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.;) |

If the refs are not calling something that you think should be called, you have to adjust your play style to deal with it. |

Just remember that you can get just as much inspiration from making a simple system's details work really well as you can from just making a complex system work... |

In my opinion, if it can light a fire in your heart to burn with passion, and you can maintain that fine line between passionate and crazy; then go for it. Power to Passion. |

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't
assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the
endless immensity of the sea.~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery |

This site is truly the best resource out there for FIRST teams, the information that flows on here is just amazing and I don't know what FIRST would be like without it. |

I wanted to make an epoxy/carbon fiber/fiberglass arm for our 'bot, but I was outvoted by conservative teenagers. Oh well...

The mission is to mobilize community, school and corporate resources to support the vision. The method is to provide an interesting, exciting program that gives young people opportunities to explore and expand their capabilities and interests. |

I know what "finished" means, and I know what "robot" means, but what is this "finished robot" of which you speak? |

There are a maximum of 80 balls in play . If all the balls are in the goals or out of play and the human players won't throw them back in, I guess the robots might try line dancing or doing the cha-cha. |

On the contrary, you've had several helpful responses. You might be confusing "helpful" with "do my homework for me." |

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 02:09.
But should we "discriminate" based on how long your team has been around? If you think about it, FIRST's goal is to inspire students, right?
...But students on rookie and second-year teams, if anything, are in greater need of being inspired.
