I see people show up to a competition with their masterpiece, and proud of it. They are inspired by what they have accomplished. To make it onto the field is a high-it is the culmination of the thousands of hours of dedication compromises and commitment. They feel on top of the world. That's FIRST. |

A chop saw may cut aluminum, a knife can also be used to eat ice cream. |

I'm definitely not advocating PVC tanks. I'm just saying that if you're going to be an idiot, please be slightly less of an idiot. |

I told people that I was a summit for world leaders for our regional. We had two that are current world leaders and over 1000 that will be ones in 2029. |

But their robot puts its wheels on one at a time just like ours, so we can be a HOF winner too! |

It's never been about the robots. But the robots make an interesting misdirection that we all use. So its ALL about the robots. :rolleyes: |

OK, repeat after me "FIRST is not about the robot". |

first post and the FRC "well what is a stick" comes in. Toothpick, does it need to be round, does a carbon fiber chain of Buckie balls count as a stick. CD posters are sooooo predictable. |

If you have time to complain about how other people are making a difference, it's clear that YOU are not working hard enough to make a difference. |

They are "Human Dream and Inspiration Enablement Devices" but since that takes too long to say and explain I use the word "robot". |

And if you are unhappy about me using "robot", let me break your heart over what we've done to the word "cheesecake". |

None. Ours is anorexic at the moment. Lets see if the building people can come up with a simple tetra-knockdown mechanism. |

What I learned from week-1 is that once again my son has been inspired to the level that he came home after the BAE Systems Granite State FIRST Robotics Regional Competition with the biggest smile I have seen on his face for a long long time. I am truly grateful for that. |

They already tried that... But here is the thing: it wasn't a bunch of guys in white coats. It was 3 guys: 1 in denim, 1 with a pony-tail, and 1 with a bright colored shirt.... |

Our prototypes are good and running, now just need to do some magic to transform all that wood to aluminum. :eek: |

They have a ton of spirit but they are somewhat humble in their application of it. |

The point of FIRST is to get a wide range of kids together and have them work as a TEAM. |

Mentors are here to guide and explain not to decide and do. |

I don't think that FIRST is going to get better with a top down solution alone, it is going to take a grass roots effort to strengthen teams. That starts by teams getting off their "islands", self imposed or otherwise. |

FIRST for me is getting to opportunity to learn from the smartest people I know, the mentors. |

We didn't need a championship to recognize the kids on our [little league] team and we sure didn't need one to inspire them. If you want to go to the championships then work harder, don't try and lessen the value of the championships by letting everyone in. |

Possibly the most amazing thing all week was that this game can be played with mecanum wheels. |
