Engineering literature?
Is that like jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, or legal brief? You know, an oxymoron? |

Engineering is all about trade offs. You can design yor system to do A, B or C easily. Combining A abd C or A and B or B and C requires some effort. Combining A, B and C should be near impossible. |

remember FIRST is just an extracuricular activity in which most of the work is technichan's work...what gets you into college are good grades and a good course load...as my mom always said, "getting good grades gives you the freedom to chose to be whatever you want and go wherever you want" |

See, building a really great robot is just a pseudo challenge for the concept of the whole FIRST program. It is just a phony way to bring people together to reach one common goal. |

My team heard another team describe the Championships as "10,000 kids jamming the Georgia Dome for 3 days…more nerds per square foot than a Star Trek convention…and more purposefully employed "
Is this true?, Because I don't think there could possibly be a more wonderful place on earth |

Those four stages will most likely be supplanted with the more aptly named phased approach: "Don't Panic", "Consider Panicing" and "Why havent we been panicing?" |

[Don't] celebrate mediocrity and want the losers to have an equal chance? Please. Work your butt off for six weeks, keep doing it until you have taught yourself how to be excellent, and go and instead of waiting for a handout. |
