Tell them your newfound passion for FIRST as a program, and let them know all you're doing is getting more involved to broaden your FIRST horizon |

..this is the first robot we've built that succeeded at everything we wanted it to. It was simple. It was low maintenance. It scored effectively. It had an autonomous that worked. Its look caught attention. And it was finished on schedule. |

Noticed it and mentioned it to all of my college friends, who confirmed for me that I am still a complete nerd. |

Don't let them fail at the end. |

It is a difficult balancing act - we're engineers because we like to solve problems, and to take a step back and let someone else solve it, with what may be a poorer solution, is darn hard.

If all goes well (cross fingers) we'll have a joystick for driving and one - count it, one - button: FIRE |

While science and technology can solve difficult problems, it is people and interaction that make it all work. |

Here, and in general, avoid jumping to conclusions without research. This will serve you well in life.

It's still not about the robots. FIRST is about doing the right thing. |

Teams should make it a practice to protect their Victors (all the electronics, really) from the mechanical folks, with their saws and files and stone axes... |

The difference between a Tinkerer and an Engineer is that the Engineer will be able to tell you the results before you start. |

I trust my life to a 3650 pound rolling chunk of metal every day that, if some silicon failed in just the right (wrong?) way, would splat me pretty quickly, but I have faith in engineering.
On the other hand, it doesn't turn me upside down. |

Do not interrupt, do not defend yourself - just listen. After they are done, be sure to thank them for their honest feedback, and close the books. Arguing or defending is not how to accept feedback. |

For those who don't have snow in the forecast - i.e., not New England - just send me your shipping address and I'll FedEx some snow to you right away. We have extra. :p |
