But please take into account that each year, the GDC has to come up with a rule book that will spend the next three months being picked apart by 40,000 of the brightest, most creative minds on the planet. I think they do an outstanding job of it. |

The sword is only as powerful as it's beholder. But if you choose the labview sword you won't get much tech support at regionals. |

We had an over all losing record this year. When I look at kid's faces, they don't give a rip about that. I see excitement about the next event and talking about improvements for next year. Winning is nice, but that is not the reason I do what I do. |

100% of the robots on Einstein in 2009 had hard plastic wheels for their drive train. |

Q: "What does your robot do?" A: "It collects data about the surrounding environment, then discards it and drives into walls" |

A good engineer will never stop learning. From his peers, technicians, and competitors. The field is just to vast for any one person to know it all. |

Every robot needs a locky-thingy. A robot without one might fire when it isn't supposed to, and hit the wrong target; e.g., a referee, FTA, or robot inspector. |

For those of us in the north, a water game turns into an ice game, which becomes Lunacy. And I don't think any of us want that. |

FRC isn't for every school; it takes a lot of drive just to fundraise every year. It is a premium program that requires a premium about of effort to sustain and be successful. And man is it fun to do. |

Sometimes students ask me if MIT wants students who are well-rounded. I usually say I don't care as much if you're well-rounded or pointy, what I care about is evaluating the space enclosed by the shape. |
