	Seeing a bunch of teams from Indiana and probably Michagin competing at the same time.... If I wanted to see that, I'd just go to the Championship in Atlanta. :yikes:	Barry Bonzack	Andy Baker
	It doesn't matter to me where a FIRST local event is held, I'll be there!	Barry Bonzack	Billfred

	FIRST needs a disclaimer that parts of the field can become flying projectiles under hurricane force winds.	Barry Bonzack	David Guzman
	While at kickoff I asked Woodie if there were any concerns about missed shots at the center goal hitting the operators or the controls. He handed me a ball and told me to throw it at him as hard as I could... How many times does an opportunity like that come up?	Barry Bonzack	Billfred
	With CD down... I wasn't sure what to do with my free time. I almost had a reality check and thought I might go outside.	Barry Bonzack	Billfred
	Honestly I'm looking forward to just seeing all my friends again, that's what FIRST is really about to me.	Barry Bonzack	Jessica Boucher
	May your shirts be full of buttons, yours inspiration be plentiful, and your error messages be few.	Barry Bonzack	Jaine Perotti

	I was considering letting Big Mike bearhug me for the warmth.	Barry Bonzack	Jessica Boucher
	As for the rain... I got to test out my umbrella hat last year. Turns out, it actually works...until the wind blows it off.	Barry Bonzack	Michelle Celio
	If you have a robot you don't need any more, use it for demos, or let a rookie team borrow it to learn wiring, programming, and demo around their school.	Barry Bonzack	Arefin Bari

	One of my management professors taught me this: At all times you are holding a bucket in each hand, one full of water, and one full of gasoline. Management is knowing when to throw which bucket.	Barry Bonzack	Billfred
	If Will uses the word "dope", doesn't wear a larger FIRST logo, takes up half of the St. Louis arena, if there was not enough seating in the pits, if the music was killed during finals, it was all justified tonight.	Barry Bonzack	Koko Ed
	"If two kids from every school who would otherwise have been uninterested in technology watched this special tonight and was inspired to learn more, then the world just changed because of it."	Barry Bonzack	GCentola

	FIRST: there is no second.	BandChick	shyra1353
	I owe a debt, as many FIRSTers do, to the entire organization as a whole. Every team, every student, every person involved has help make FIRST what it is today. This is my Thank You. ~Anonymous	BandChick	Dorienne
	If FIRST isn't your life, then you're doing something wrong!	BandChick	sanddrag
	Frankly, I love CD and everything it stands for. I've made more friends from this forum alone than I ever expected to meet in FIRST. I'd give just about anything to keep this system up, upgraded and going on long into the future. It's not even enough to show my thanks and gratitude.	BandChick	UlTiMaTeP
	To me, being in FIRST is the biggest learning experience anyone can have. I want to give that experience to everyone I can, be it now or thirty years down the line.	BandChick	Dorienne
	It wasn't about the ROBOT, or about whether I was male or female, it was about getting to compete in something that was just SO cool.	BandChick	Cuog
	Dear GDC, You are awesome. From, the Chief Delphi folks.	bam-bam	GCentola
	I think it's great the way people involved in FIRST always try so hard not to argue. It's a good sign that all the talk of Gracious Professionalism is working.	BaldwinNYRookie	AIBob
	1. Build a robot. 2. Don’t let it get destroyed.	B-Bot	Hallry
	Upon entering FIRST you immediately apply Murphy's Laws.	A_Reed	BlondeNerd
	To me, as a student, it doesn't really matter how old the RoboCoach is. My only concern is that they don't get ape-crazy when the game starts.	AZNkommander	LightWaves1636
	GP is a much longer-term investment, yet offers surprisingly high returns. Just like 401(k) plans, the important thing is to keep making contributions even when it seems there's no reward for it.	ayeckley	Jared Russell
	Free time? You mean the time it takes the code to build?	axiomofdarkness	jajabinx124
	I, being a Trekky myself, will really enjoy a Star Trek themed game if it turns out to be that. I will not enjoy programming the alcubierre warp drive. :D	AveryLevin.	ctt956
	Amazing what you can find with a quick video and the unlimited power of the internet!	AveryLevin.	ctt956
	You'll want to start with P, add some D to help prevent overshoot, and then add some I to help it get to the correct height if it isn't there from the P and D.	AustinSchuh	demosthenes2k8
	Polycord. It was used in all sorts of ball systems in 2009, and on some of the 2007 claws. It's not too hard to fuse together by hand with some heat and patience.	AustinSchuh
	254 bends CIM shafts every now and then in the drivetrain. I didn't believe it was possible until I saw it myself.	AustinSchuh	Richard Wallace
	It is hard to write code that conforms to a standard that isn't published...	AustinSchuh	frcguy
	That's for us to know, and you to lose sleep over finding out!	Austin
	I guess I'm a bit of an apple fanatic.	Austin	Andy Baker
