Enlighten a man who sometimes has difficulty understanding why others stray outside the box, when the box appears to be an optimized and elegant solution. |

The thing about working hard, is you can always work harder. The thing about being great is you can always be greater. |

If you have an opinion on something, it often says more about you than it does that thing. |

To ANY Robowrangler students reading this thread:
If any of you ask me about the game hint, at any time, you will be assigned 4 hours of shop cleaning duty during week 1. No exceptions. |

The animation is just a pretty tool to help outsiders understand the game; the manual is for me, the animation is for my grandmother. |

It is NOT possible to fail within FIRST.
It IS possible to fail within the competition (whatever your criteria for failure may be). |

When it comes to FIRST (you've all heard the cliche) -- we're all winners.
When it comes to the competition: to the engineering design challenge, we're NOT all winners -- some solutions are better than others. |

Striving to build the "best robot" is a fine goal -- don't hate on it. |

We're not disappointed if we don't achieve excellence, so long as we did everything we could in our pursuit of it. |

You don't need to prototype everything, just the stuff you want to work. |

I guess true innovation is when you can actually harness physics to do what you want. Heck -- that sounds suspiciously like engineering. |

Why subject your robot to a potential sensor failure when you can train a monkey (or a student, if monkeys are lacking) to put the tube at the right height every time? |

Also, If I am not mistaken, the name indicates that your robot is female :P They're all female... like cars, ships, and airplanes. |

I love how your suggestion for MCC is one of the most elite robots of the year, and one of the World Champions. I also love that I really can't argue with you. |

So your gearbox failed, and your first course of action was to post about it CD?
This is an interesting failure recovery plan. :) |

A robot is replaced every season by the next robot, but a friend, team member, mentor, and memories will never be replaced. |

Let the team grow, let them fail, let them learn and always be ready to lend a helping hand. I think that's the best way to help rookie teams. |

Winning is important.
Learning is important.
Inspiring students is important.
Teaching Students is important.
Figuring out how to do all of these at the same time, in my opinion, is the meaning of FIRST. |

It is amazing how much a person's participation in FIRST can shape his/her character. |

I think another really awsome thing about FIRST can be summed up by what Dan, the Wildstang operator, said when they won nats: "I built that!" I mean, the feeling of satisfaction you get knowing that something you created can perform such unbelievable tasks is amazing. |

FIRST Isn't just about the robots, it's about Gracious Professionalism, co-opetition, and outreach also. |

KISS does not mean that your goals and capabilities are "simple", it means that the way you achieve them is simple. |

FIRST describes this program as students working "side by side" with professional mentors. We describe our team as working "shoulder to shoulder." Maximum learning happens with maximum interaction between students and mentors, whenever and wherever that may be. |
