I swear, at IRI, Gary and I only talked about coming up with a plan to do away with Billfred, we didn't actually do anything... yet... |

I like how the photo is of John Neun, and everyone is still making fun of John V-Neun |

Every event that starts with "a little bit of fun" has the potential to end in disaster. Please think about all possible outcomes before you do anything stupid. |

I'm pretty sure Andrew Baker and Andy Baker are the same person. Then again, Andy may just be holding out on us. |

Whether or not your team has the technical mentors, as long as your kids are still inspired by the adult technical mentors of other teams, and get the picture that we're trying to portray in this program, the best that you can do is the best you can do. Do it, and be proud of your results. |

I've ridden the real Segway many times and I think it is a truly remarkable machine and worth every cent (if you have enough cents to spend on it). |

I think Dave was tired...he kept muttering something about "eviscerating" someone. Heidi seemed to be doing most of the talking. Actually, after talking with 29,000 people, I think she lost her voice. Or maybe Dave "eviscerated" it.... |

I hope you realize that by starting this thread you have earned yourself a permanent place at the "WOEWITWISTFT" ("What On Earth Was I Thinking When I Started THAT FIRST Trend?") table. It's members are few, but the conversation is the most honest and amusing in the entire place. ;) |

Ah, this sounds like a sitcom whose pilot I should write and send to NBC - "Life With Lavery". There's a lot of eating, several practical jokes, and lots of bad hair. |

Designing for failure tends to encourage failure. Worrying about failure analysis during the competition can become a self fulfilling prophesy. Break your pots in the fall and learn how to keep them from breaking. |

Force yourself now, today, to learn one new thing each day. When you lay down on your fluffy pillow at night, before you say your prayers, ask yourself if you have learned anything new. If the answer is "NO" then you better get up and find something. |

Programming isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. It has a steep learning curve like math. One day your trying to figure out 1+1, then the next day they throw x and y at you. Once you understand what x and y represent and learn to think in terms of functions, it's as easy as pi. |

Titanium is almost twice as heavy as aluminum. I can have the bragging aspect of making a bullet resistant robot, but if someone is coming into a competition and shooting my robot, I have more important things to worry about! |

In most cases on FIRST robots, we have more material than in we need in some places and less than we need in others. That single phenomenon is the leading cause of robot failures. |

When I first read this comic, I thought "Awww, how cute!". But then, thoughts of Karthik singing J. Lo's "Love Don't Cost a Thing" started running around through my head, and everything changed. |
