You all have made me think about this in a new way - which I appreciate. |

I think FIRST is a big trap. They lure you in with these cool competitions and shiny robots and along the way they trick you into learning something :) |

I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised. |

now now, there is no such thing as reading the manual too much. I read it every night just before I go to bed. |

Many would say it is both gracious and professional to make sure your robot will not damage another team's robot. |

Is CAD essential to all teams?
No, but neither are power tools. |

By the end of week six, I'm sick of looking at the robot enough that stuffing it in a bag is rather cathartic...:rolleyes: |

But then again, no one's robot ever is fully working to how they want it before the first tournamant. |

The big lesson we learned ... our past does not limit our future, that superior attitude will beat out big budgets. |

Yes, a big part of FIRST is learning from others. But a just as important part of FIRST is learning from discovery. |

I don't understand why it should matter if your robot is 100% student built, 100% engineer built or somewhere in between. As long as you are Inspired (I word again) FIRST is getting its point and primary goal across. |

I feel there really is only one team, and the name of that team is FIRST. |

Successful FIRST team members know they always can improve themselves, not just as a FIRST team, but as people who can offer something of value to society.

It's always nice to have the outside party take a look at your code because one of two things can happen: 1. They write it better. 2. They find your stupid mistake. |

You need to stay on top of your classes or you will be back as a returning freshman on next year's team. |

Fire and smoke are great if you're into Battlebots, but we like to avoid them in FIRST competitions. |

Getting that degree is the reason for going to college. Failing out of school because you mentored isn't really a good reason. |

Part of Gracious Professionalism is the Professional bit. Doesn't matter if you're a volunteer or a staff member, a failure of this level in the real world would result in getting fired. |

I think a 100% student-run team is as good as a school taught by your peers. |

I am really glad that FIRST gives teams the choice to use either students or adults in this role. - dtengineering [more]
