Use the mentor to lay down the law. They're not there to be your friends they're there to keep the kids focused on the job at hand. |

Chiefdelphi is a great resource for all of FIRST to use over the years and has grown into a community that has taken a life of it's own. |

C'mon you guys you're all inventors. You guys should be making a portable cryogenic sleep chambers for those long bus trips! You got two weeks before you have to go. Get cracking! |

My nephew...loves FIRST. He wants to be an X-Cat but since he lives in Atlanta and that's a heck of a long commute for meetings I told him he probably should strive to be the next best thing: a CircuitRunner. |

We may not build the best robots but we're building better students in the long run and means much much more. |

Think outside the bot.
Find a different regional someplace you never considered before. There's plenty of them. |

in FIRST it's not just about where you finish in the standings but the intangible of inspiration where there is no true or immediate forum of measurement. |

The main use of Chiefdelphi is self expression of what FIRST means to you. |

I get in enough trouble mentoring one team. If I did five teams I'd be less one wife. |

Didn't you know? Kids today are born with GPS tracking systems installed so Mom's can look them up on Google Earth wherever they are and also know what they're doing for a living, eating the right foods and if they're dating the appropriate people. |

The sign applause was definately one of the best moments I had ever witnessed at a FIRST event. Who knew silence could be so loud? |

Geez, now I'm like some all-knowing all-seeing FIRST sage who lives in the moutains waiting for students to venture upwards to my home to ask me if there will ever be a water game....:rolleyes: |

People misuse GP because they see Dean as some sort of whimsical cross between the Nutty Professor and Mister Rogers and think that FIRST is Disney World and we're all going to happily hold hands around the campfire and sing happy songs all day long. |

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can AND WILL be held against you (AND YOUR TEAM) in the court of public opinion.
So choose what you do wisely. |

The one thing that no one ever list in scouting but is one of the most important factors is reliability. I don't care if the robot scores a hundred balls a match if I can't count on you being out there for the next three because it's a fragile as china. |

I still say animation is the illegitimate child of the FIRST family locked away in the attic and never spoken about. |

I always felt people get too caught up in the robot and don't see what really makes the teams function so well is the organization itself. |

Welcome to adulthood.
Remember, patience is your friend. Denial is your shield. Bitter disinterest your salve. Your endless hours of crushing workload will be your strength.
Good luck, soldier. |

Because when you build the people and the team, building the robot comes much easier. |

Because FIRST wants everyone to have a sense of accomplishment even if you didn't accomplish anything during the match. |

Instead of dreading the potential alliance think of ways to impress them so they want you to be part of it! |

Make sure you THOROUGHLY understand the rules of the game before you actually start designing the robot. |

At my age I don't celebrate birthday's anymore. I'd rather hang out with teenagers and build robots and be in complete denial about my aging. |

I'm sure FIRST did the math. They always do the math. Just not math humans use. It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it. |

You shouldn't have to apologize at all for wanting to have fun. This is supposed to be fun. You shouldn't gauge your level of enjoyment at the event based on your place in the standings. |

When Dean says it's not about the robot he really means it. We're gonna get a speech whether we want it or not and of we complain we'll get even more. |

I hope FIRST hurries up and releases the regional schedule soon. I have a vacation schedule to plan. |

To me game hints are like robot teasers. Much ado about nothing and I ignore both. |
