I've got much more out of FIRST ever since I stopped and realized I can gain so much more from trying to improve my current team's situation rather than complain about teams who have more. |

In the end, people can throw all the stories at me they want, but I'm never going to let mere stories convince me physics is wrong. |

So, if you feel your team is at a disadvantage, or the playing field isn't level.... Do something about it. |

In engineering, it's important to use the appropriate tools and not more resources than are required. |

Half your robot could be broken, some drive chains snapped, a drive motor burned out, etc... and your WCD will still be trucking. |

No, but you have access to the most powerful machine tool of all; a telephone. We had zero machining sponsors, now we've probably had over 30 unique shops run parts for us; All we did was ask. |

What really matters is what you got out of the FIRST season, and how you can use it to build on what you know.

The most important deisgn criteria is always performance in any of the parts / systems we design. But we do try to abide by the saying -- if it doesn't look good (right), it probably isn't good (right). |

FIRST is like a big roller coaster, that can only be experianced if one takes a ride which can become a liftime experiance. |

Mentors need to be sure that the team is on track to have a working robot ready. Students can do almost everything, but they need help watching the calender. Even if your ideas turn out bad, if your robot is inspectable and running when you arrive at your first event, anything can happen. |

remember FIRST is just an extracuricular activity in which most of the work is technichan's work...what gets you into college are good grades and a good course load...as my mom always said, "getting good grades gives you the freedom to chose to be whatever you want and go wherever you want" |

I don't think [Amanda] will have any trouble with Needel or the Kelsos but... I can understand Grady and we do have visible evidence of the menace that is Jessica Boucher. (just ask Billfred) - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
