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? |

Until we learn to celebrate our differences with great vigor in an earnest way, we won't accomplish what we're supposed to get done. |

The fact the FIRST knows no boundaries, either geographic or cultural, is certainly one of our strongest assets as we move toward a changed culture. |

Does IR work underwater? Or more importantly, through an air-water interface? ... sigh ... |

How is it that so many team representatives have the time to run up the post count to astronomical levels in a game hint thread, while so few seem to have the time to say thank you for a $6K gift that funds the ability to play the game? |

Last I checked the Mars Rovers don't play any defense either and that's pretty cool stuff. |

My father taught me long ago that how we respond to adversity is what defines us as human beings. Let's all keep this definition in mind as we move forward to change a culture. |

Bottom line for us is this... By elevating what ANY team can do, we also push those outstanding teams to go even further. |

There's "FIRST the organization" and then there's "FIRST the vision for the future through a set of ideals". I've grown somewhat skeptical of the former in recent years, but, after 10 years, I'd still throw myself in front of a bus for the latter. |

I've always responded to the cries of, "robot!" with, "person!" I always get startled looks. It's fun. |

Namaste. Maybe we all one day will spend our energy trying to raise our own level to match that of the competition rather than trying to tear others down. |

It’s impossible to know who’s life you will change forever. Don’t miss an opportunity. I’m an optimist. Have a great season. This is the year. |

FIRST is the only sort of competition that I've seen where somebody can win and the opponents can be genuinely happy for them. |

I can tell you for a fact that students don't need smartphones in order to unproductively entertain themselves in a robotics lab. |

I don't even care if it doesn't work as well as they would like. YOU MADE IT. You may never use it, but you made it. AWESOME. Every year there has been 1 team (sometimes 2) that has done something that really stood out. This year 1 team has done 2 things that stand out.
Thanks guys. |

I propose, these forums are not a competition. There is no race to prove a point, to prove you are right, to prove you are wrong. |

More to the point, stop worrying about whether your "Atlanta bot" got screwed over or whatever. Worry about whether you've got an "Atlanta team."

In no way is my team a powerhouse but we're striving to compete among the top competitors and in my opinion that's a start. |

Like a typical sport or game played, students and other teams should want to beat the team on the field and not anywhere else |

FIRST is definitely worth any amount of money any company gives. FIRST really puts on good events for us, and I can see where the money is going. |

How about "The 2007 FIRST Robotics Competition International World Championship Event Of Atlanta Consisting Of Competition, Gracious Professionalism, Robots, And Geeky Fun"? Somehow I doubt it will catch on... |
