If a kid was in FIRST and no one was around to see it, do they still get inspired? |

I'm sure someone somewhere worked [I]really hard[/I] on this and I congratulate them for the attempt. Unfortunately, its one of those things that should be taken down and recorded in the company journal as a bad idea. |

FIRST encourages us to innovate and try new things, lets do the same for them. |

Is it really that bad to ask a team to be able to do more than just drive? It's like asking a student to do more than just show up to class... |

While searching is not as glamorous, I'm certain you could find a lot of good resources related to this topic. |

Because of the silly "What's the best 254 team" thread I recently found there is an Electric Sheep! 2546. TBA also says 2505 is The Electric Sheep But which team is the one androids dream of? |

When I saw the title of this thread ("Reverse Robotics"), I thought "what, you get six weeks to take apart a robot or something??" |

If you don't have a hairtie, use a ziptie instead. It works, it's cute, and way geeky. :p

There's lots of other "stuff" that make a team work well in the FIRST environment, beyond designing and building a robot. |

Mentors can't get tired, it says so in the manual. SENIOR mentors, therefore, must have a different manual! |

Maybe it's the guy who doesn't stop drawing in his notebook in class, or the girl who writes the best essays in English. What team can't use their skills? |

I learned that I don't have a clone, there are only 24 hours in a day, and I can't do everything I want to do (even though I tried) and I learned that I have to say "no" once in a while. |

In fact, one of our volunteers just found out about the entire FIRST program two weeks ago and had so much fun on Thursday that he came back on Friday to help us again! |

There can never be enough recognition of a job well done. We can never say enough Thank You's. We can never measure the impact that an inspirational teacher or mentor can make on a student because it's priceless. |

OK, I may have heavily influenced their decision, but I would never kill a mentor for not choosing an event I was planning... maim maybe, but never kill! :D |

everyone in FIRST has to do the cha cha slide at least once per season to get it out of their system. Now I can go back to doing it in the privacy of my own car (if you see a red Jeep in CT swerving back and forth don't worry, it's just me doing the slide...)! |

The amount of sense this rule makes is irrelevant. It is still the rule, and breaking this rule violates something that i'm sure all of you have heard of. Does gracious professionalism ring a bell?

Canadian teams would definitely be able to give some of the "big boys" a run for their money. Despite the fact that their money is worth more than ours... =) |

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 13:42.
Developing new "classes" of super-competition would totally defeat the concepts of info-sharing, partnerships, alliances, etc and create an elitist society within FIRST.
