Every single person on the team, read the manual, cover to cover, NO skimming. Do not give the task of knowing the rules to a few people. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, READ THE MANUAL. |

Define "surgery". I think we have enough close calls with "surgery" as it is. Thank god for disable dongles. |

Such is life in the fast-paced, laugh-in-the-face-of-adversity, never-let-them-see-you-sweat, sometimes-you're-the-windshield-sometimes-you're-the-bug world of FIRST Robotics! |

The bulk of the hardest fun you'll ever have is opening up that box in early january, and the six week of chaos that that box of parts puts you through. |

The function of that part is to keep one student occupied playing with it during the entire build season. It doesn't have to be the same student all the time, they can take turns. |

By the end of the year, I have a feeling that I'm going to know much, much more about the intricacies of orbit balls than I ever wanted to. |

[You know you're proud to be a FIRSTer when...] You explain to someone how do do something, they go off and do it, come back and ask, "is this right?" and you say,
"Yes."

Welcome to adulthood.
Remember, patience is your friend. Denial is your shield. Bitter disinterest your salve. Your endless hours of crushing workload will be your strength.
Good luck, soldier. |

So every 3 years robots have to lift robots? There's yet another pattern to consider. :p |

I have also emailed Dean Kamen for more information regarding our team and its future, as I may have confused myself a bit. |

My calculations indicate that the game will involve pouring large areas of concrete and waiting for it to dry. Field reset should be interesting. |

I've got much more out of FIRST ever since I stopped and realized I can gain so much more from trying to improve my current team's situation rather than complain about teams who have more. |

I think that this clearly indicates that 2017 will be the year we finally see 3.63 robots per alliance. |
