lets get FIRST in every home around the world, and a robot in every school. |

Purpose over pimpness is a policy that we are trying to adhere to. |

Scoring ringers is going to be like dating. While a select few will master it with relative ease, the vast majority will need quite a bit of time to refine their skills to an acceptable level. |

The code won't compile if you violate the rules of the programming language...but English is more robust, it seems to work pretty well no matter how we engineering nerds mangle it! |

I am definitely not a battery or battery charging expert (far from it) but I do know enough to be dangerous (I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night)... |

Unfortunately our team missed out on a great opportunity to "learn from the pros" because we did student-centric things like insisting on having a student field coach. |

Hopefully LMFAO will cross paths with FRC71. They've been shufflin' since 2002. |

You move on because FIRST isn't about the penalty or the un-penalty or whose robot is agressive and who is timid. |

I owe it to the FIRST community and the awesome users of this site to keep working on this site and making it better. I will do so until someone from Chief Delphi pulls me away from it and tells me to stop. |

The ChiefDelphi forums are more than just a place for people to kill time and engage in some chit chat. |

Bottom line: hobbiests, hackers, and tinkerers can fiddle with something and make it work. Engineers are people who [b]engineer[/b] solutions to problems. |

Cooler robots = Impressed sponsors = More money for FIRST = Easier expansion = Easier culture change. Isn't this what we want? |

A great mentor guides without giving the answers, teaches through discovery, demonstrates without lecturing, provides support from backstage, observes without hovering, and leads by example. |

F.I.R.S.T. Troubleshooting Rule #1 - If you work on software, the problem is always with hardware. If you work with hardware, the problem is always with software ;) |

Just remember that you can get just as much inspiration from making a simple system's details work really well as you can from just making a complex system work... |

It is NOT possible to fail within FIRST.
It IS possible to fail within the competition (whatever your criteria for failure may be). |

When it comes to FIRST (you've all heard the cliche) -- we're all winners.
When it comes to the competition: to the engineering design challenge, we're NOT all winners -- some solutions are better than others. |

Screwing up is part of the game. Iterating, testing, and analyzing your failures separates the great from the average. |

Don't be in a rush to build a robot until you know what robot it is you need to build. |

It is easier than you'd think to get yourself crossed off a draft list. I advise my teams, "Be the team you'd want to partner with." |

I think that in general people should worry more about what they are doing, and less about what others are doing. That goes for a lot more than FIRST. |

If my counts are correct, during the official matches 141,077 points were scored, and a minimum of 28,746 frisbees were successfully shot into goals. All without a single decapitation, severed limb, or even one porpoise becoming accidentally entangled in the nets. |

So, we should have respect for each other regardless of whether we are building our robot with a Waterjet or a Hacksaw. Construction methods will vary widely, but honoring your competitors should be universal. |

Ken Leung is the most efficient sleeper I know. Standing up, at the scoring table, during the pig roast, whatever. That guy can sleep! |
