	No one said that this would be easy. And if they did, they were obviously refering to a little red button from Staples and not to FIRST.	artdutra04	Billfred
	Do not treat Vex and FLL as inferior because they may not get as much exposure as FRC on these boards. Just remember, FLL has seven times more teams than FRC from twenty additional countries.	artdutra04	Ian Curtis
	Why is it whenever you tell someone there is a million billion stars in the universe they believe you, but if you tell someone that the bench over yonder has wet paint, or if usfirst.org comes up as the 1st result in Google people have to try it for themselves?	artdutra04	Joe J.
	Coming up next on Pimp My Ride.....Yo man, here is the real deal. A two-oh-oh-six Segway I-one-eighty, with stock rims, stock fenders, and two 3 horse motors that red-line at twelve point five miles per hour. Get ready, because I'm going pimp this ride!	artdutra04	Rohith Surampudi
	Part of being an effective leader is knowing your own personal limits.	artdutra04	KathieK
	Uncle Sam wants you to watch NERD Vision.	artdutra04	Jessica Boucher
	A lot of people forget this when posting, but your posts here on ChiefDelphi will more or less be here forever. Do you really want that post you just be made to be on the Internet forever?... Post wisely...	artdutra04	Karthik
	When everyone is exactly even, who do you look up to for ideas and inspiration?	artdutra04	Andy Baker
	Instead of lowering a team's expectations, let's raise the amount of competitive resources available to them. ;)	artdutra04	Andy Baker
	Yellow bananas are the new red herrings.	artdutra04	dlavery
	Someone should make FIRST fortune cookies, because I think I just thought of a good one.	artdutra04	StephLee
	Act humble, avoid hubris, and post widely and thou shalt receivith postive rep. ;)	artdutra04	dlavery
	Scoring ringers is going to be like dating. While a select few will master it with relative ease, the vast majority will need quite a bit of time to refine their skills to an acceptable level.	artdutra04	Jeff Rodriguez
	I've been inspired for real engineering during the build season and on the playing field, but the inspiration I found in the pits is often for creative thinking and intuition.	artdutra04	jgannon
	The final product, the inspiration, it all that matters. Awards and championships are just bling.	artdutra04	Billfred
	Finally, a Team Update that we can all agree to!	artdutra04	KathieK
	Never mind the imperial British Empire, the sun never sets on our FIRST season!	artdutra04	BandChick
	One transmission to rule them all, one transmission to bind them... :p	artdutra04	Tottanka
	The losing alliance should know they lost, admit it, and use the desire to win to push themselves even further.	artdutra04	Karthik
	Drive yourself, ride Amtrak or Greyhound bus, or bend space-time to the point of singularity and you'll just poof into existence in Atlanta.	artdutra04	Qbranch
	I will follow FIRST's guidelines, as long as they conform with those of the English language.	artdutra04	joshsmithers
	If there are no top tier teams, then who do we look up to for inspiration?	artdutra04	Amanda Morrison
	"Well-resourced" teams with "deep pockets" don't just spring up, they are usually the result of a lot of hard work.	artdutra04	Amanda Morrison
	Only on CD would people debate calculus problems involving time and team numbers...	artdutra04	Michelle Celio
	All tools are powered by magic angry noise.	artdutra04	JYang
	Because the new control system weights as much as a fully-loaded M1 Abrams Tank.	artdutra04	FIRST Rocks
	It's hilarious to watch this conversation about a box which probably has a 95% chance of being robot batteries turn into all kinds of bowling ball conspiracies.	artdutra04	Anna B.
	They just kind of sit there chilling, like "Hey I'm a trailer, where's my robot?"	artdutra04	Kimmeh
	Adding an ounce or two of shields is way easier than filling out the mountains of paperwork for that one impatient person to stick their arm into the robot reaching for who knows what only to have their fingers meet up close and personal with a gearbox.	artdutra04	Billfred
	Smokey the Fisher Price motor says only YOU can prevent rule infractions.	artdutra04	Billfred
	There is beauty in pure simplicity.	artdutra04	MrForbes
	When all you're holding is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.	artdutra04	dbs12693x
	There's a stark difference between bragging and taking pride in your work. While "Ha ha! We're better than you! We won seventeen regionals and you didn't!" would clearly fall in the former, listing your achievements would definitely fall in the latter.	artdutra04	Billfred
	If people are getting offended at seeing other teams list their accomplishments, maybe they should spend less time whining and more time doing things to make their own team win.	artdutra04	Andrew Schreiber

	The proper way to advance forward is by bringing the bottom up, not by limiting how high the top can fly.	artdutra04	Vikesrock
	A robot that does 60% of the tasks 100% of the time is better than a robot that does 100% of the tasks 60% of the time.	artdutra04	Jessica Boucher
	But altering register values via bitwise operations in nested ternary commands is so much fun!	artdutra04	demosthenes2k8
	stop whining about something that can be solved by working harder.	artdutra04	dlavery
	Honestly, just when I thought FIRST had finally created an FRC game without any near universally-hated rules, they went ahead and made one in TM 1.	artdutra04	Molten
	At this rate, Team Update #2 should just eliminate the Minibots and replace it with the drive team captains playing rock-paper-scissors to determine the bonus points.	artdutra04	Alex Cormier
	Stop whining about something that can be fixed by working harder.	artdutra04	Billfred
	Besides, if you look back on anything you've already made and can't find any flaws that can be improved, you're doing it wrong.	artdutra04	Aren_Hill
	TL, DR: You may be skilled at karate on your own, but imagine how much better you'll be with Mr. Miyagi mentoring you.	artdutra04	connor.worley
