Being the GDC is not an easy job, anything can happen. Lunacy happened ::rtm:: |

Engineering is a big, big type of fishing to teach. Inspiring kids to study it in college might be more practical. |

Unfortunately, there's no special type of transmission that will magically get you past defense. The best way to deal with defense is to practice, regardless of gearing. |

So we developed AI... it figured out the clue... already... made itself accordingly... and is currently walking to the peachtree regional if you find him ask him what the objectives are, we'd sure like to know! |

The card system worked. Well. It was used properly and (except for when Paul yellow carded Andy during his "Thank you" speech) wasn't abused. I applaud the referees. Kudos. |

You move on because FIRST isn't about the penalty or the un-penalty or whose robot is agressive and who is timid. |

FIRST always talks about grandmothers and making them proud.
So FIRST---you made my grandmother proud. |

IT ISN'T THE STUDENT'S JOB TO DISCIPLINE OTHER STUDENTS. That's why God invented mentors. Let them do their jobs. |

To think that one can "learn" engineering in 6 weeks while under the strain of building a robot too is proposterous. FIRST isn't about teaching. It's about inspiring.

I think being successful in FIRST is creating an environment where people can grow, learn, change, and recreate... It's about making an environment where kids feel they can be successful... in whatever discipline they choose. |

A game where you don't have control of your robot for long periods of time is no fun (unless, of course you are talking about autonomous :p) |

The answer doesn't lie with an all student run team, or an Engineer-fest team... But somewhere in the middle. Moderation is key. |

"You are the lead programmer now, therefore everything that goes wrong is your fault. When anything good happens its the teams fault."
"But what if the robot spontaneously combusts?"
"Your Fault."

Not all current students are math dummies. Not all 1960's students were math geniuses either. |

So we are able to run a very competitive and active robotics program. Sustainability, alas, is a month-to-month issue for us and is dictated by the space situation. This is okay today. Tomorrow could be different. We live like this. |

Yes ONE blue banner would be nice one of these days, but I've never lost focus of why we as mentors do what we do. It's about preparing the students for "defense" in life, and laugh when your robot gets scored into a goal. |

We score 8 out of 10 every match. Oh wait, that's just what it does in theory. ;) Man, I wish that theory worked. |

You know, I have 2 big addictions in my life right now: ice cream, and FIRST. While the prior may not be great for my health, I think I'm doing just fine with FIRST. - Beth Sweet [more]
