	FIRST is here to reach the affluent, already college-bound students with boundless resources; it is also here to reach the poverty-stricken urban and rural students who don't see a diploma as worthwhile, and everybody in between.	Taylor	Ekcrbe
	The low bar will make your electronics team cry.	Joe G.	Ekcrbe
	Engineering fundamentally comes down to problem solving, and if the students can't get excited and inspired by the problem solving process because someone has spoon fed them a solution, then nobody wins. Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime.	kevinw	Eldarion
	Some clever fellow a few years back made a little scooter based on this principal and made so much on the idea he can afford the finest denim in the land.	phrontist	Eldarion
	Students and engineers should work side by side, actually inspiring each other.	Andy Baker	Eldarion
	With all that chain call it Link and dress it up like Zelda.	nuggetsyl	electron
	Also, after 3 years of FRC I finally hugged that Platypi!	That 281 Guy	elemental
	Is Atlanta an Indian word for "take the longest path between two places"?	Klondike Mike	Elgin Clock
	It's a bit sad, really, because FIRST has already reached other countries and there are some U.S. states that still are unaware of what FIRST is!!	tribotec_ca88	Elgin Clock
	I love robotics, it has a spot for every kinda future career a student chooses.	Bharat Nain	Elgin Clock
	...and then at the end they interviewed this 5 year old on his favorite part (of the fair): "I liked the robot"	Jessica Boucher	Elgin Clock
	I find it quite amazing that this thread has been continuously active for more than two years.	Stephanie	Elgin Clock
	"Oblivious" people asking questions are what gives us an excuse to sit around on CD.	Ryan M.	Elgin Clock
	It doesn't make a team better if they have just one sponsor or if they have 100 sponsors. However, you should commend a team who struggled to pay the bill with a list of sponsors one hundred long for showing their strength, perseverance and love for participating in the FIRST robotics program.	MikeDubreuil	Elgin Clock
	And Dave...should I borrow someone's hair dryer from here in case the NASA truck needs some de-icing again this year?	Billfred	Elgin Clock
	Supporting a FIRST team, only paying 10 bucks, and possibly winning a segway... what could be better! :)	Tom Bottiglieri	Elgin Clock
	Never underestimate the power of curious and impatient FIRSTers ;)	kpugh	Elgin Clock
	And remember, it's the fall semester. So FIRST isn't an excuse for a failing grade (not that it's ever an excuse)!	Billfred	Elgin Clock
	To all programmers: you are Geniuses!	Ashley Weed	Elgin Clock
	Just like a mentor used to call a deburring tool, the whirlygig....it just sticks. Also, whirlygig....what a sweet name for a tool.	Stephen Kowski	Elgin Clock
	So many possibilities so many different meanings and soo many different opinions. LOL but i guess this is what FIRST is all about.	Bcahn836	Elgin Clock
	Moreover, lets discuss robots, its more fun :p	Bharat Nain	Elgin Clock
	With three robots, I was expecting better scores but I guess more robots means more penalties, not more points.	sanddrag	Elgin Clock
	The secret to this whole thing is that it's the robot that builds the team.	JohnBoucher	Elgin Clock
	If all you've seen of an event is the three days of the competition, you've missed 99% of the work that made it happen.	Madison	Elgin Clock
	We are making this up as we go along - please don't confuse us by telling us the way that it really should be done.	dlavery	Elgin Clock
	this is a TEAM effort...teach them something. Who knows, with a little luck, you might just learn something yourself!	Nuttyman54	Elgin Clock
	Am I the only one who thinks robots are the main attraction of a regional, and there isn't a need for more distraction?	Adam Richards	Elgin Clock
	If you don't manage weight from the beginning, weight will manage you at the end.	charrisTTI	Elgin Clock
	Quote from my mentor: "Keep things as complex as necessary, and not a bit more."	Mike	Elgin Clock
	Fire and smoke are great if you're into Battlebots, but we like to avoid them in FIRST competitions.		Elgin Clock
	As a rookie team member at my first event, i had a great time, the little glitches meaning nothing.	Gluedtothefloor	Elgin Clock
	It doesn't always work when you put the word gracious in front of anything. Think Battle bots, after a winning match do ya go over to the loser and go we Graciously kicked your butt!?	Alex Cormier	Elgin Clock
	In fact, one of our volunteers just found out about the entire FIRST program two weeks ago and had so much fun on Thursday that he came back on Friday to help us again!	KathieK	Elgin Clock
	....FIRST helped me realize how much i enjoy engineering, so that i NEED to do well in my classes if i want to reach my goals.	the_short1	Elgin Clock
	Is it weird that I was hoping we wouldn't have too many snow days so that graduation wouldn't run into Battlecry?	ScoutingNerd175	Elgin Clock
	it's shadows and fog and stormy skies and a reminder that things are rarely black and white but instead, the places in between.	MissInformation	Elgin Clock
	When it was at 222, I was like 'Tigertrons from Tunkhahoohaasomethingconfusing Pennsylvania!' and my friend hit me for being such a loser.	Church	Elgin Clock
	Watch out world, FIRST is going to become mainstream!	Church	Elgin Clock
	Remember, FIRST is a great opportunity that will get you ahead in the long run but don't forget about the short run either.	ChrisMcK2186	Elgin Clock
	quick grab the epoxy we can rebuild him, make him stronger than before	amos229	Elgin Clock
	We should have a rule in CD, no sad booboo faces that make you want to cry...	JaneYoung	Elgin Clock
	A mentor doesn't have to win the WFA at a competition to know that they've inspired the team.	Laura 1547	Elgin Clock
	I remember seeing that hair do. It is what inspired me to become an MC one day.	Tetraman	Elgin Clock
	Who cares about the score? The score is just numbers on a board, the exciting part is watching the robots interact and seeing robots( and more importantly, people) do the impossible.	Herodotus	Elgin Clock
	If we can transform our culture to the point where girls swoon over guys as they pull their dremel off their belt and carve some speed holes in a smooth fluid motion, I think FIRST is half way to its goal. When we get the guys to swoon over the girls for their hot moves on the 5-axis, we have won.	EricVanWyk	Elgin Clock
	So I thought to myself "Man, I wish I was a part of a large technically minded community... oh... right..."	BordomBeThyName	Elgin Clock
	but yea. people have this perception of robots as like, the terminator. you don't have to be a super genius to do this stuff.	christina_omg	Elgin Clock
	FIRST was the best thing that accidentally happened to me.	Stephen Kowski	Elgin Clock
	We are all insane aren't we? I just want to build a robot now. :P	Lowfategg	Elgin Clock
