For me Gracious Professionalism is about helping other teams make their ideas work. We do everything we can to help other teams program, or lend them parts from our pit. On the field we play to win. |

FIRST is not about lowering the bar to those with the smallest expectations, but helping helping all teams exceed the standards set by the best. |

The fact that although many of us disagree on specifics of how FIRST should conduct events, design a game, and facilitate as much fairness between teams as possible, in the end we still greatly enjoy each other's passion for FIRST and provide genuine respect for each other

The robotics, strategics, and technology make up the higher wavelengths, the adrenaline of competition the midband, and the low frequencies that pull at the heart, well that's the people. |

...FIRST was created to change that world for the better. To presume that FIRST is simply here for your enjoyment is to demote it to nothing more than an expensive game... |

Competing at multiple regionals or Championship events has no bearing on the life lessons you will learn or the unbelievable memories you will have--for that is what FIRST is truly all about. |

Mentors may not be the direct focus of FIRST, but they are just as involved as students are. They play a pivotal role in the success of FIRST and of the success of every team. |

My father taught me long ago that how we respond to adversity is what defines us as human beings. Let's all keep this definition in mind as we move forward to change a culture. |

what is FIRST?...It's about innovation, hard work, inspiration, teaching, learning, experiment, strategy, competition, meeting new people, being inspired, aiming high and changing paradigms...Really, FIRST is what you make of it. |

P.S. - Don't eat spicy food before a match, or a marathon of matches like eliminations. It never ends well. Trust me. |

Maybe this is something we should put on the backs of our shirts: "beware - this person will stand up and cheer for other teams during FIRST award ceremonies". |

These awards aren't easy to get, and if a team deserves an award, they deserve to be cheered on for it. |
