If you water it and nurture it and fertilize it and put it out in the sunlight, it might just grow up to be a big lathe... :) |

There is no shame in admitting someone is better than you at something doesn't make them a better person just means they have skill you haven't figured out yet. The only shame is if you are too proud to ask for help and to learn. |

Competitions are won or lost far away from witnesses, ... In those long hours, is where we find inspiration in ourselves. For what inspires is not another's feats, but realize we have the power in ourselves to achieve that feat. |

Every team in FIRST can make this choice. Be positive, help others, and work like a maniac behind the scenes. This approach will bring you joy and satisfaction, whether you win or not. |

Stand strong mentors. You never know who you have become a brother, sister, father, or mother to. |

you can't eat a poof ball. its filled with magic smoke. it'd kill you quicker than a robot rampaging in autonomous mode, when you have the green light strapped to your face. |

FIRST competitions are a microcosm of real world engineering projects. |

Real projects have good and bad aspects, problems that must be dealt with, and lots of things that dont make any sense from your side of the fence. |

I like the way you are saving weight by cutting out the center of the speed controllers. |

Teams should make it a practice to protect their Victors (all the electronics, really) from the mechanical folks, with their saws and files and stone axes... |

Good engineering often comes down to knowing the difference between "better" and "good enough." |

Gracious Professionalism is a compass, not a set of calipers. It should be used to guide what you do rather than to measure it. |

So basically, the advantage of #35 is that it allows you to be sloppier in your design and fabrication. If you pay close attention to these details, you will never have a problem with #25 chain. |

That is definitely a question for the GDC. My guess would be no (but I am frequently wrong). |

FIRSTers in particular want very strictly delineated guidelines so that they know exactly what parameters under which they're working, except when they don't. |

Ban the ingredients for cheesecake, and stores will find substitutes. Remove the market for them, and stores have no reason to make them. |

You'll find that there are plenty of teams and individuals who shout. You'll also find there are a smaller subset of teams and individuals that do. Those that do tend to be the ones that get their way. |

If that due diligence shows that a real need for action exists, *then* grab the pitchforks, and light the torches. |

p.s. note that 5-1/2 hours in the car with your daughter on the way to IRI is NOT the same as 10 hours in the van with seven members of Team 116 on the way to IRI. One is a wonderful familial experience, the other is an opportunity to go insane. |

Now if MTV had an episode of "Made" where the school's top jock wanted to drive a FIRST's teams robot to victory...now that would be a good one. |
