Nutritionally speaking I didn't get enough (MOE) green in my FIRST diet this year! |

I don't really have a problem with school, as long as it doesn't get in the way of learning. |

FIRST doesn't end after your last year within a team. It's never going to end. |

After assisting with the animation last year I realized how cool and useful Inventor was and I started flirting with it. Half a year later I think I have lost all possibility of ever having a girlfriend, and frankly I don't care because I would definately bare the child of this program. |

adulthood is overrated. people just give you wierd looks when you play with your transformers, nerf guns and lightsabres. |

Rules can be rewritten, problems can be fixed, but peoples' feelings are far from inanimate - they need more consideration than just being "corrected". |

Where before there was boredom and lack of understanding, suddenly I saw why competitions would be fun. Not to sound corny or anything, but it brought a side out of me that I used to never show people in public. I danced, cheered, screamed, and had a blast. |

No matter their age, no matter their generation, every mentor and student must be responsible for their actions, and for understand that compromise and maturity are the paths to team success. |

I think we can all remember, no matter our age, that we are always responsible for our own actions and reactions.

I believe everyone should give a modicum of repsect to each person they meet for the first time. After that it is up to them as to whether to give you a reason to increase that respect or detract from it. |

In my opinion, if it can light a fire in your heart to burn with passion, and you can maintain that fine line between passionate and crazy; then go for it. Power to Passion. |

I am a 2-3 year competition veteran, and a new member at chief delphi, and everyone here seems to be as nice as they are at the competition. Very gracious, you might say. |

You have not only joined a robotic competition, you will discover that you are becoming a member of a very large and wonderful family. The more years that you participate, the larger your FIRST family will become. |

This just goes to prove there was life before FIRST (but it wasn't as much fun!) |

That is why I think that the Chairman's Award is better. You can have a great robot and something weird happen to your alliance and you are out. If you have a great team and win the Chairman's Award you are in the Hall of Fame forever. |

The phrase "Gracious Professionalism" is being thrown around much too often to try to support anything and everything that a certain individual feels is unjust. |

Not everything has to be cashed in or has to have instant recognition. Sometimes being a part of a program of value and opportunity is enough. And, what you put into the program is what you get out of it. |

The way things generally work in cases like this is simple: if you know something, you can't say it. So keep in mind that if someone does say something, it usually means they don't know. |

To the best engineers, scientists, and thinkers, something that is "hard" isn't something to avoid; it is something that begs for us to prove that we can do it. STEM is built on the very idea of trying something, failing, and trying something different. |

Free time? You mean the time it takes the code to build? |

Do I think the bar is too high? I think impossible dreams and lofty goals are a key part of FIRST; the "top" being extremely far away only pushes people farther. |

It would be interesting to be able to take robots from multiple years and invent new games they can play together (Calvin Ball). |

What I want is to ultimately make it so that the programming is actually done before the robot is finished. Imagine that!
