(Funding will be plentiful...) Where is this magical land? We can move our team there! |

While in the Navy, we had an apparent leak in one of our systems and it took me 7 months to track it down. Just because you haven't found it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. |

We are in the business of teaching our students. One of those things should be respect for the rules... |

Please look around the forum, I believe this clue is already under discussion and has been overly dissected. |

Honestly, I'd volunteer my team to be on that alliance. It'd be an honor to touch bumpers with those bots. |

Haha, I applaud your efforts to read into the actions of the GDC, but I feel like trying to do so is like shooting at a target, in the dark, at a mile away, with a sawed off shotgun. |

I think we must take seriously the importance of "infecting" the rest of the world with this passion. |

After each match the pit crew gathers up the parts from the field and finds a new and interesting way to assemble them. |

Q: "What does your robot do?" A: "It collects data about the surrounding environment, then discards it and drives into walls" |

I had a few jokes about the illness and germs at some of the competitions, but I don't want to spread them around. |

Many students I have met will insist that nothing is better than FIRST robotics. And most people would agree that a ham sandwich is better than nothing. So does it logically follow that a ham sandwich is better than FIRST robotics? |

We need to all remember we are no better than our fellow man, no matter what job we all hold, what socio-economic status that's involved, or anything. Plain and simple, we're all fellow travelers on this pale blue dot called Earth. |

Learn all about the alternatives, and choose wisely; don't rush the decision--this is too important to your success to make a mistake. |

I don't know how much of a safety factor chain manufacturers build into these ratings. I've got empirical evidence to demonstrate that it's not 5, however. |

If it's the loss of American lives that concerns the nation, why not campaign aggressively against smoking, or improve automobile safety? At least then, the benefits will be tangible, and substantially more significant to the well being of the locals. |

If they need a place where they can get a chance to learn interpersonal skills (like a team), it might just help them to become well-adjusted adults, as opposed to pathologically antisocial engineers (who got good grades). |

Incidentally, this is a good example of why lawyering the FIRST rules is good practice for the real world. By critically analyzing FIRST's errors, you practice for the day when you need to critically analyze legislators' errors (and deliberate trickery). |

It's a bit sad, really, because FIRST has already reached other countries and there are some U.S. states that still are unaware of what FIRST is!! |

I don't think we should only be pointing at those with exceptional bots, but those that we consider a role model team in all aspects, not just in technical design |

The real key to drive team coaching is to tie your jacket around your waist. Got a couple championship rings that way. |

There are times when your team will struggle and there are times when it will achieve great victories. There will be times when unknown and uncontrollable factors will intercede to provide an unexpected outcome for which your team must compensate. |

Karthik was never one to shy away from the spotlight (often to the chagrin of anyone within sight or earshot of him :p ). |

When I first read this comic, I thought "Awww, how cute!". But then, thoughts of Karthik singing J. Lo's "Love Don't Cost a Thing" started running around through my head, and everything changed. |

If this strategy backfires on any alliance that attempts it, they will have no one to blame but themselves. Be smart - know the risks before proceeding. |

I think we need a little more humour injected into topics such as these to diffuse whatever tension has been created by the original discussion threads. |

And I will most definitely never forget watching this bald, brown thin wisp of a human being charging up to us across the sidelines after the semifinals ended waving his hands and shouting "New Strategy!!!!!! New Strategy!!!!!!" as he rallied the troops for our Finals push.

I will never forget Dean's opening lines: "I want you to know that I am here under protest. I believe that everything you are doing here is repugnant and ethically wrong. And now I am going to tell you why..." And for the next 35 minutes, that is exactly what he did. - dlavery [more]
