I think we have officially reached the stage of having too much time on our hands. |

A big bowl of popcorn and FIRST. It doesn't get much better than that. |

I was surprised how easily Mike hoisted me off the ground. I'm nearly 250 pounds and he lifted me up like I was a soccer ball! :ahh: |

While Grace will carry you through good times and victory, Professionalism will carry you through hard times and defeat. |

Finally, I would like to thank my wife (I hope she remembers me.) To all the FIRST widows out there, THANK YOU! |

For every hour you spend screwing pieces of your robot together, 20 hours of important stuff goes on behind your back. |

Canadian teams would definitely be able to give some of the "big boys" a run for their money. Despite the fact that their money is worth more than ours... =) |

Brandon, can you make some sort of mind-reading device that i can just think "portal" and i'll go back? |

Like a moth to a flame, true FIRSTers are attracted by the Victor instead of the Banner. |

When I saw the title of this thread ("Reverse Robotics"), I thought "what, you get six weeks to take apart a robot or something??" |

So, apparently I have my own division in nationals going by the search, "elgin clock division". Why was I not told about this? jeesh... |

If the world was like ChiefDelphi, people would be more eager to help out, offer advice and encourage each other to better things... not a bad world, that. |

They see us come into school looking like zombies, and they know that some people start smelling like chain lube and such...but for the most part, they don't realize that for a lot of us, there is a deep commitment to our team that we do a very large amount of work for that team. |

Imagine the pressure on Dave Lavery - every time he sneezes someone assumes it's a game hint. |

This isn't about practical, it's about having fun and thinking outside the box... tetrahedron.... whatever....:rolleyes: |

At this point (after shipping the robot), I'm really looking forward to doing laundry, eating a square meal, and getting to bed at a reasonable hour. |

I think I speak to everyone who ever attended nationals there when I say...say it with me..."Please stand clear of the doors. Por Favor Metengan se alijados de las puertas." |

Thanks everyone for being so positive- this just reaffirms why I love F.I.R.S.T. and volunteer my time to this program and the awesome students involved! |

It certainly shows to never give up, even if all you can do is score a single tetra. |

Any FIRST pit is my favorite because that means I'm enjoying a FIRST competition so I'm just plain happy anyways. |

All I know is I have fun building a robot, and I have fun competing with it. If I get an award, I'm happy. If I don't, then too bad. Either way, I'm coming back next year. |

Once this competition is over, we should donate all of these Poof balls to daycares, elementary schools, neighbors; all the little kids. It would make us look good like, "Here's our Toys for Toddlers gift from us upstanding citizens. And we build robots." |

I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. |
