It's often not the code you are focused on that causes problems, but the code you dismiss out of hand as "unrelated". |

Back in MY day, we had full metal to metal contact. Not any of this wussy bumper stuff! |

I always viewed Gracious Professionalism as "I may not agree with you or even like you but we need to work together to solve this problem. So let's get to work!" |

They hit us, we hit them, it happens. Build your robots to take a hit and it doesn't matter. |

We had an autonomous bug last year . . . Funnily enough, this worked real well and other teams were asking us for this "feature." |

The toughest part about that Chairman's Award was the fact that someone was cutting onions in the stands near 558/on the field while it was being read out. At least that was the excuse I'm going to use ;) |

They showed me a new item and said "we don't know how to list this on the inventory." I took one look, started laughing and said "In my world that is called a game piece, aka, a tote." |

FIRST Championships event is not about winning, its about the experience, the atmosphere, the people and the sites, there are a lot of amazing things to see at The Championships. |

Enlighten a man who sometimes has difficulty understanding why others stray outside the box, when the box appears to be an optimized and elegant solution. |

At this point in build season, I'm thinking that whatever type we can get built and working is the best type, by far! |

FIRST isn't about money or robots... it is about people. Take care of that and the rest will follow. |

Push the envelope a little, but not too much. There's a difference between being on the cutting edge and being on the bleeding edge. |

As I told my friend Joe Johnson, just because you aren't around as much doesn't mean that you can just close the book on this chapter, instead - just keep a book marker in this place, so you can remember how to find your way back home - when the time is right.

teams that REALLY deserve to win will find ways to overcome a marginal officiating decision. Also, teams that REALLY deserved to win will try not to put themselves in that position. |

Legend has it that Brandon installs the server in a bulletproof case shortly before Kickoff. That way, when the server explodes, the damage to surrounding things is minimal. ;) |

Only think of Gracious Professionalism as a standard to work toward personally. Never use it as a gauge to point out someone else’s shortcomings.
