At this point in build season, I'm thinking that whatever type we can get built and working is the best type, by far! |

It's a game feature, they're helping us, please don't complain too loudly.... |

I hope to be able to say, "WOW, we put a working robot in the crate". |

The function of that part is to keep one student occupied playing with it during the entire build season. It doesn't have to be the same student all the time, they can take turns. |

I haven't invented anything for an hour or two. I need to get back to work. |

Having the ability, opportunity, and inclination to do manual labor makes you a better engineer. |

A couple of times during our matches, our HOSTBOT had a GAME PIECE right there ready to HANG, but the darn PEG dodged out of the way |

Experience...you can't buy it, you might be able to get some for free by reading CD a lot, but usually you have to earn it, and it's not always fun. |

I dont think it matters too much what you do, as long as you do something that lets you apply what you're learning in class. |

I'm really impressed with how much effort we'll go to, to avoid buying a $25 servo tester. |

Don't worry about someone stealing your ideas...if they're good ideas, then imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If they're lousy ideas, we'll let you know, so you can work on finding a better idea. win-win! |

I see all these people complaining about the FIRST game having perverse penalties for playing defense...then we play without defense, and still people complain. |

I put the encrypted manual file onto a 5-1/4" floppy disk, so I'll have it with me when I go to the kickoff event and pick up the kit. |

Flash drive? I was thinking floppy disks...

"Why even bother building a robot if we're not gonna win?". The answer? To learn and grow. |

[on practice robots:] Twice the work and twice the practice building seem to equal twice the experience so far. |

I wouldn't mind having this day repeat itself a few times. It would give us more time to work on our robot. |

Through 30 years of teaching I've heard the same refrain..."I love science, I love math but I can't stand my language classes".
Well enough is enough. Get over it. |

I realize that I've been drawn into the trap of thinking that this is about robots and scores and winning. Reboot. Remember why we do what we do. |

You don't see teams plastering the arena with signs saying "Show your spirit!" or "Be creative in your robot design!" or "Be sure to be innovative in your control!" |

FRC is a game of mentors. The best teams are guided by mentors who know how to balance on the knife edge of pushing the envelope and achieving success. |

I decided I would keep coming and it just kept getting more and more fun. By the time build season started going I couldn't have quit if I wanted to ^_^ |

Capability and willingness are two very different things. Anybody can dance, though you could spend your lifetime unsuccessfully trying to convince them of that. |

At one of the registration days at the beginning of the year I actually made a sign saying: "I'm not smart isn't an excuse". |

FRC competitions are fun, people. If you honestly need a video game system to keep you interested, you're ignoring a tremendous experience. |

A good engineer will never stop learning. From his peers, technicians, and competitors. The field is just to vast for any one person to know it all. |

The mediocre do the minimum, then exclaim how easy it is.
The exceptional never stop to gloat... they're too busy figuring out new ways to make it even better... |

So yeah I love the minibot because it was a great vehicle to promote our team, make new friends, and possibly make sure a team makes it past their 1st or 2nd year. |
