Chief Delphi - Spotlight List

Not every team can start 200 teams in Canada or Hawaii because they are located in relatively dense region of teams already. This doesn't mean they can't impact their local and surrounding areas. This is where you have to be creative. - tim-tim [more]

	As Grandma used to say, "empirical data is better than no data at all."	dlavery	RogerR
	We can not close our eyes, ears and minds from March to December.	Dave Campbell	RogerR
	Stratagy drives design, not features.	Wetzel	RogerR
	It is not for any other team to say what is beyond a person's or a team's capabilities. That's why they have mentors :-)	preussrobotics	RogerR

	When you boil it down, the name “FIRST-a-holic” represents our passion for changing the world, our energy for difficult challenges, and our bravery in facing unknowns.	Ken Leung	RogerR
	Listen to this FIRST: Thank you	Daniel Brim	RogerR
	Don’t choose to aim for the stars because they mark the peak of our abilities, don’t choose to aim for the stars because it is easy, choose to aim for the stars because it shows the depth of our potential; choose to aim for the stars because it is hard!	Ken Leung	RogerR

	We have donut eating contests to see who has the best legs. We paint our pigs. We argue about which time zone we are in. About 400,000 of us gather together to watch cars go around in a circle. We also build robots.Yep, our cultural norm is a bit different.	Andy Baker	RogerR
	The biggest fallacy in FIRST is the belief we are just a bunch of different teams. We are ONE BIG TEAM with a lot of sub teams for the purpose of competition.	Al Skierkiewicz	RogerR

	There is no exit strategy in FIRST	RoboMom	RogerR
	My wife thought the lead singer, Ozzy Kamen was cute. Darn those rockers.	Andy Baker	RogerR

	Our job as mentors isn't to teach them how to make a robot...It's to teach them that there is value in technology and being among the people who create it.	Andy A.	RogerR
	The point is that while having the abiltity to find information in a variety of reference sources is a useful skill, it does not replace a good, complete, fundamental knowledge of your subject material.	dlavery	RogerR
	If mentors don't respect the students' desire to learn and take an active role in the construction, they're missing the point of FIRST. If students refuse to accept the knowledge and experience of the mentors, that's not independence - it's arrogance.	DB213parent	RogerR
	Do give credit to the mentors, because they make you who you are.	Arefin Bari	RogerR
	As we all know, a low Center of Gravity is a beautiful thing.	Andy Baker	RogerR
	It's about compressing life into 6 weeks. It's about doing. It's about learning to fail. It's about gracious professionalism. It's about releasing the limitations that we all put on ourselves. It's about thinking outside of the box. It's about growing.	JohnBoucher	RogerR
	Quality has nothing to do with desire – you can’t wish quality. Quality has nothing to do with time, or money, or the other guy’s attitude. Quality has everything to do with craftsmanship.	Jack Jones	RogerR
	This is high school robotics for fun and education. Let's try and keep it that way.	Rod	RogerR

	Sometimes it's not what you know going into a battle, but who you know.	Elgin Clock	RogerR
	Legend has it that Brandon installs the server in a bulletproof case shortly before Kickoff. That way, when the server explodes, the damage to surrounding things is minimal.	Billfred	RogerR

	Mentor: You must first learn patience... Student (impatiently): How long is that going to take?	kaszeta	RogerR
	Don't let them fail at the end.	DonRotolo	RogerR
	You can make unfounded guesses, but chances are you'll come off looking like a moron. Let's try and avoid that.	Karthik	RogerR
	So perhaps those that are so eager to complain might realize that if they spent a little less time complaining and a little more time analyzing the problem and developing solutions, then they might have a little less to complain about.	dlavery	RogerR
	Don't Canadians spell it that way? Someone should cheque on that....	Travis Hoffman	RogerR
	You can't guarantee outcomes -- only effort. If your team did its best, be satisfied.	Rick TYler	RogerR
	Instead of "Team XXXX graciously accepts" how about just a big "yeaaaahhhhh!" ?	sanddrag	RogerR
	Another year, another picture of a Tytus injury.	Andy Baker	RogerR
	Oh, and a general guiding principle: Don't be stupid.	Billfred	RogerR
	PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads.	Andy A.	RogerR
	...remember, this is coming from someone that spent the better part of an afternoon playing with an omniwheel--not assembling, not disassembling, just playing.	Billfred	RogerR

	It all seems like good clean fun until someone drops a Phaeton 65 meters.	Rick TYler	RogerR

	Go get Al, he probably isn't busy!	Jimmy Nichols	RogerR

	I have postulated a theory that it is due to a resonance between gravity waves and the color purple.	petek	Rohith Surampudi

	Krispy Kreme and Diet Coke. Accept no substitutes!	dlavery	Rohith Surampudi
	Coming up next on Pimp My Ride.....Yo man, here is the real deal. A two-oh-oh-six Segway I-one-eighty, with stock rims, stock fenders, and two 3 horse motors that red-line at twelve point five miles per hour. Get ready, because I'm going pimp this ride!	artdutra04	Rohith Surampudi
