So I guess this is just another case of someone reinventing the leg? |

I can't claim to be an expert in the stess analysis field - I just play one on TV, er CD, er - okay, so call me a poser! |

Now, almost a day later, no one has begun interpreting, dissecting, attaching synonyms, re-interpreting or otherwise mangling Dave's wise words in an effort to find the hidden key to the game. I smell a conspiracy! |

Seriously! I expect to follow what I understand to be the intent of (allow teams more time to work with their control systems) and just look out for anyone trying to bring in greater than half a robot. Or a kitchen sink. |

you know your team has respect from teachers when classes start waving projects during build season saying you get full credit if the robot ships. |

So much energy is wasted complaining (even in this thread) and belittling others (subtly in this thread). You need to engineer an attitude that encourages success through hard work before you engineer the robot. |

Remember that though we come from different backgrounds and x, y, z, we are all on each other's side. We want people to love STEM, and think FIRST is a great tool to fulfill that desire. |

The hardest resource to come by in FRC is the one you can't buy: a well-trained, experienced, well-intentioned, dedicated mentor. |

The championship event is a meta-game of inches. People will complain about unbalanced/unequal divisions, whether you think it's silly or not. |

Big scoop for everyone here:
All divisions are stacked with talented teams. It's like this is a really big event or something. |

We want people to exercise Gracious Professionalism® and play at their best, but also not really because we find this archaic rule to satisfy something related to inspiring students to pursue careers in science and technology.™ |

We were just going to drive our robot into the alliance station wall until the match ended, but now we might be changing up how we approach the teleop period. |

Most of the people who fit the profile of long tenured FIRST mentor are either already on a team or locked up in an institution where they belong... |

[This year's game manual contains] 46 new pages of pictures displaying how to attach bumpers, assuring at least 15% of teams almost get it right this time. |

Minnesota could pioneer the idea of suspending a field 20 feet above the other field and have true double decker events. |

Your primary job is not to build the most technically advanced robot, but build the best possible team. |

This is not an engineering design challenge, this is a project management and common sense challenge with engineering elements. Don't go out of your way to screw yourself. |

You pick the best person for the job whether they are black, white, asian, hispanic, female, or male; NOT so you 'look good' when they publish your team picture in the school paper, but because they can get the job done right, on time, with a passion. |
