	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.	Jeremiah Johnson	Andy Baker
	Remember FIRST is "For Inspiration" of all students. It is a little tough to inspire students you won't allow in.	pafwl	Andy Baker

	Theres just something about a big honkin' robot that's irresistible.	seanwitte	Andy Baker
	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.	Daniel_LaFleur	Andy Baker
	We make ourselves better by lifting others and standing on their shoulders, not by knocking them down.	Taylor	Andy Baker
	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	dlavery	Andy Baker
	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.	dtengineering	Andy Baker
	Actually, I think the standard Klingon warning label ought to be sufficient: 'yIQIpQo' (don't be stupid)	Alan Anderson	Andy Baker

	You all have made me think about this in a new way - which I appreciate.	aaeamdar	Andy Baker
	In Dave We Trust :)	JohnBoucher	Andy Baker
	The discussion and helpfulness that goes on within this website is a great example of gracious professionalism.	andy.vangessel	Andy Baker
	I disagree with the "letting them fail" philosophy.	wireties	Andy Baker
	119.9999999 pounds...if only the programmers could make the code a bit lighter!	James1902	Andy Baker
	I'll guess those tie-dyed, numbered balls are used for alliance-partner lotto. :D	Richard Wallace	Andy Baker
	While FIRST's goal is to inspire young people, it will be much easier to do that if we also inspire all the older people as well.	E. Wood	Andy Baker
	Even as a "mentor", I am still being mentored by engineers who work with the team.	Tom Bottiglieri	Andy Baker
	Here on CD, we are all one big FIRST team, mentoring each other.	Joe G.	Andy Baker
	Mostly, however, I find that once the students start building a robotics project, they are too busy learning for me to teach.	dtengineering	Andy Baker
	It looks very simple to build, and I like simplicity.	Nick Lawrence	Andy Baker
	The greatest reward you can give your mentors is to become one.	Ed Sparks	Andy Baker
	User error is not the manufacturer's fault.	AdamHeard	Andy Baker
	It is critical to our continued growth and success to recognize, and to make others realize, THERE ARE NO OPPONENTS.	Taylor	Andy Baker
	my theory on the matter was always something along the lines of "Oh, we're all girls? What an odd thing for you to notice."	karinka13	Andy Baker
	Do not worry about the VEX camp versus FIRST camp issues. It is a huge marketplace. It is only about 4% penetrated. There is room for everyone. And competition is good for the consumer.	ebarker	Andy Baker
	Snow Blower Motor? Forget the water game, how about a snow game?	Gary Dillard	Andy Baker
	We need to start building FIRST competition arenas and leasing them in the off-season to the sports teams and conventions ;)	protoserge	Andy Baker
	To think that one can "learn" engineering in 6 weeks while under the strain of building a robot too is proposterous. FIRST isn't about teaching. It's about inspiring.	Collin Fultz	Andy A.
	I'm totally hooked on reffing now and will be volunteering in the future because of [Beach Blitz].	Ali Ahmed	Andrew_L
	In other words, don't worry about the results but strive for excellence in the way you live your life and everything you do.	Paul Copioli	Andrew Schreiber
	I hate that every year people turn this competition into whining rather than winning.	Akash Rastogi	Andrew Schreiber
	If people are getting offended at seeing other teams list their accomplishments, maybe they should spend less time whining and more time doing things to make their own team win.	artdutra04	Andrew Schreiber
	NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo!!!!! I hate regolith.	apalrd	Andrew Schreiber
	It's not about the numbers, it's what you can do with them.	AlecMataloni	Andrew Schreiber
	If chairs really inspired me that much I would be in woodcrafting club and not robotics	CJ_Elliott	Andrew Schreiber

	I was outvoted by conservative teenagers (curse them...).	Rick TYler	Andrew Blair

	(puts on his asbestos underwear, because these threads always get heated)	Billfred	andreboos
	A FIRST door is always open.	Chris Fultz	Amanda Morrison
