It is critical to our continued growth and success to recognize, and to make others realize, THERE ARE NO OPPONENTS. |

my theory on the matter was always something along the lines of "Oh, we're all girls? What an odd thing for you to notice." |

Do not worry about the VEX camp versus FIRST camp issues. It is a huge marketplace. It is only about 4% penetrated. There is room for everyone. And competition is good for the consumer. |

We need to start building FIRST competition arenas and leasing them in the off-season to the sports teams and conventions ;) |

Your GPA in High School and College is a reflection of your cooperation with educational processes, nothing more. It is NOT a measurement of how much you know or how much you can learn. |

"What connection is the most vital to the success of your robot?" The one between the drivers brain and hands, and the one between the coaches brain and mouth. None of the other ones matter if those two don't work. |

Place a corner of it on the end of a table, clamp down the other side, and have a good whack at it with a hammer (hard). If it didn't break, it was polycarbonate. |

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can AND WILL be held against you (AND YOUR TEAM) in the court of public opinion.
So choose what you do wisely. |

Now, everyone knows that Oompaloompas are like bunnies in that they have an insatiable desire to multiply, and the same can be said with Michigan teams (with all due respect) which are currently multiplying and filling that hand-shaped democratic kingdom with their honorable number. |

What I learned from week-1 is that once again my son has been inspired to the level that he came home after the BAE Systems Granite State FIRST Robotics Regional Competition with the biggest smile I have seen on his face for a long long time. I am truly grateful for that. |

Winning is important.
Learning is important.
Inspiring students is important.
Teaching Students is important.
Figuring out how to do all of these at the same time, in my opinion, is the meaning of FIRST. |

Innovating for the sake of innovating, reinventing the wheel is probably the second biggest pitfall you can fall into when designing an FRC robot, if the wheel is already a very optimized, good solution. |

Sometimes, it takes years to gain respect and to learn to understand the opportunities that avail themselves to those who pay attention, are willing to learn from the best, and dig deeper into understanding what it means to be a competitive FRC team. |

If it were not about winning, it would not be called a competition - but FRC is much more than winning a competition. |
