I am just very happy that I have never been responsible for the spelling of Karthik's last name on a name tag. Seriously. |

I have to wrap my brain about a robotics team named Dudettes. I can get there but ... I need coffee. |

It would be a lot easier if students would quit being so magnificent. Really. |

I'm not of the belief that this is the intent or purpose of Chief Delphi. It is a place for sharing knowledge and information, perspectives, and humor. In the process, it has created community. |

We can't quite define FIRST according to past standards and traditions, because it is shaping the future and does not conform to today's model of sports. |

Last I looked, FIRST wasn't an acronym for inspiration and recognition of robots. It was and is an acronym for inspiration and recognition of science and technology. |

That's one of the saddest stories I've ever heard. When your green isn't neon enough, you are in big trouble in FIRST. |

Then you might have a 1902 (oink oink BOOM) which could result in a 418 (Purple Haze). |

The more women we have as 'rock stars' in FIRST, the more girls we'll see celebrating math and science and the doors they can open. |

By inviting engineers and mentors to be a part of your team and partnering with them...brings added value, depth, strength, expertise, and wisdom to the team and to the overall experience. |

And to think, a lot of students are planning parties and celebrations on their last day of school and you guys are recycling trash. |

I don't fully buy into the 'we're all winners' concept. That is a broad statement that doesn't really say much. How did we become all winners? What did we do to become winners? Pay an expensive registration fee and participate in a robotic competition? |

Now I'm having visions of thousands of balloons and a grumpy old man. Oh, and a talking dog. No talking dogs on the field. Grumpy old men are ok - sometimes. |

There can be a fine line between intimidation and inspiration when it come to the elite in FIRST. Those teams who have committed to setting the bar for excellence in ways that change the culture, help to draw that line and deepen it. |

Just get a nice big box of maraschino cherries and a cup of coffee and settle yourself down for a fun read. You'll be amazed at the ideas that you are going to have pop into your head. |

Sometimes, it takes years to gain respect and to learn to understand the opportunities that avail themselves to those who pay attention, are willing to learn from the best, and dig deeper into understanding what it means to be a competitive FRC team. |

If it were not about winning, it would not be called a competition - but FRC is much more than winning a competition. |

This is the hint that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people start guessing not knowing what it was, and they'll continue to guess forever just because... |

We should have a 'Steps Taken For FIRST' contest. Everyone wear a pedometer and keep a log of how many miles you walked at the St. Louis Championship. That could be a lot of fun. Do they make pedometers for robot carts? |

Every single team in FRC has had a rookie season. All those... have stories. Some are sad, some are funny, some are inspiring - but all the teams have stories to be told... Each year is a chapter in the team's history book with stories to be told and shared. |
