ever an excuse)! |

I like drifting, but I have to go WRC. Putting a car where it doesn't belong feels right, like combining together drill motors and power window motors and putting them on a big patch of carpet.

Remember, if FIRST is your top priority, you need to look at your priorities. |

Inventing rocks. I think we've all learned that through FIRST. |

Surely any group of rational human beings (which FIRST seems to attract) can work this out.

It's been said before--sports are fine and good, as long as you've got your priorities in the right order for you. |

And Dave, although I know you have connections, please don't slow the earth's rotation to get more time on the caption contest. ;) |

By the way, a piece of advice to all those who haven't gone to Manchester for Kickoff before: Go. It's something you have to do at least once in your time in FIRST. |

But please, don't attempt to subvert the rules. It almost invariably becomes more trouble than it's worth. |

Legend has it that Brandon installs the server in a bulletproof case shortly before Kickoff. That way, when the server explodes, the damage to surrounding things is minimal. |

I haven't been negative about any FIRST game yet, but scaling and cleaning fish in 2009 that were used in 2008 is going to stink. Literally. :P

It goes back to what Dave said last year--you can be legal and graciously professional, but still dumb. Play smart. |

If winners never quit, and quitters never win, does it make sense to quit while you're ahead? |

Obligatory warning: School comes first. If you have to choose between doing homework and going to a build season meeting, do the homework. |

What's so bad about Matt? I mean, if the guy can explain PID so that even I can understand it, he can't be all that bad... |

What should the lesson of FIRST be? Work within your resources to build the most effective machine that you can--and, at the same time, work to increase those resources. |

In FIRST, there's no such thing as too many 1/4-20 bolts, too many bottles of caffeinated beverage, and too much knowledge from others. |

Now really, who would want to try and go against Andy Baker? That's like trying to single-handedly outscore 25, 254, and your choice of triplet with a shopping cart. |

Of course, every team in FTC should be asking the magic question: "What would Simbotics do?" |
