Start building your robot as soon as possible, but not sooner. |

Every robot needs a locky-thingy. A robot without one might fire when it isn't supposed to, and hit the wrong target; e.g., a referee, FTA, or robot inspector. |

It always surprises me how many teams wait until their robot is being inspected to learn how files should be used. |

You don't have to build a winning robot to build a team, but you won't build a great team unless they are striving to build a winning robot. |

Thank goodness there are people in this world who refuse to let physics and calculus ruin a good story. |

The thought of destroying any robot is just......depressing :( |

There are "Problems", and then there are "Solutions". Understand the Problem, and keep your mind open to alternative solutions. Don't get married to a Solution. |

Like a moth to a flame, true FIRSTers are attracted by the Victor instead of the Banner. |

Yeah.... I'll pay money just for a picture of Andy [Grady] getting jiggy!
(then recommend it for the Caption contest!) ;) |

I’m not decently dressed for this picture.......I have no FIRST shirt, FIRST hat or FIRST pin anywhere on me! |

I am speechless......but I will think of something by the time it becomes an obvious candidate for the photo caption contest. |

Robots aside, how we handle these situations, communicate with one another, resolve differences and potential conflict, and overcome obstacles defines us all as people. Remember the big picture and have fun. |

In all seriousness, here's a thought for everyone: Don't worry about what you can't control. |

Anyone know anything about a missing plastic flamingo from NASA HQ? I should mention before you answer that tampering with federal property, even if it's weird stuff from (Dave's) office, is punishable by painful delivery of ChiefDelphi negative rep points. |

Relax. Have fun. Enjoy the improvements. Build what you want to. |

My only question is, Can your robot place tetras and deliver Krispy Kremes to team mentors in autonomous mode? |

You can't simply bring another 100 teams into FIRST and have them all asking Andy Baker questions. |

I expect you to make mistakes and need help constantly. Just be sure each time you come to me, it's a new mistake and a different kind of help you need. This way I know you're growing. |

A mentor, by definition, provides a nuturing environment and, over time, makes themselves progressively unnecessary. |

There is no feeling greater than being a part of a group that would walk through fire with you. Complete commitment, complete trust, and total respect. |

Don't you have some rovers to redirect or something Dave? |

And we drafted without computers...forget the calculators...we used slide rules...the punchcards piled up so high we needed more office space...and we programmed in three feet of snow...up hill...both ways |

Either this entry is the winner or Andy needs professional help. I can't quite decide which... |

Those poor suckers on the West coast get three hours LESS sleep than we do afterward. Anyone else glad to see that crate go every year, regardless of what's in it? |

We are different, on purpose, for a reason. No one in FIRST should EVER forget that.

Oh man...
20% skinnier, 40% dorkier, ... if that's what turns into one of our best mentors, I REALLY need to find a new hobby. ;) |

- Only think of Gracious Professionalism as a standard to work toward personally.
- Never use it as a gauge to point out someone else’s shortcomings. |

You are all analyzing the words of a 300 pound fuzzy Pooh Bear with a penchant for squeezing other human beings for fun. Saturday is coming fast. Go see a movie. |

In the 2010 game, FRC and FVC robots will be working together to cut Dave's hair, mow his lawn, and serve him dinner. ;) |

As for Dave and the stairs, just ignore him like the rest of the FRC GDC does... ;) |

Spouting off without all of the facts is a bad idea. It's also bad to envoke the gods of "Gracious Professionalism" to judge others. |

Do you think it's important? Is it actually possible for the students to change the lives of the mentors? |
