I hate that every year people turn this competition into whining rather than winning. |

There are times when we talk as friends and joke around about things like this, but then the most important times are when he says "I'm telling you this as a mentor," no matter what it is, those moments mean a lot. |

Its a good idea to learn to tame CAD monkeys. They're very useful. |

They're so cute I could just pinch their little CIM motors!:D :p |

Soon, some of those teams will learn to rise about current and former powerhouses. |

I'm so conflicted right now. On one hand, you made the same page as a celebrity. On the other hand.... Justin Bieber. |

CAD pictures are cool, but hardware in hand is cooler. :) |

...regardless of anything that happens, there should be no booing at competitions, only cheers. True, many of us want to win, but in the end, all of us are working to expand FIRST and to promote the inspiration and recognition of science and technology through gracious professionalism. |

I personally think any student should be allowed to participate, as long as he/she is helpful and active. FIRST, to me, is about inspiration, not elitism. |

FIRST is inspiration. No matter how you do it, you learn something. Stop being silly. Stop making accusations. Go build robots. Now. |

From what I've been told, it's BASIC. Just BASIC. Basic BASIC. Basically BASIC. To be basic, it's BASIC. |

Thank you FIRST -- thank you, thank you, thank you -- I can't say that enough. We can't say that enough.... Its too bad that more of us don't try. |

You can expect to see the the same old same old again this weekend! Another set of fantastic experiences for thousands of kids across the country. And once again, Mission Accomplished. |

[on the 2007 field control software] its crazy -- not only did they sound like the same old sound effects we know and love, but it seemed like they actually occured at the time they were supposed to! :) |

Silly FIRST mentor -- actually spending brain power caring about a sporting event occuring during build season! |

Slight physical blocks will never stop a good programmer, we can just program around it. |

It's all about bragging rights, awards, and pushing the envelope, not necessarily winning or practicality. |

Given how easily these things pop, is "Blow Out Pricing" really the best choice of words? |

It doesn't matter what goes wrong as long as you have fun. We all thought this was one of our best trips, even though we were second to last in our divison. |

at what point does gracious professionalism turn into cut throat competition? |

In the end the important thing is that the rookie members who make up the majority of our team were inspired and will try much harder next year. :) |

The object of the team is not to design, build and compete a robot, it is to design, build and compete students. If after four years we have opened a student's eyes to the infinite possibilities they have in their life, it is worth all the effort. |

I learned about how FIRST really is about so much more than a robot competition, it is about team building and the individual. |

If anything, I believe Battle Bots is in the best interest of FIRST. Battlebots helps to create an interest in robotics, and FIRST gives us the opportunity to participate in a robotics program. |

I'm not basing success on winning a regional. Success is learning by building the best system you can. In the engineering industries, the best system is the one chosen. |

If chairs really inspired me that much I would be in woodcrafting club and not robotics - CJ_Elliott [more]
