Yes, this year's championships could be decided by cheesecake. |

The best we can all do for our kids as parents, mentors and world citizens, is to model [Gracious Professionalism] always: not to win an award, but because it is the right thing to do. |

They are "Human Dream and Inspiration Enablement Devices" but since that takes too long to say and explain I use the word "robot". |

If I'm going to mentor someone, I'm going to be involved in their life as a positive force. |

I'd also like to apologize to any of the teams whose robots we may have broken. |

It is impossible to be grumpy about anything when eating biscotti made by one's beautiful wife, drinking tea sweetened by one's own honey, warmed by a wood stove, and with a dog asleep on one's foot. Simply impossible. |

KISS does not mean that your goals and capabilities are "simple", it means that the way you achieve them is simple. |

Just because something has never been done, doesn't mean it's impossible. See: everything ever. |

I bet if anyone took a look at the 118's Bill of Materials the only thing that would be on there is hard work and that's priceless. |

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the robot is never truly finished. |

After all, if matches were determined by the numbers, we wouldn't need to have competitions. |

Our robot throws custom $5.50 FIRST Frisbees at a rate of 75 discs per minute and a speed of ~32 feet per second.
It costs over $80 to feed our robot for 12 seconds. |

"But from a real life standpoint, that looks like something the evil villains in a superhero movie would use to get around in"
Reading the phrases "real life" and "evil villains in a superhero movie" in the same sentence makes me giggle. |

FIRST is the best thing that has ever happened to me...FIRST has taught me so much more than anything I learned in the classroom. The thing with my team, is we are so close, we are family, and I have figured out so much about who I am because of FIRST. |

Like a typical sport or game played, students and other teams should want to beat the team on the field and not anywhere else |

Any adult can open a door. Some can give direction. A few can give leadership. These are the true mentors. This is where true success comes from. |

I see people show up to a competition with their masterpiece, and proud of it. They are inspired by what they have accomplished. To make it onto the field is a high-it is the culmination of the thousands of hours of dedication compromises and commitment. They feel on top of the world. That's FIRST. |

I will gladly be pied if that's something you guys want. I know I have people from the Clarkson FIRST dorm floor who will shell out PLENTY of cash for the chance to pie me in the face! |

So we are able to run a very competitive and active robotics program. Sustainability, alas, is a month-to-month issue for us and is dictated by the space situation. This is okay today. Tomorrow could be different. We live like this. |

FIRST is the most glorious test of the mind. Anyone can run a marathon or get a slam-dunk. It takes guts to admit you are a nerd that enjoys six weeks off non-stop stress, and actually thrives on it. |

FIRST games are complex and rely on design and intellectual capability much more than the average sport. |
