You just have to care enough to give it a try. Your mentors will appreciate the effort. |

I don't care if students, engineers, my aging grandmother, or a pack of monkeys builds the robot...as long as at least one student walks away inspired then the goal of FIRST has been reached. |

When everyone is exactly even, who do you look up to for ideas and inspiration? |

Instead of lowering a team's expectations, let's raise the amount of competitive resources available to them. ;) |

Dean: We encourage kids to learn about science, technology....
Colbert: And does that include creation science?
Dean: .... Well we teach kids to be very creative..... |

I used to think FIRST was about my learning experiences, but now that I'm out of high school and am a seasoned veteran of FIRST I've realized that this organization is about more than my own enjoyment, it's about the enjoyment of others. |

Remember FIRST is "For Inspiration" of all students. It is a little tough to inspire students you won't allow in. |

How the mentors of a team inspire their team is unimportant, as long as the team is inspired to do great things. We on 1824 believe in 'student designed, student built', but that does not mean that all teams should do as we do. For inspiration comes in many forms. |

overly agressive play, sudden torque gains, and signs of robot acne will cause immediate suspicion, and may be used as justification for a complete tear-down inspection |

Based on my experience coaching basketball and robotics, there is no doubt in my mind that if a sports coach receives $x then a robotics coach should, too. |
