A programmer's job is to write documentation that happens to compile.... :) |

I would much rather educate the audience than dumb-down the game. |

FIRST is doing a great job, it's me who needs to do the hard work now. |

The neat thing about regionals, is that they ARE big robot parties! |

...isn't that part of the point? For high schoolers to do things they "could not have" by themselves? |

...playing hard and impressing teams is way more valuable than trying to play god with the rankings. |

When I'm asked the question, "What is the most important computer language to learn to prepare me for a programming career?"; my answer is, "Your second one." |

...if the penalties were not significant and match-deciding then there would not be much incentive to pay attention to them, would there? |

I think Team 45 is cloning Andy. Anybody who has pitted next to them should agree that they are first class students running a first class team. |

We can't quite define FIRST according to past standards and traditions, because it is shaping the future and does not conform to today's model of sports. |

I personally hope they change the terrain of the playing field ... if only to "level" the playing field. |

Well, there goes my strategy of blowing out the opponent and then committing flagrant safety and sportsmanship violations to keep the margin close :D |

Ok, so you are going to use a robot to hold all of those rivets together? |

My code mentors once told me, "A good programmer can look at a library, decide he hates it, and code everything from scratch. An amazing programmer can look at a library, decide he hates it, but realize the time it will save him and learn to use it." |

It's your duty in FRC to your teammates and alliance partners to put the most competitive robot possible on the field. |

Every team should have a rule about not shouting "ROBOT!" when transporting a robot around the pits/arena. |

[on practice robots:] Twice the work and twice the practice building seem to equal twice the experience so far. |

It's not just well and good that students are being inspired, it's the whole dang point. |

I don't thinks shorts should be allowed in the pits. Remember to insulate all of your wires! |

I hope Dave doesn't see these. He'll want you to put in a banana and use it for a game clue. |

Without mentors, you wouldn't even be participating in FIRST. Your team wouldn't exist, and FIRST as a program wouldn't exist. If it did, it'd just be another form of a science fair. |

Since the dawn of man, martial artists have sought to master fighting styles that seamlessly blend the attributes of strength, power, quickness, grace, and speed. You've heard them all. The Tiger. The Crane. The Mantis. Now witness.......The Nerd. |

GP is a measurement that can only apply to yourself. To apply it to another is unfair to that person/group. |

The point of FIRST is not to create pretty robots. It's to teach kids about science, technology, and engineering. |

FIRST like life is what you make of it, if you would rather go through FIRST worrying about what other teams do to make their robots, then your destined for disappointment. if you go through FIRST making the most of it doing the best you and your team can then it doesn't matter what other teams do. |

There are a lot of great teams that impress me, but four that really stand out... Our team doesn't want to beat these teams, we want to be these teams. |

Throughout the "FIRST" experience we're all taught that if we try hard we'll achieve some level of success down the road; it hits everyone differently. |
