There is a big difference between "we have not been able to figure out how to do it." and "it's impossible" or "don't even bother." Let's be constructive not discouraging. |

I've worked with space based navigation and lever arms and planes and Kalman filters. .. and I have never, ever once considered looking up to navigate. |

Don't be too arrogant as to think that just because you didn't invent it, it is not useful. |

I have trouble believing that there's really a regional that isn't fun... |

I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels like a blind man in a room full of sharp objects when it comes to programing. |

Wins = Attention
Attention = Sponsors
Sponsors = Money
Money= being able to do more.

We need to start building FIRST competition arenas and leasing them in the off-season to the sports teams and conventions ;) |

FIRST is the best thing that has ever happened to me...FIRST has taught me so much more than anything I learned in the classroom. The thing with my team, is we are so close, we are family, and I have figured out so much about who I am because of FIRST. |

It is not for any other team to say what is beyond a person's or a team's capabilities. That's why they have mentors :-) |

At the end of the day, and this is where many may disagree, it's about what is learnt and not about who wins. |

I (personally) am not involved in FIRST because I want to win (of course, that would still be nice ;) ). |

I in all sincerity thoroughly enjoy the way that programming for FIRST makes me want to bash my head against a wall. |

I saw 2274, a rookie team that had won the regional, gathered around their mentor. He was holding their trophy and saying, "This is what it is all about. Teamwork and cooperation. You guys did great." |

FIRST is a worthwhile program to be involved in as an Adult mentor. But for me, it does bring its share of personal conflict. ..... Cuz' you know when Jan 4/5 comes round' I'll be itchin to go gang busters again. I'll never learn |

What if, each alliance has a pile of AndyMark equipment in front of them. They then have 2:00 minutes to assemble said equipment, and build a working robot that will race to the other side and grab the other alliance's flag. |

I would say that you are not an engineer until you've both obtained the aforementioned peice of paper AND done something with your tumescent engineers forebrain. |

After all, professional engineers know The Right Way To Do It (TM) and if we knew that we'd be deprived of the educational experience of screwing up. |

At a much more pragmatic level, organization is what seperates a team full people with really cool unrealized dreams and a team that is trying to figure out it's alliance picks. |

Dean looks rather debonaire in a tux. Like some sort of engineer super hero. The tuxedo is like his Clark Kent costume under which lies his amazing denim suit, to be whipped out at a moments notice in the face of uninspired youth and problems unconquered. |

Skill in software engineering is all about algorithmic understanding and intuition. Implemenation is an important, but ultimately secondary, concern. Programming languages are more or less arbitrary.

Some clever fellow a few years back made a little scooter based on this principal and made so much on the idea he can afford the finest denim in the land. |

Their robot moves so fast that it changes colour due to the Dopler Effect. By rapidly alternating between driving away from the viewer (Redshift) and driving toward the viewer (Blueshift), they can make the viewer see it in their traditional purple colour. |

The imperfect COTS parts you have in your shop will perform much better on the competition field than the perfect custom parts you only have CAD drawings for. |
