Yup, looks like FIRST is infiltrating the American sports culture.
And that's the long and the short of it. |

Give a group of engineers the choice of three options, and they'll pick choice number seven. |

Please don't complain about the party that was thrown in your honor because they didn't use your favorite color of balloons. |

The shirts. The buttons. The capes. That feeling you get when you first glimpse the arena and all the empty pits, and the only thing is promise. When the last bit of confetti has fallen, and nobody leaves the field.
We are fortunate. |

With one post, Mr. Miller joins the top 0.7% of Chief Delphi, reputation-wise. I think the community supports him. |

Everybody "cares about the robots" - otherwise we'd be doing science fairs. |

Tragedies happened. We've learned from them, as individuals, as teams, as a community. |

Can't we also care about and celebrate the processes, the professionalism, the experience of healing? |

I've found that being outraged on behalf of others is often a misuse of energy. |

Just because something has never been done, doesn't mean it's impossible. See: everything ever. |

Whether we realize it or not, we've all been touched by the works of Dr. Kamen - through his TED talks, through his research and scores of publications in pediatric oncology, or perhaps more directly through his daughter. What an incredible life, what an incredible legacy. |

The future is a dark and mysterious place, and trying to force our current methods on that are patently absurd. |

I was very concerned about this thread.

FIRST is here to reach the affluent, already college-bound students with boundless resources; it is also here to reach the poverty-stricken urban and rural students who don't see a diploma as worthwhile, and everybody in between. |

Stand scouting allows you to get to know the robot.
Pit scouting allows you to get to know the team. |

Who wouldn't love to see a circular FRC field, on the backs of four elephants, all riding on a gigantic turtle? |

The weight sounds about right, too. If you need more than 65 pounds for your manipulator, then the drivetrain isn't the part you should be redesigning... |

In my opinion, FIRST is better than a sport. |

I also like how the FTC folks are able to get involved with the FRC process this year, but it's always a bit of a let down when you're told you can't launch things into the air. |

Wait, does this mean TV isn't real? I'm shocked and appalled. |

A good way to minimize the possibility of breaking things is to minimize the number of things that can break. |

Naw, basketball isn't nearly as great a sport as FRC. They play for the money. We play for honor, dignity, and respect. |

Oh great, look what you just did. The GDC will probably find ways to use this to torture teams in 2011. I hope you're happy now. |

Certainly more interesting to watch than driving around in circles on a flat field. Sorry, 2008. |
