I have also emailed Dean Kamen for more information regarding our team and its future, as I may have confused myself a bit. |

FIRST is supposed to be a learning experience. Learn first, win awards later. |

I'd be more worried about getting struck by lightning right after winning the lottery. :p |

I'd be upset if someone threw away my robotics shirts. Because then I'd have no shirts. |

I don't care if you use hot dogs for wheels. If you're scoring points, and you fit the strategy, it's fine. |

I'm nervous for those awesome rookie teams that you may not know about much but that just come and do awesome with some fantastic strategy...Rookies rock. |

I'm sure there are many people out there who check their rep screen every 20 minutes in hope of positive reinforcement in a unique community, where they may not get positive reinforcement for sharing information in their home, school, or robotics program. |

Now, everyone knows that Oompaloompas are like bunnies in that they have an insatiable desire to multiply, and the same can be said with Michigan teams (with all due respect) which are currently multiplying and filling that hand-shaped democratic kingdom with their honorable number. |

Rules can be rewritten, problems can be fixed, but peoples' feelings are far from inanimate - they need more consideration than just being "corrected". |

No matter their age, no matter their generation, every mentor and student must be responsible for their actions, and for understand that compromise and maturity are the paths to team success. |

We can read about torque and speed in books, we can build a robot and drive it, but determination and character are built by time and encouragement, not just by studying. |

You want to be treated like a professional, so you need to continue to act like one even if the odds are against you. |

If you do mentor FIRST, be an asset to your team, but know that your students will admire you all the more if you set an example and finish your own homework. |

I'll toss this out to stir up the pot: if you need double precision floats for your FRC software, you should re-think what you're doing. |

It's a hunch, based on engineering intuition; there are too many hard-to-quantify variables to do any accurate calculations. Looking for some experimental corroboration or refutation. |

The toughest part about that Chairman's Award was the fact that someone was cutting onions in the stands near 558/on the field while it was being read out. At least that was the excuse I'm going to use ;) |
