My students want me to confirm if they're only allowed one submission per team? (Apparently they've gotten a sudden wave on linguistic inspiration...) |

I said it was called FIRST Robotics and the coolest thing I'd seen that day was a 150lb robot balance with another one on a teeter-tooter and and then score basketballs from 30 feet away. |

Great things don't just happen to HoF teams; HoF teams make great things happen. |

The great thing about FIRST is that there actually are 3,000 ways to win. Find yours, and leverage it. |

We can help FIRST improve the system, but we can't just blame them and wait. |

You should qualify the same way you eliminate if you ask me. |

Eliminate the scavenger hunt, stop updating the software every two seconds, and make sure your examples and tutorials work. That will help a majority of the people I feel. |

Another lesson is don't post on Chief Delphi disappointed, stop and evaluate first. Emotions suck sometimes. :-) |

[Bring] programmers [to Championships], they may be small, quite and easy to miss while leaving for Atlanta but its hard to do anything robotic without them, I've tried. |

everyone here has a life outside of FIRST (some just don't want to admit it). |

You know you're addicted to FIRST when...You relabled the speedometer in your parents car so that 0 is 127 |

You don't have to beat stronger teams to get better... to get better is to be forced to push the envelope against stronger teams. |

Robotics for me though really is hard to beat. Though tiring and exhausting, the memories you build are priceless. |

Just wondering what types of food you have been living off of while working on your robot? Our team has had pizza almost 3-4 times a week or more. Just wondering.

At least I can appreciate the humor in this LOLCODE; it isn't funny when our our robot goes backwards in hybrid mode |

PS. Never write to a forum when your cat is trying to lie on the keyboard while you type. It made my bad spelling worse. |

We have put our [robot] on a treadmill. It should shed those excessive pounds and be in shape to compete.:) |

I personally think mentors should sit behind two-way mirrors and hold a kill switch for all power tools. ;) |

FIRST is similar to real life in that nothing is perfect and you have to deal with the circumstances as they arise and make the best of it! |

Adding more weight doesn't make the challenge any easier, it just makes the robots heavier. |

Dedication to FIRST gets more challenging as life gets more complicated but the rewards are SOOOOO worth it! |

It is better to err on the side of caution than to put yourself in a position to have a referee or judge make a call against you. Build smart! |

Bottom line - keep your passion for FIRST and don't let others spoil your fun! |

Such is life in the fast-paced, laugh-in-the-face-of-adversity, never-let-them-see-you-sweat, sometimes-you're-the-windshield-sometimes-you're-the-bug world of FIRST Robotics! |
