One time I had to write a report on "What is Gracious Professionalism?" I wrote down "Andy Baker" and got an A+. |

I walk through the door, and suddenly the field breaks down. It must be my magnetic personality. |

ask not what your alliance picks can do for you, but what you can do for your alliance picks. |

Mentors: Don't give up folks, your efforts are not in vain. The kids get something out of it whether we get acknowledgment or not. |

Each match is a learning experiance - the only thing you can do is get better. |

Building a robot is one thing - but the fun I have had with my mentors, parents, and other students on team outings is something I cherish. |

We do not pursue awards, we pursue greatness and the awards follow. |

..the way we see it FIRST isn't about winning a robot contest, its about trying your best to complete a really really hard task in a really really short amount of time. |

FIRST is not about a robot competition . . there just happens to be one at every FIRST event. |

you know the FIRST season is never over . . it just pauses a while so you can get some sleep. |

I also would not recommend shipping the gerbils with the robot. |

Robotics season has monopolized my time for the past several weeks so I have not been keeping up with Segway news lately |

Gracious Professionalism at its finest - Competing like CRAZY on the field, then working together like professionals off the field to make these events the best they can be for everyone involved. |

This is just one example of why you MUST NOT make engineering decisions based on assumptions. You should check/measure your parts and make appropriate design adjustments. |

When I had "shop" back in High School they emphazied safety to the fullest extreme. I'm glad they did, I still have a full set of 7 fingers........ |

Honestly, I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be a mentor. The fools don't know what they are missing. |

This has to be the hardest, most complicated game I've ever seen the GDC develop - that's what makes it so much fun! |

The key is to get the WHOLE TEAM to understand that you are designing and building a robot, which is a complete system - not just a collection of mechanical assemblies stuck together. |

Inventions are not built using premade parts. People come up with new ideas, from different angles and with renewed enthusiasm. Playing the game is fun, building and designing is inspirational. |

Really let's not remove the best part of the games and that is the human interaction with the robots. Humans are much more adaptable and interesting when it come to problem solving. |

As long as this is a competition teams will push the limits. Those that succeed are those who can push the envelope and still stay within the lines. |

GP is a much longer-term investment, yet offers surprisingly high returns. Just like 401(k) plans, the important thing is to keep making contributions even when it seems there's no reward for it. - ayeckley [more]
