If you don't have a butt to fill that seat, you don't need it. When the butt arrives, we'll make room. |

The best legacy of this little machine is the inspiration she provided to a whole generation of future explorers who witnessed the unveiling of a planet through the eyes of a robot. |

If enough students "get it," the team will begin to. And if enough students "get it," the smart ones will seek out all the extra help they can get. That's how I found Chiefdelphi... |

For those who have been doing this for a long time, design is an emotional experience. |

In the end, we were successful, but the tale is one of such stupidity that it should be engraved in drool upon a failed math test. |

254 bends CIM shafts every now and then in the drivetrain. I didn't believe it was possible until I saw it myself. |

A Guru teaching batteries at Exide: "Do not draw your power from up here, by your terminals. You must reach down deep into your plates and pull the energy from your entire being! You must prove yourself worthy to be FIRST power cells!" |

As a programmer, I am trying to use more 0's than 1's to save weight. |

Something is subtly different about the competition environment that makes everything worse. |

This whole experience, the entirety of what FIRST represents and promotes, is about inspiring individuals to make something more of themselves and creating a better world; when you consider this, our individual victories seem meaningless. |

[Bring] programmers [to Championships], they may be small, quite and easy to miss while leaving for Atlanta but its hard to do anything robotic without them, I've tried. |

Mind you, the Q&A forum and competition officials DO take precedence over my opinion. |

Our job is to play the game that the GDC gave us, not the one we think they should have given us. |

When teams work together to design things rather than going it alone, you can really come up with magnificent machines. |

You can learn just as much from building a small robot as you can from a large bot because all of the key concepts are the same. |

We'll defenestrate our programmer, and I'll report back our solution if we get anything working. |

The trick is to train the rest of the team to blame electrical instead. |

We're all human, we all make mistakes. How you deal with mistakes and problems, is what really elevates successful people, robotics teams, organizations, etc. above the rest. |

Are they Robots? Of course they aren't robots; they are obviously and unambiguously robots. |

The robot competition is the most obvious, visible, and distilled-media-friendly part of the picture... We shouldn't be surprised that it's all that gets into the news coverage, when that coverage is managed by someone who isn't already well versed in what FIRST is trying to do. |

Being consistently enthusiastic with a consistent message is not easy to do without sounding like a cult. We could use a reasonably large collection of things to say that restate the mission and vision of FIRST but don't appear to be stock phrases. |

The real question is has anybody ever learned anything actionable from a game hint or red herring. |
