The thrills of a heroic repair, a well deserved award, a compliment on our efforts, the growth of our team members, making new friends.... These can make a memorable and exciting FIRST regional as much as a close match. |

The purpose of the game rules is not to imagine and categorically list everything you should not do, but to give you guidelines of FIRST's intent and leave it to your developing good judgment to know what's acceptable and what is simply skirting the rules. |

Nutritionally speaking I didn't get enough (MOE) green in my FIRST diet this year! |

One of those things I learned in kindergarten - never introduce myself to an “enraged” woman wielding a clipboard. |

I love it when the robot's develop personality quirks. |

Sorry, solenoids don't speak English.
You can talk at them, but they won't answer except maybe to sigh... |

It would be interesting to be able to take robots from multiple years and invent new games they can play together (Calvin Ball). |

It's often not the code you are focused on that causes problems, but the code you dismiss out of hand as "unrelated". |

I have photos of students working the lathe dressed for a concert! Makes me wish for a formal dress night at robotics. |

We use the engines of our imagination on the robot all the time.
FIRST being an engine of change after all. |

There are a lot of great teams that impress me, but four that really stand out... Our team doesn't want to beat these teams, we want to be these teams. |

Recently my wife and I met some mentors from Michigan with their wives at Disney World. It seems that I'm not the only mentor who needs to bribe their wives with vacations before they sign up to mentor FRC for another year... |

Everyone knows the best way to lose weight is to turn the robot upside down, shake vigourously, and throw away anything that falls out. |

EVERYONE on the team is offered the same opportunities to be a team player, it is up to each person to step up and play the game. |

Why climb up to the scaling rungs when you can move the entire field down to your robot's height? |

A few months from now I'll be walking to school and then I'll suddenly be attack by a rogue robot trying to feed me a golden ball or something wont I? |

Taking some parts from an old robot isn't cheap, it's like adding a piece with more experience to the new robot. |

To limit FIRST to robots, tools, and competition is to strip away its immense potential. |

The teams that do the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing, and for believing in the message of FIRST deserve to be recognized. |

Why aren't the kids who sit alongside the sidelines and observe as valued? Why are they looked upon as leeches, in it for a trip? |

FIRST is aimed at those girls on your team. They don't know anything about mechanics, or electricity, or programming, or machining. They have no interest in it, either. They're perfect candidates for FIRST. |

FIRST is an opportunity for me to tackle problems that have long been solved. |
