The only thing I am learning from this thread is the difference between who is arrogant enough to objectify their own interpretations and who is wise enough to question their own interpretations. |

We live for those eureka moments. Whether we win or lose competitions, it's those moments when a student's idea makes something just "click" that will stick with them and influence them to become engineers. |

We may not build the best robots but we're building better students in the long run and means much much more. |

Never leave future engineers alone, especially with something like gravity. |

FIRST is the only sort of competition that I've seen where somebody can win and the opponents can be genuinely happy for them. |

And who is to say what is the mean? Do I mean the mean? Or even the average? Or am I just being mean (or average, which could be my mean)? |

A wise man told me a few nights ago, that it is important to own up to all your mistakes, so that others can see you doing that and wont deny and try to hide their own. |

In the 2010 game, FRC and FVC robots will be working together to cut Dave's hair, mow his lawn, and serve him dinner. ;) |

For me, this is the most powerful message of FIRST, that people can come together and work together to achieve so much, and leave old rivalries, grudges, and hard feelings behind. When people talk about culture change, this is what I hope for. |

Advances in STEM are meant to benefit everyone, so even the most basic-level of understanding deserves to be validated and encouraged. |

Who knew there were this many FRC teams that are teams! Very impressive, I might add. |

Strategy is rarely static, and how you design your robot isn't always the best way to win the game. |

Half your robot could be broken, some drive chains snapped, a drive motor burned out, etc... and your WCD will still be trucking. |

I continue in FIRST because I'm not looked down upon for not knowing how to do something, but held up because I want to learn. |

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we have to displace objects and/or robots in order to score points. |

I found the best way to slice through pit crowds is to carry a clipboard and look like you know where you are going. People just seem to slide out of your way. :) |

Build season is the best time of the year. Better than Christmas because the presents are cooler, and better than new years cause you get to stay up later. |

Of course, someone who can score on all rack levels while hovering autononmously 12 inches off the floor in his own home zone could probably have posted on CD while winning a regional.;) |
