Remember, FIRST is merely a means to an end - the end result being that we completely change the world for the better. |

FIRST, in itself, will not make you an engineer. |

...FIRST was created to change that world for the better. To presume that FIRST is simply here for your enjoyment is to demote it to nothing more than an expensive game... |

This is high school robotics for fun and education. Let's try and keep it that way. |

The first was a fish, all silver and spotted.
“An opah?” I asked. “Yes,” my friend nodded.
I knew not what it meant as I sat there and stared,
But I appreciated the thoughts that the posters had shared. |

a robot that is broken shows that it has survived more than a robot that doesn't even have a scratch. |

I think Dave was tired...he kept muttering something about "eviscerating" someone. Heidi seemed to be doing most of the talking. Actually, after talking with 29,000 people, I think she lost her voice. Or maybe Dave "eviscerated" it.... |

I don't mean to sound harsh, but I do not want you to get your hopes up. There are deadlines in FIRST. |

Andy sent me this message last year: "you go, Jenny." I'm still waiting for him to say it's ok to stop. |

The most important piece of advice I can give is have someone assigned to pay attention to the batteries. You cannot imagine how many teams end up saying "I thought you were charging the batteries..." |

I'm a product of the 60's and react accordingly...I have an entire portion of my brain filled with song lyrics from the 60's and 70's which causes me to not have room for important stuff like motors, pneumatics, electrical system and green lights... |

At the Chesapeake Regional, we will be weighing any team that brings in a kitchen sink (or other major appliances) or an extra robot... |

They showed me a new item and said "we don't know how to list this on the inventory." I took one look, started laughing and said "In my world that is called a game piece, aka, a tote." |

You know FIRST is on the level of sports when you can give predictions like sports casters do. :) |

Before joining FIRST, I sure wanted to be SUPERMAN or SPIDER MAN!....but after joining FIRST, I realized that there are other ways I can help people and the world. |

To me, my mentors are the Father figures. They guide me through each and everything (even if its not robot related), and try to make it as fun as possible. |

Work hard. Then work even harder.
Work until there is nothing left to work on, then work more. |

How are you planning to teleport balls? Or your robot? I was pretty sure that the battery couldn't supply the required power draw. |

Every single person on the team, read the manual, cover to cover, NO skimming. Do not give the task of knowing the rules to a few people. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, READ THE MANUAL. |

Yes, it is fun. Its fun to watch the students expand their thinking and look outside the "normal" and watch their thoughts explode! Its also fun to watch the mentor's minds fry trying to out think the students.;) |
