(If Dean still says 'Nationals', how can you ridicule a rookie team for it? Come on.) |

FIRST is an amazing combination of principles that, when applied to the world, has had a monstrous effect on the way High School students learn, think, and relate to others. |

Just because there is a limit, doesn't mean that they don't love you. |

Its not really a robotics competition. The robots are merely vehicles used to make society a better place, and to inspire the youth of the world to help one another, and to become more united.

Obviously, really large issues need to be addressed, and if you feel there is a huge problem, by all means, go ahead, if you can be polite, productive, and graciously professional, address it. |

I think we sometimes forget that FIRST is not just about building robots. Its purpose is to educate and inspire young people in the field of science and technology. |

For me Gracious Professionalism is about helping other teams make their ideas work. We do everything we can to help other teams program, or lend them parts from our pit. On the field we play to win. |

All in all, you get what you celebrate. The more we celebrate the under-served parts of our team the more students step up and make that part great. |

If you thought two alliances racing to tip the bridge in auto was exciting, wait until they play autonomous chicken on the center line. :D |

Wait, that's exactly how it's supposed to work, isn't it. Well played GDC, well played. |

Teams whose goal is to play on Einstein think about strategy differently from teams whose goal is to be selected for an alliance at a district event. |

FIRST is not about lowering the bar to those with the smallest expectations, but helping helping all teams exceed the standards set by the best. |

if you want to repay us for the omni-wheels, use the money to help out a few rookie teams next year. Buy them batteries or help build them bumpers, anything you see fit will be much better than cash back to us. |

Right now that dream is sealed behind a few milimeters of plastic for most teams. |

Competing at multiple regionals or Championship events has no bearing on the life lessons you will learn or the unbelievable memories you will have--for that is what FIRST is truly all about. |

We all need to remember to be careful at these competitions. Danger lies in the most unexpected (and comical) places. |

Please understand that teams run things differently for specific and very valid reasons. And, this is OK as long as the students are inspired.

Not only does Dave like to post hints about the the new game...but now he's starting to post hints about the activities of the Mars rover. Does it ever stop?! |

In my opinion, leaders do not need to be picked. They naturally emerge as time goes on and as more opportunities are presented to them. |

These two options can both be used effectively to create a wonderful experience for the students, but limiting them to one area is like taking a globe, slicing it in half, and saying, "You can only explore this half." |

Practice bots are not regulated by FIRST. Your practice bot could have a flamethrower and a jamming device on it, and they wouldn't care in the slightest.
You just can't compete at a competition with it. :) |

What happens when everything becomes fully swagged out? Also, does my robot need to have collar-popping functionality to use every feature? |
