People were learning left and right. 14-year olds knew what a pitch diameter is... cool stuff.

Keep in mind that words can be harsh and people do not forget what is said against them. Please, for your teammates sake, keep your egos in check and try to use some tact and consideration.

Now, most of the replies are very tactful when they are questioning a teams' design... but some are simply stupid. Keep your heads.

Let's see some love for these fine people. Let's give it up for the refs. |

Reffing a FIRST event is unlike being an ump or a ref at any other event. Where else is a game invented each year and over 1000 teams play this game within 3 months of its birth? |

Looks to me like they have a tasty robot. |

It's cool to see that Shaun White is an active team member (6th person from top left). That guy must be amazing, as he can win a gold medal in snowboarding while also being active on a FIRST Robotics team. |

A well-working FIRST robot can be charismatic. People are attracted to it. Teams rally behind it. Little kids stare with wide eyes. Relatives say to their friends "look at what my niece helped invent". This is an awesome thing.

Chuck Norris can be the human player and throw a Poof ball into the 3 point goal and it counts. |

Judging the Championship CA must be the hardest thing to do in FIRST. I'd rather try to stop an alliance of 1114, 111, and 25 from scoring 3 pointers than to judge the CA between these teams. |

Keep in mind that the lady Amanda has just taken a new job, moved herself to the NorthEast, and has to put up with people like Grady, Needel, the Kelsos, and Boucher. Let's give her some patience and sympathy. |

Lawrence North has air conditioning. If it didn't, more than just balls would be sticky. |

So... the question is this:
Does Grady keep his stuffed animals on his Barbie House for playtime, or in his bed to help him go sleepy-pie at night-night time? |

While we discuss this stuff, let's keep our heads on straight. Open your eyes and look around you. Let's celebrate our common goal while accepting our differences. |

Competition and inspiration go hand in hand. Those who inspire will be pushed to do it again and again by those who see this as a healthy competition. Those who are inspired will compete to be an inspiration to others. You can have your cake (competition) and eat it (inspire) too.

The propagation of the idea of making FIRST into a perfectly fair competition is just silly. |

They can either incorporate the suggestions in this thread, go totally against them, or even make us all write code on banana peels with our fingernails. |

It is one thing to be a great designer, it is another thing to be able to explain what you did, how things work, and why things happen. |

Although it is tempting, try not to toot your own horn in this thread. While you may have an awesome bot, the real compliment should come from other teams. |

Announcers don't keep the score. They are fairly outgoing people, make witty remarks, and wear goofy shirts. We can't take them too seriously. :) |

During the day on Thursday, I had to change costumes a few times, being "Andy the inspector", to "Andy the green power ranger drive coach", to "Andy the President of AndyMark, meeting with companies". I am sure some people in the guys' bathroom were wondering what I was up to. |
