I've always thought that what makes an average person exceptional is not their inability to make mistakes, but rather their ability to recognise, rectify, and learn from them. |

I think it will be very hard to find one aspect of FIRST which doesn't inspire us. |

Everyone here inspires each other and helps them out. That's why FIRST is amazing. |

Through 30 years of teaching I've heard the same refrain..."I love science, I love math but I can't stand my language classes".
Well enough is enough. Get over it. |

Chiefdelphi is a great resource for all of FIRST to use over the years and has grown into a community that has taken a life of it's own. |

If by hazardous you mean thinking about robots 24/7, waking up at 2am in the morning to jot some ideas down, completely losing your social life, and staring at a computer until your eyes hurt, then yeah! :D |

since when is not sleeping, caring more about the robot and such bad for you? If it is how come I didn't get the memo? :ahh: |

I guess what I am trying to say is that GP is inside all of us just waiting for a chance to escape. I am sure how the virus spread. I put the blame solely on the shoulders of Chief Delphi. |

Just because there is a limit, doesn't mean that they don't love you. |

When I was going down that one escalator that led to the field between the buildings and getting my first look at it, I felt like Dorothy walking into Oz. |

its pretty great when non FIRST friends go into your purse for chapstick or something and find a spike... |

Your team will be more of a team and not a group of students who are just building a robot. Instead of being in FIRST, you will be FIRST. |

Now really, who would want to try and go against Andy Baker? That's like trying to single-handedly outscore 25, 254, and your choice of triplet with a shopping cart. |

If you can't make them fit on the robot, then those features don't really add much value. |

...and part of being Graciously Professional is knowing what your job is and how to perform the duties of it accurately. |

Part of Gracious Professionalism is the Professional bit. Doesn't matter if you're a volunteer or a staff member, a failure of this level in the real world would result in getting fired. |

Engineering rules of thumb don't form the garbage that goes into the making of the robot. They take the garbage of the real world and turn it into more pure, if slightly diluted, data. |

This isn't an engineering fair and demonstration, it's FRC. Defense is part of the game. You can't expect a good FRC team to just sit there and get clobbered by a full-court shooter; they're going to engineer a solution to the problem. |

FIRST isn't a competition. It's a learning experience. Share the knowledge, and you'll learn more because there's bound to be someone who sees something about your project that even your own team didn't realize it can do. |

Well, we put it in the bag at 11:58 last night. Needless to say we had to pull guys off of it to put it in the bag. I hope we didn't miss somebody and bag him up too. - jimwick [more]
