I would like to extend my deepest, most sincere thanks to the GDC, for bringing alliances to us in 1999. |

To the people in purple - I am so proud of what you have accomplished as individuals and as a team! |

You are joining the greatest family in the world, FIRST, because we all strive to practice GP. |

Finally, I would like to thank my wife (I hope she remembers me.) To all the FIRST widows out there, THANK YOU! |

I guess what I am trying to say is that GP is inside all of us just waiting for a chance to escape. I am sure how the virus spread. I put the blame solely on the shoulders of Chief Delphi. |

When I encounter Dave at competitions and meetings, I find him to be kind, helpful, almost too nice. When I read his hints, I find him to be EVIL! |

This just goes to prove there was life before FIRST (but it wasn't as much fun!) |

This forum is a really great tool to get people connected to the rest of FIRST communities, as well as a great place to learn from other people and share a little part of yourself. |

FIRST cannot enforce Gracious Professionalism on the participants in this program, you will have to do it on your own. |

I've always believed that being who I was will not limit me to who I will be. That's what keeps me trying to learn more and become a better person. Otherwise I would've settled being someone ordinary and not care about anything around my life. |

I want an inflatable playing field so 2 people can setup the competition in one hour at every event. I want it to fit in the back of my car.

When you boil it down, the name “FIRST-a-holic” represents our passion for changing the world, our energy for difficult challenges, and our bravery in facing unknowns. |

Quitting FIRST was so hard that I felt like I needed a 12 steps program to help me through it. |

Don’t choose your hero because they will just teach you with their abilities, but also because they will also teach you with their mistakes. |

Don’t choose to aim for the stars because they mark the peak of our abilities, don’t choose to aim for the stars because it is easy, choose to aim for the stars because it shows the depth of our potential; choose to aim for the stars because it is hard! |

That's is why I raised this question, becuase I do not know all the facts (I doubt anyone does). |

This is a solemn reminder of how fast time goes by with the blink of an eye, that if you don't run to catch up with it, it will catch up with you and sweep you away. |

If you never reach out and experiment with different things, you will never have the courage to reach out again. It's only through experiments and experiences where we get to understand ourselves better. |

If I can make one wish, it would be having Dean and Woodie read one of these writings of mine, so I can tell them "I get it! Give me time and give me inspiration, and one day I will be ready to take over the torch." |

Robotics is about people. It always was, it always will be. What more guidelines do we need? |

Leadership is demonstrated by initiative, examples, and spirit. Decisions are made by those who show up. The world is whatever you make of it. |

While grandmothers are pretty cool, I would be hesitant in letting them determine what is and is not a robot. |

I think the winning robot will be the same as every other year, a robot that is excellent at ONE thing. |

This easy world of friends, of people that you can talk to for hours on end without knowing one another? That's FIRST. |

Robotics. Seems to be the answer to a lot of things I don't do. |

I love first because of the late nights, the unparralleled stress, the excitement, the emotion. Because of the close defeats, the close victories. Because of the pride, the sense of accomplishment, the feeling of embettering the world. But most of all, because of you, the other teams. |

P.S. - Don't eat spicy food before a match, or a marathon of matches like eliminations. It never ends well. Trust me. |
