Also you NEVER need to apologize for asking questions. Asking questions is how you learn. |

However, the skill of calculating things by hand and sketching by hand is something that we should continue to teach the youth (until my netbook can run Inventor :D) |

While there are reasons to keep a float charge on your batteries, it may be like giving your son a flu shot when he has the measles. |

Probably planning on milling the bumpers out of solid pool noodle stock, too. Ever wonder how they drill that hole down the middle of pool noodles? ;) |

Just put it in the dryer for a few extra cycles. That should shrink it down nice and small. |

One of the Minbot inspectors at LA asked me how much a switch had to weight before it stopped being a "light" switch and started being a "heavy" switch. |

We have a lot of rookies, and I can't wait to see the inspiration on their faces. |

Every single team in FRC has had a rookie season. All those... have stories. Some are sad, some are funny, some are inspiring - but all the teams have stories to be told... Each year is a chapter in the team's history book with stories to be told and shared. |

I got to talk with Mr. Flowers briefly last year. I told him that I had wanted to be part of FIRST since about 1980. It was nearly a quarter-century later when my son entered high school and I joined the TechnoKats as a mentor. |

The big lesson we learned ... our past does not limit our future, that superior attitude will beat out big budgets. |

This forum is a really great tool to get people connected to the rest of FIRST communities, as well as a great place to learn from other people and share a little part of yourself. |

To limit FIRST to robots, tools, and competition is to strip away its immense potential. |

The teams that do the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing, and for believing in the message of FIRST deserve to be recognized. |

Success to me is a feeling that is associated with achieving something you truly worked hard for; something that you can look at and say "That's my best work." |

Why aren't the kids who sit alongside the sidelines and observe as valued? Why are they looked upon as leeches, in it for a trip? |

Those kids are different! They seem more mature, respectful, and intelligent than most adults. They can actually think instead of just spitting out facts. They are obviously getting a real education. |

But he who has deeper insight realizes that concepts and ideas canot be contained in even the largest jar, bucket or box. You cannot touch or see these things, but you can be enhanced with knowledge and experience of them. |

I think being successful in FIRST is creating an environment where people can grow, learn, change, and recreate... It's about making an environment where kids feel they can be successful... in whatever discipline they choose. |

Success isn't from winning nationals but from improving as a person or as team. Putting the minds together in order to get the job done is success. |

FIRST is like a big roller coaster, that can only be experianced if one takes a ride which can become a liftime experiance. |

Success is the indescribable feeling you get when you see something you worked so hard on in front of thousands of people. |

I think with so many facets of FIRST, success comes from learning the true meaning of teamwork through working towards a common goal. |

We are different, but in our differences we help the world continue to grow, change, become inspired. Different is NOT bad. Be true to your self, be weird, be dorky, be crazy, be a geek. :) |

FIRST is kind of like charity work... you are, even if only in some small way, helping our future just a little bit, and you get a great feeling from it. Even if you are just ringing a bell (or clapping MOE sticks together), you're helping. |
