I owe a debt, as many FIRSTers do, to the entire organization as a whole. Every team, every student, every person involved has help make FIRST what it is today. This is my Thank You. ~Anonymous |

Robotics for me though really is hard to beat. Though tiring and exhausting, the memories you build are priceless. |

A robot is replaced every season by the next robot, but a friend, team member, mentor, and memories will never be replaced. |

To me, being in FIRST is the biggest learning experience anyone can have. I want to give that experience to everyone I can, be it now or thirty years down the line. |

Seriously I didn't think that "FIRST, it's the WWF for smart people" would ever catch on. |

I got dragged into FIRST against my will, and it was the best thing that's ever happened to me. |

Good programmers always find a better way to do something, especially when it's not obvious where those improvements can be found. |

Yes indeed... ten years ago tomorrow, those famous words "water game" were first mentioned on Chief Delphi! Oh, how things have and have not changed... |

The minute humans begin depending on robots for anything in their daily routine is .... well, let's just hope people "in it for the lulz" don't take notice. |

FIRST is the best thing I could have ever done. It shows me where I think my limits are, and it destroys them right in front of my eyes. My experiences with FIRST have defined who I am, and I am beyond blessed to have had them. |

Show me the mentor who has never built a bad robot and I'll show you either a new mentor, a liar, or Andy Baker. |

I suggest that FIRST should include a "big red button" in the KOP next year to make everyone happy. :p |

After all of this is said and done, think about how much more you all will know about the lovely state of Montana and other things not related to robotics. :) |

Seasons are often made or broken in the first week of build season. 1114 wouldn't be repeatedly giving their strategic design seminar if it wasn't that important. |

The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. |

These predictions are just a bit of fun. Neither these, nor the division threads, are meant to be comprehensive. Don't like 'em?
Go out there and prove them wrong! |

As for polls, there's a check box in the "Additional Options" section of the New Thread page that you can click to create said poll. |

Adam, when most of us look at your robots, we aren't thinking, "How Creative!" What we are thinking is more like, "Holy Crap!" |
