Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, and cut it with an axe. This is not an exact science. |

ALL technology is run on 'Magic Smoke' contained within the device. As everyone knows, whenever the magic smoke is released, the device ceases to function. |

You only really ever need 2 things in your tool box: A Hammer to separate things that shouldn't be together, and Duct Tape to put things together that shouldn't be apart. |

Duct tape is like the Force - it has a dark side and a light side and it holds the universe together. |

You can either spend lots of energy complaining about it and whining or you can try to figure out how to make a positive experience from the whole thing. |

This 6 weeks of work, sweat, thinking, designing, building, talking, discussing, turning wrenches, wiring, programming, drawing on chalk boards, eating pizza, drinking mountain dew, with the students - is what the FIRST experience is really about. |

FIRST is aimed at those girls on your team. They don't know anything about mechanics, or electricity, or programming, or machining. They have no interest in it, either. They're perfect candidates for FIRST. |

Backstabbing your opponents at the last second will not help you win friends and word will get around pretty quick. Your team will be shunned and distrusted for years. People have long memories, and some of us mentors have been playing this game since you kids were playing with blocks. |

Analysis is a tool. Like any other tool you need to figure out where and when to use it. That's the tricky part. |

FIRST is similar to real life in that nothing is perfect and you have to deal with the circumstances as they arise and make the best of it! |

The game objectives are still the same, get boxes into your scoring zone, stack approximately half of them, run for the top of the ramp.
So lets sit down, shut up, and start building robots. |
