The most important things for a team to take to any competition are a sense of humor, a big bottle of Advil, and a camera!

You can't please all the people all the time. The rationale of "lots of people don't like it" is not a reason to stop doing it. |

And I will most definitely never forget watching this bald, brown thin wisp of a human being charging up to us across the sidelines after the semifinals ended waving his hands and shouting "New Strategy!!!!!! New Strategy!!!!!!" as he rallied the troops for our Finals push.

FIRST is here to inspire you, to challenge you. Part of that process is giving you a task too hard, resources too little, people too many, time too short. |

FIRST isnt about getting what you deserve, FIRST is about other people seeing potential in us - and giving us an opportunity that we could never have earned on our own

In my opinion, I wouldnt want gifts or praise from people about my help to a robotics team, all I would want is a thank you, that would make all my hard work and efforts worth while and it would prove to me that I could actually be making a difference in the students lives |
