	The worst that happens is we try our best and lose. And there's no shame in that.	pfreivald	cziggy343
	So the bar is set insanely high. Probably unachievably high for some of us. But what a shame it would be to lower it.	pfreivald	Taylor
	Ask two different FIRSTers for an opinion, get three different answers!	pfreivald	Molten
	I'm about to brain myself on a wall in frustration!	pfreivald	vigkvagkv2
	The toughest regional that matters is the one you're in!	pfreivald	IndySam
	Given the time Banebots has already cost us, what's a little snow?	pfreivald	548swimmer
	It is impossible to be grumpy about anything when eating biscotti made by one's beautiful wife, drinking tea sweetened by one's own honey, warmed by a wood stove, and with a dog asleep on one's foot. Simply impossible.	pfreivald	Grim Tuesday
	There used to be no withholding allowance!	pfreivald	Jherbie53
	But as with all things: we shall see.	pfreivald	Tetraman
	Health. Family. School. FIRST. Any other order is a mistake.	pfreivald	Billfred
	I don't care if my team wins. I care if they try their hardest to win.	pfreivald	Karthik
	I don't care if my team wins. I care if they try their hardest to win.	pfreivald	Kaushal.K
	Just because you can doesn't mean you should.	pfreivald	RoboDesigners
	... boundless mentory goodness ...	pfreivald	GaryVoshol
	make your robot so it's not a problem and it won't be a problem	pfreivald	Ninja_Bait
	I think that in general people should worry more about what they are doing, and less about what others are doing. That goes for a lot more than FIRST.	pfreivald	Jeff Waegelin
	Such reasonableness will not be tolerated! This is teh interwebz!	pfreivald	EricLeifermann
	We were the "oooh, neat, fire!" robot that year.	pfreivald	Gregor
	I've completely figured [the hint] out: Robots will have to move around, and also displace objects in order to score points. What do I win?	pfreivald	Hallry
	This game is absolutely NOT too difficult, but many teams will make it too difficult by biting off more than they can chew.	pfreivald	IKE
	"The devil" isn't in the details... The devil is having a loud house party with lots of other devils and demons in the details. And laughing, and laughing...	pfreivald	IndySam
	You worry about your team. Let other people worry about their own teams.	pfreivald	Koko Ed
	I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we have to displace objects and/or robots in order to score points.	pfreivald	Sean Raia
	FIRSTers in particular want very strictly delineated guidelines so that they know exactly what parameters under which they're working, except when they don't.	pfreivald	Collin Fultz
	do the math, then use the math to go for total overkill.	pfreivald	Chak
	Build a robot that isn't 119.999999 lbs	Peyton Yeung	Kimmeh
	When your team becomes ubiquitous with the phrase "Always a bridesmaid, never the bride"	Peyton Yeung	Cothron Theiss
	I trust in Martus.	Petey	JohnBoucher
	Aha I just noticed you're from my team. --Petey	Petey	lukevanoort
	p.s. It's 10:20 PM. Santa hasn't come yet, but Dave Lavery and the GDC brought me a headache for Christmas!	Petey	Alex Burman
	Football has been a school institution for over 100 years--we can't expect FIRST to show the same potential in a 10th of that.	Petey	Billfred
	Listen, my team lost in the finals to that alliance, and I've never suffered a more entertaining arse-kicking. Case closed.	Petey	whytheheckme
	Mastering simple skills can be a complex challenge.	Petey	Kyle
	Sometimes students ask me if MIT wants students who are well-rounded. I usually say I don't care as much if you're well-rounded or pointy, what I care about is evaluating the space enclosed by the shape.	Petey	Whippet
	So does this mean we can use the FP as bumpers? :D	Peter Matteson	CmptrGk
	Does this mean it's too late to ask for a flux capacitor?	Peter Matteson	Alex Burman
	Tom didn't need the t-shirt to tell us [that he is a NERD] :D	Peter Matteson	Jessica Boucher
	Students can learn to drive on whatever they give us. Ramps, carpet, grating, HDPE, lexan, diamond plate, regolith, other robots the driver station wall, referees, stairs, Dean, the bar, goals, the scorer's table, you name it, I've watched robots somehow manage to drive on it	Peter Matteson	Karibou
	The theory is we'd lose a paper list but we haven't lost a student yet.	Peter Matteson	Karibou
	You do use CAD to prototype, Cardboard Aided Design.	Peter Matteson	nathan_hui
	Don't trust everything you read on Chief Delphi.	Peter Matteson	DeformedFedora
	Think Tolerant.	petek	dlavery
	If people really want to see "better" refereeing, they should see what they can do to help FIRST make better.	petek	Jay Trzaskos
	It's rather simple: you start with a block of solid and remove material until you just have the robot left. Kind of like making a sandcastle. Only harder.	petek	dlavery
	I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead.	petek	Jessica Boucher
	Better is the enemy of good enough.	petek	RogerR
	Gotta love those free-range robots! Yum!	petek	StephLee
	If you are playing foozball and your ball bounces back out of the goal, do you expect the table's manufacturer to fix it? No - you groan and keep playing! Nothing's different here. Like Dave said, it's part of the challenge of playing the game.	petek	Billfred
	For me, FIRST is inspiration with a positive feedback loop - it just keeps getting better. I wonder where it will go from here...	petek	Billfred
	I have postulated a theory that it is due to a resonance between gravity waves and the color purple.	petek	Rohith Surampudi
