Robot shoots forward across field and jams itself into opposing alliance bridge. It was, however, the fastest our robot ever went. |

Success is inspiring high schoolers to get real world experiance through internships with their sponsors. |

I feel that I learned more last year than any previous year because of the challenges we faced. |

Remember FIRST is "For Inspiration" of all students. It is a little tough to inspire students you won't allow in. |

you don't need a fancy workshop to build a good robot, just determined people. |

And when the President of the United States is playing with LEGOs and getting down on the floor to look inside of robots, then I would have to say "Mission Accomplished". |

Truly listening to the wealth of advice around you is so important. Don't work in a vacuum all season long. |

Our strong support is the result of 14 years of very organized "nagging". :) |

In 2012, we built our best machine ever. Some visitors to our pit were visibly disappointed to find that our machine was a pile of extruded aluminum and urethane belting, just cleverly arranged and programmed. |

Reach out to successful teams and ask them for help, rather than complain about them. I have never seen a successful team deny help to anyone. |

Every team in FIRST can make this choice. Be positive, help others, and work like a maniac behind the scenes. This approach will bring you joy and satisfaction, whether you win or not. |

Having the foolish belief that you can win a match in which you are completely outgunned will drive you to develop a winning strategy. |

So, we should have respect for each other regardless of whether we are building our robot with a Waterjet or a Hacksaw. Construction methods will vary widely, but honoring your competitors should be universal. |

Calculate everything. You won't need to make speed holes if you figure it all out beforehand and get it taken care of. |

In real life (IE when you go to apply your engineering skills to tasks in industry) there will be constraints on all sorts of things - many of which may or may not be "fair" or even "intelligent". You must learn to either work around them or use them to your advantage - preferably a bit of both. |

This is far more then any little school extracurricular, this is a FIRST Robotics Team. |

Success to me is a feeling that is associated with achieving something you truly worked hard for; something that you can look at and say "That's my best work." |

Robotics is really preparing us for jobs at NASA. Look. We're past deadline, overweight, overbudget, and our project doesn't even work! |

However, because they're programmers they just redid the interpolation tables for our motors as opposed to actually fixing the bent shooter. |

Now why did it take 24 pages for someone to think of that?? It's so obvious it's painful. |

It's the corollary that you pick them no matter what shape they start the event in. Pink is known for showing up at their 1st regional with the robot in an unfinished state. And somehow, magically by the end of qualifications it just works, and they win. |

For what it's worth, while they may or may not be legal as safety glasses, Steampunk goggles are perfectly legal as forehead protectors. |
