Fame is a funny thing, you can do nothing and get it, and do everything and get none. For me, it's not fame, but infamy that follows me. |

My friend Noah said he talked to someone that knew me from Chiefdelphi. That's just creepy. |

Yes, it can. You'll have to ask the lawyers around here whether it's legal or not. |

If 100 people from ChiefDelphi all wrote one full article on something that they are an 'expert' in, FIRSTwiki would be even better. |

It's always nice to have the outside party take a look at your code because one of two things can happen: 1. They write it better. 2. They find your stupid mistake. |

Ah, drills & motors. Brings back old memories of FIRST |

FIRST prides itself on safety. It shouldn't be limited to only the pit area. |

In my line of work, we affectionately refer to this approach as "Seagull Engineering". Why? Because we swoop in, flap around making a lot of noise and commotion, leave a big mess of "stuff" behind and then fly off. |

My nagging fear is that I'm a programming dinosaur, stuck in a procedural tar pit and doomed to extinction as the dataflow mammals take over. |

I hope that all of our new members are as helpful as the one above. We will be in for an amazing season if that is the case. |

While many teams like to go fast, only a select few do it well. |

IMO the main idea behind FIRST is for the mentors and students to work together to produce a machine that the students could never have produced on their own. |

1114 is the definition of what a FIRST team should be. For anyone to say otherwise is disgusting to me. |

So is it important to try? Without a doubt. Does it become frustrating to not win? Most certainly. Should you stop trying? Never! |

Woody says that gracious professionalism is "acting how you would if you grandmother was watching you"... some people must have some really crazy grandmothers. (: |

However, as a philosopher, while you need math, you can probably talk your way out of it. |

By far, the worst thing about it was the severe lack of cowbell. There was no cowbell what so ever. Had there been cowbell that would have completely changed everything for me. |

"Nuclear" is pronounced "nu kli Er." It is NOT pronounced "nu kU ler." When you use this pronunciation, no matter how smart you may actually be, you sound like an illiterate dolt (are you listening, Mr. Bush?). |

Instead of prototyping with plywood and machining metal for the final version, they make their prototypes out of sheet metal and machine the final robot out of wood. :) |

Whatever you do, make it idiot-proof. Not because your drivers are idiots, but because the fewer precision maneuvers they have to do, the more awesome driving (and scoring!) they have time to do. |
