FIRST showed me how to succeed at one of the most difficult, yet important things: Life. |

Using my Little Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Ring, I have determined that the game hint reads:
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine" |

Remind me again. Why do we let the GDC hold us captive to these hints year after year? |

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.) |

The first law of programming is that there are always ways of doing things quicker and in less space than you already are. |

In any case, don't beat yourself up over it. Only 24 teams get to play in elimination rounds. Sometimes you're in the 24, and sometimes you aren't. |

The Championship is not always about bringing the robot...it's about learning, experiencing, and celebrating FIRST. |

...and then at the end they interviewed this 5 year old on his favorite part (of the fair): "I liked the robot" |

In 2001 instead of staring at the field at the game I turned around and watched the people watch the field. All I could see was a mass of people from all corners of the world, eyes lit up, gears turning in their heads. That, to me, is FIRST in action. |

I hope you realize that by starting this thread you have earned yourself a permanent place at the "WOEWITWISTFT" ("What On Earth Was I Thinking When I Started THAT FIRST Trend?") table. It's members are few, but the conversation is the most honest and amusing in the entire place. ;) |

[A screen shot] is very helpful - I've sent Brandon many of those the various times I've broken ChiefDelphi.com! |

Alright, looks like we've sidetracked into "Off-Topic Land", an area I know I have to visit every so often but I am always happy to leave.

hmm..."give the gift of ChiefDelphi"? "This holiday season, send some Pontiac cheer to someone you love"? "Don't forget to put The Chief under your tree!" The possibilities are endless. |

quite simply, not putting our best foot forward leaves us open to shooting ourselves in the foot. |

What can you do? The more time you waste here speculating the less time you have to work on the robot. Go! Build Robots! Now! |

If you have the time to be caught up on Delphi and the Q&A forum, then you have time to go write a WFA entry. No more excuses. Go! Write! Now! :) |

I am sad that the Patriots lost, and I am happy for both teams that won...but I am even more thrilled that for the next two weeks robot building in the midwest comes to a standstill. ;) |

High heels on a Segway takes quite a bit of adjustment - as I learned the hard way. |

I don't really care that the best on Curie may or may not be better than Newton, since we're going to spend the rest of the offseason discussing it no matter how the decision fell. |

Just be yourself, be honest, and most importantly, be present. The best role models are the ones you can relate to. |

The only constant in FRC is change. Learning to adapt to change in competition is the best way to prepare for change in real life. |

I have learned so much from this program and am forever changed by FIRST and its community. You have made me a better person in so many ways. Thank you. |

We also had a couple of student leaders emerge from this offseason Rumble, which can do nothing but help the team in the upcoming FRC season. |

In real life, I use almost nothing I learned from football except that with a bit of hard work you can get somewhere. Oh, and I have bad knees on top of that. I could have (and wished I would have) learned that from a FIRST FRC team instead. |

It's a good things we're engineers who regularly squeeze out 'miracles' with a severely limited budget, eh? I think that's an important aspect that we as mentors need to show the students from time to time, and this year is a perfect opportunity. |
