Not only does Dave like to post hints about the the new game...but now he's starting to post hints about the activities of the Mars rover. Does it ever stop?! |

Think outside the bot.
Find a different regional someplace you never considered before. There's plenty of them. |

dont be afraid of new technology. embrace it and experment with it figure out the problems on the way and then tell us about it so it gets easier. |

I have always been of the opinion that if the mechanicals are making noise they are trying to talk to you. |

..the way we see it FIRST isn't about winning a robot contest, its about trying your best to complete a really really hard task in a really really short amount of time. |

I feel that I learned more last year than any previous year because of the challenges we faced. |

I always tell newbies that if you build a great team the great robots will follow.

(Don't ask why a retired FIRSTer is on CD, it's a twelve step process kind of thing) |

we need a diverse team, and until we can welcome someone that's not a nerd, I don't think we're really successful in our recruiting. |

Every year, everyone reads too much into the hints given by Dave. |

I have no clue. All I know is that every year the riddle in the clue has confused me but this year it is the lack of confusion that confuses me. |

Truly good teasers should give people a good place to start guessing, while still leaving some mystery and uncertainty. |

.. if everybody else is buying all the thingamabobs so they can practice shoving balls into the whatsit. Maybe what you really want is to buy thingys so you can build a practice whojidingle. Being the only whojidingle robot can be a real advantage come alliance picking time ... |

The robot can inflate the ringer. How cool is that? |

To have respect for the process you are in right now, respect the knowledge around you by using it to your full advantage. |

Until we learn to celebrate our differences with great vigor in an earnest way, we won't accomplish what we're supposed to get done. |

The thrills of a heroic repair, a well deserved award, a compliment on our efforts, the growth of our team members, making new friends.... These can make a memorable and exciting FIRST regional as much as a close match. |
Mark Pierce |

we came together, worked our butts off, and eventually looked at failure and decided....its just not our style. |

One of the cultural concepts that has emerged from the teams participating in FIRST is that ideas are worth sharing. |

The urge to compete tends to drive teams to hold the ideas close during the competition season, but the urge to contribute means they get publicized afterwards. |

Off-season events aren't just for gameplay, they should also be a training session for new students and rookie teams. |

I've had parents tell me I'm a great role model for their daughters, because I was a female leader. It's a great feeling to hear something like that. |

We also had a couple of student leaders emerge from this offseason Rumble, which can do nothing but help the team in the upcoming FRC season. |

Have you ever found yourself staring at a physics problem, not understanding it, then connected it to a past FRC game and suddenly felt the light bulb start shining? |

when answering a question you throw out other teams names (thunder chickens and killer bees)...and a distinguished guest raises his hand and asks if he heard right when I said thunder chickens and asks for an explanation of what a thunder chicken is. |

But no matter how you place, the thing to watch for is the character change in the team members. The trophies are only important for a few hours. The character that is built will last a lifetime. |

it's much easier to build safety in to a system than to add it on a Thursday at a regional. |

You can usually pick out the kids who will grow up to be engineers. They're the ones tearing apart their nintendo, their vcr, their minibike, and their parents' cars. |

Part of FRC and design/engineering is perseverance. Keep your chin up, your thoughts positive, and have respect for your work and the work of your teammates. |

..this is the first robot we've built that succeeded at everything we wanted it to. It was simple. It was low maintenance. It scored effectively. It had an autonomous that worked. Its look caught attention. And it was finished on schedule. |

A solution will present itself, all you have to do is be ready to take advantage of it when it does. |

If you do mentor FIRST, be an asset to your team, but know that your students will admire you all the more if you set an example and finish your own homework. |
