Can we just get over this inane lawyering of the rules and get back to building robots?

The first was a fish, all silver and spotted.
“An opah?” I asked. “Yes,” my friend nodded.
I knew not what it meant as I sat there and stared,
But I appreciated the thoughts that the posters had shared. |

I'm not overdosed, I'm not even addicted. I just choose to never, ever, ever leave FIRST. |

The Tekin's used to constantly suffer from spontaneous combustion, it was extremely frustrating how often they would go. |

If you don't like physical play build a stronger robot. |

the bang for the buck is unparalled. Where else can $6000 change an entire group of student's lives forever? |

There's nothing that you can do to please everyone. You have to figure out where you stand and hold your ground. |

I began to see myself as an independent person who was not only being inspired, but able to inspire others and strengthen the FIRST program as a whole. |

I wouldn't recommend using steel because it will eat up your weight budget pretty quickly. |

its kind of a bad idea to implement traction control when you have no traction in the first place. |

Overall... the secret is PROTOTYPING! Design is an iterative process. Do some basic design in your head. Build it. Test it. Improve it. Repeat until satisfied. |

The FIRST program is different. It has a different purpose. It isn't superficial, it's results are long term and lasting.
I hope that FIRST is still on message. |

I think we're doing pretty well . . . but I will never, ever say that "we are ahead of schedule." It's a curse. :D |

Of course, someone who can score on all rack levels while hovering autononmously 12 inches off the floor in his own home zone could probably have posted on CD while winning a regional.;) |

Build season is the best time of the year. Better than Christmas because the presents are cooler, and better than new years cause you get to stay up later. |

I found the best way to slice through pit crowds is to carry a clipboard and look like you know where you are going. People just seem to slide out of your way. :) |

Half your robot could be broken, some drive chains snapped, a drive motor burned out, etc... and your WCD will still be trucking. |

I continue in FIRST because I'm not looked down upon for not knowing how to do something, but held up because I want to learn. |

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we have to displace objects and/or robots in order to score points. |

Strategy is rarely static, and how you design your robot isn't always the best way to win the game. |

For me, this is the most powerful message of FIRST, that people can come together and work together to achieve so much, and leave old rivalries, grudges, and hard feelings behind. When people talk about culture change, this is what I hope for. |
