The game is as much a competition of strategies as it is of robots. There is never any one "best strategy."
If teams choose to use this as their strategy, find one that will beat them. |

If your robot doesn't work, it doesn't matter, because the robot is really meaningless, in the long run. What is the important thing, the reason we're all in FIRST then? To better our understanding of Science and Technology, and hopefully make the world a better place. |

I propose, these forums are not a competition. There is no race to prove a point, to prove you are right, to prove you are wrong. |

FIRST is an amazing combination of principles that, when applied to the world, has had a monstrous effect on the way High School students learn, think, and relate to others. |

Why is it considered shameful to do the smart thing? As the saying goes, "I don't make the rules, I just live by them."

Remember that starting a team is ALOT of work, but it’s a lot of fun once it gets going. Its all about the students, so don’t get too carried away ;) |

There's a balance to it all, when the engineers guide the students, and both cooperate to build a robot. There can be no better way then when both sides are in cooperation - the true spirit of FIRST. |

Gracious professionalism is competing with a team one minute, and helping them fix their robot the next. It is cheering for FIRST, rather than just your team, and most importantly: it is looking at the future and saying, "Together, we can do that" |

Bottom line is I love FIRST and what it stand for. Hold nationals in a corn field on old crates and I'll support it!
If the FIRST staff is reading, Thank you for all the hard work you do! |

It is amazing how much a person's participation in FIRST can shape his/her character. |

I think another really awsome thing about FIRST can be summed up by what Dan, the Wildstang operator, said when they won nats: "I built that!" I mean, the feeling of satisfaction you get knowing that something you created can perform such unbelievable tasks is amazing. |

Students design and build it, the engineers/mentors are there to guide us when we stray off the path. A great way to learn, a great way to mentor, a great way to grow. |

As engineers we should aspire to create, not destroy. If this is the case, why would we want to create machines with the sole purpose to destroy?
