	My experience in FIRST has taught me that, whatever you do, make sure that no single failure can eliminate half your drive system.[...] The worst feeling in the world is having your robot driving around in circles when there is critical business to be done on the playing field.	Andrew	George1902
	If you're sore over the vigorous defense teams play, get over it. It happens and will continue to, as the majority of people hope.	AmyPrib	Karthik
	Welcome to FIRST! It's in your blood now...	AmyPrib	Bharat Nain
	If you're a spectator that's going to complain about a "bad" call, you darn well better know for a FACT that the call was "bad".	AmyPrib	Billfred
	If everyone spent half as much time reading and understanding the rules as they do complaining, arguing, and disagreeing about rules, we might not even be having this discussion.	AmyPrib	Jay Trzaskos
	Anyway, everyone, PLEASE READ THE MANUAL VERY CAREFULLY and ask around for the answers before going directly to FIRST. :)	AmyPrib	Ian Curtis
	First is more than a competition it is a family.	amos229	anna~marie
	quick grab the epoxy we can rebuild him, make him stronger than before	amos229	Elgin Clock
	This could be interesting...rednecks of FIRST unite for duct tape	amos229	Koko Ed
	You can't stop trying to look for other ways to do things, or that really defeats the whole purpose of inovation.	AmoryG	EricH
	Are people allowed to go to the roboprom, or just our robots?	AmoryG	dag0620
	In the end, we were successful, but the tale is one of such stupidity that it should be engraved in drool upon a failed math test.	AmLameBro	Richard Wallace
	"It's not a weapon, it's an active bumper system."	Ameya
	Those kids are different! They seem more mature, respectful, and intelligent than most adults. They can actually think instead of just spitting out facts. They are obviously getting a real education.	Amber H.
	you know you have overdosed to first when while you are reading all of these things, you can smile and say "oh yeah, i miss doing that" and then, you start to tear up and scream "I MISS FIRST!!!"	amanda547	MichelB
	FIRST is kind of like charity work... you are, even if only in some small way, helping our future just a little bit, and you get a great feeling from it. Even if you are just ringing a bell (or clapping MOE sticks together), you're helping.	Amanda Morrison
	Don't ever give up on your robot, especially this early in the season. That robot is what you make of it. If you give it your all, something good is bound to come your way.	Amanda Morrison
	Something has gone awry this year in FIRST. I think more teams are concerned with winning and their robot that they don't even stop to think about the kids on their team, or the learning experiences of others.	Amanda Morrison
	Being a mentor only requires an open mind and fifty thousand times more responsibility.	Amanda Morrison
	we've got three years to perfect it. And then... who knows?	Amanda Morrison
	FIRST has always been less than just a school activity for me and more of a way of everyday life.	Amanda Morrison
	FIRST is unlike every other organization or every other robot competition because it begs to you collaborate; it encourages you to be a better person through the help of others.	Amanda Morrison
	The fact of the matter comes down to this: No matter what you are interested in, you can always encourage others.	Amanda Morrison
	When's the last time you called up FIRST headquarters just to say thanks? Or saw a volunteer at a regional and said, 'Hey, you're doing a really great job here. Thank you for everything you're doing in your spare time.'	Amanda Morrison
	And the only person who could really save my butt, Brandon Martus... is sitting across the table from me. Laughing.	Amanda Morrison
	We like playing with power tools, stripping wire, or just stripping for alliance partners...	Amanda Morrison
	You know this crazy ChiefDelphi... nothing but useless information and kids ranting about pizza.	Amanda Morrison	Jessica Boucher
	As much as you may want the ChiefDelphi community to see your argument, we may not want to see yours.	Amanda Morrison	Joe Ross
	I've learned that the measure of success isn't the money you make, the education you get, or the car you drive. Your success can only be measured in the amount of people in whose lives you've made a difference and the size of your heart.	Amanda Morrison	Brandon Martus
	We honor those who are unsung - those without a trophy or a plaque to show their efforts. Those who may or may not get those things... but will still be on the sidelines, helping to guide FIRST in all the right directions.	Amanda Morrison	Astronouth7303
	The only competition we have here, folks, is the one that's in March and April.	Amanda Morrison	Jeff Waegelin
	I NEVER doubt the insanity of pig farmers.	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	By being on your team, you are just that - on a team of people. Every person represents a team... You do, too.	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	No disclaimer on earth lets you disassociate yourself with your team or what you represent because you want to say something not particularly nice, but lets you be associated again when you want to say something to encourage others, etc.	Amanda Morrison	Mike Schroeder
	The MAINTENANCE of teams is just as important as the growth. Starting a new team is not always the answer.	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	I love you ChiefDelphi times!	Amanda Morrison	Arefin Bari
	Paul Copioli - A guy who is 13 years older than me, but acts about 13 years younger.	Amanda Morrison	JVN
	Cheaters never win, winners never cheat. :)	Amanda Morrison	David Kelly
	Bring 'em on, kiddies. You underestimate the power of Amanda Morrison.	Amanda Morrison	David Kelly
	I am a big fan of community building exercises. And harassing my friends.	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	Fans come and go... but if you're a diehard, you stick around during the losing seasons, too.	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	Don't let the teams here be so much of an intimidation to you, but instead, an inspiration. They all had to start from the beginning, too.	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	Let's leave the football uniforms at home though, teams. ... The last thing I want to see is Baker in Brett Favre yellow spandex... shudder	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	dang. I wish my legs were as good as Dave's.	Amanda Morrison	Andy Baker
	Well, John V-Neun still has a little bit of hair. Maybe it'll be an astroturf field?	Amanda Morrison	Billfred
	Dean may have asked that every high school in America be involved with FIRST, but he never said [teams] all had to have separate high schools.	Amanda Morrison	Dan-o
	If there is anything I have learned from ChiefDelphi, it's to never underestimate the coding genius that is Brandon Martus.	Amanda Morrison	Matt Krass
