The bulk of the hardest fun you'll ever have is opening up that box in early january, and the six week of chaos that that box of parts puts you through. |

You know you're overdosed on FIRST when you see the thread titled "team 228 can and bottle drive" and think "what kind of crazy drivetrain is that?" |

Strive for excellence in everything you do, but also recognize it in others when you see it, rather than try to drag it down. |

Winning, the objective, the thing you can point to and say "See that? We want to do that. What can we do to make our program better, to improve our chances at that?" is what has grown FIRST from 28 teams in a high school gym to where it is today. |

I'm now convinced that the entire 2015 season was an elaborate ploy by FIRST to get teams to stop complaining about bumpers. |

It is crucial to keep experience and keeping collected under pressure as high points that can't be measured in a test. |

For example, you can make a car as safe as possible. It may get the highest safety ratings in it's class, but if you drive it off of a cliff there really isn't much you can do about that. |

Well, we put it in the bag at 11:58 last night. Needless to say we had to pull guys off of it to put it in the bag. I hope we didn't miss somebody and bag him up too. |

I think applying Gracious Professionalism to strictly legal game play trivializes what is a much more important and fundamental FIRST concept. |

The major items of FIRST are still what they always were.....understand the game, build a reliable quality machine to play it, train you drivers to use it to its full potential. If you do these things, you can win with or without any specific machine feature. |

So basically, the advantage of #35 is that it allows you to be sloppier in your design and fabrication. If you pay close attention to these details, you will never have a problem with #25 chain. |

I still believe that if we are legitimately trying to make FRC be recognized as a real sport, then the GDC must treat it like one. |

Focus on solving the problem, not on being deliberately creative. If you effectively solve the problem, creativity is naturally leveraged as part of finding a great solution. |

Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, and cut it with an axe. This is not an exact science. |

There's a balance to it all, when the engineers guide the students, and both cooperate to build a robot. There can be no better way then when both sides are in cooperation - the true spirit of FIRST. |

The great thing about autonomous mode is that it doesn't require any additional effort from anyone else on your team... (You could do that yourself...but I've noticed that people will usually offer to do it for you, rather than let the programmer touch power tools.) |
