I urge them to build the kitbot and repeateadly smash it into a concrete wall in order to sate their anger. It will soon wane when they manage to do more damage to the wall than to the kitbot. That is honestly the reason that we ended up using the kitframe this year. |

Ok maybe you cant stop them, but you can utilize that pretty flashing LED pretty darn well!

I never said there was anything wrong with the kit frame, simply that it was weak. |

There was no real separation between who did what. "we" did it all and it was fun. |

I don't resent or envy them for being strong teams; I hope we can continue to learn from them and someday join their ranks. |

The difference between a Tinkerer and an Engineer is that the Engineer will be able to tell you the results before you start. |

Just be yourself, be honest, and most importantly, be present. The best role models are the ones you can relate to. |

We also have a " big daddy" hand riveter. In my estimation one could have assembled the George Washington bridge with it. |

You definitely know you've overdosed on first when you wash the aluminum shavings off your hands AFTER you eat dinner. |

I personally think mentors should sit behind two-way mirrors and hold a kill switch for all power tools. ;) |

My puppy certainly thanks the many teams that handed out frisbees this year. |

The difference between a robotics kid and a generic nerd. Both use their calculators for statistical analysis. One keeps it a closely guarded secret, the other brags about it on Chief Delphi! |

If you build offensively, keep defense in mind always for defense will always keep you in mind. |

After it took us weeks to machine sideplates for our 8WD, seeing their simple yet effective drivetrain was a huge "forehead slap" moment. |

To find something they are so passionate about that it oozes into everything they do, and others can't help but want to follow them into this Counter-Culture where good is not good enough, Great is all they strive for. |

The Tesla came in the blue tote. This is why you should always inventory your KOP before the replacement window closes! :p |

Plot twist: I'm actually Dean Kamen, and I've seen so many water game suggestions that we're now considering it.

At least I can appreciate the humor in this LOLCODE; it isn't funny when our our robot goes backwards in hybrid mode |

FIRST is like pizza--you and I might prefer different toppings, but there's no wrong way to do it. |

Eliminate the scavenger hunt, stop updating the software every two seconds, and make sure your examples and tutorials work. That will help a majority of the people I feel. |

I thought of this at least a couple of years ago, but I didn't post because I didn't want to give Dave any fiendish ideas. He has enough without our help. |

Once again, the GDC is pure evil. (Dave, Aidan, and Bill get the "pure evil genius" rating which is slightly worse.) |

Then you might have a 1902 (oink oink BOOM) which could result in a 418 (Purple Haze). |

There are times when we talk as friends and joke around about things like this, but then the most important times are when he says "I'm telling you this as a mentor," no matter what it is, those moments mean a lot. |

So, FIRST is turning into the For the Inspiration of Science and Trains? That makes sense... Not a whole lot of re-branding will be needed.... |
