There's nothing that you can do to please everyone. You have to figure out where you stand and hold your ground. |

I began to see myself as an independent person who was not only being inspired, but able to inspire others and strengthen the FIRST program as a whole. |

I wouldn't recommend using steel because it will eat up your weight budget pretty quickly. |

its kind of a bad idea to implement traction control when you have no traction in the first place. |

Overall... the secret is PROTOTYPING! Design is an iterative process. Do some basic design in your head. Build it. Test it. Improve it. Repeat until satisfied. |

The FIRST program is different. It has a different purpose. It isn't superficial, it's results are long term and lasting.
I hope that FIRST is still on message. |

I'm not overdosed, I'm not even addicted. I just choose to never, ever, ever leave FIRST. |

The Tekin's used to constantly suffer from spontaneous combustion, it was extremely frustrating how often they would go. |

“An opah?” I asked. “Yes,” my friend nodded.

But I appreciated the thoughts that the posters had shared. |

Can we just get over this inane lawyering of the rules and get back to building robots?

[Don't] celebrate mediocrity and want the losers to have an equal chance? Please. Work your butt off for six weeks, keep doing it until you have taught yourself how to be excellent, and go and instead of waiting for a handout. |

The question is like asking "Is it better to drive by looking at a map the whole time or by remembering where you want to go and watching the road instead?" |

My team heard another team describe the Championships as "10,000 kids jamming the Georgia Dome for 3 days…more nerds per square foot than a Star Trek convention…and more purposefully employed "
Is this true?, Because I don't think there could possibly be a more wonderful place on earth |

Those four stages will most likely be supplanted with the more aptly named phased approach: "Don't Panic", "Consider Panicing" and "Why havent we been panicing?" |

See, building a really great robot is just a pseudo challenge for the concept of the whole FIRST program. It is just a phony way to bring people together to reach one common goal. |

remember FIRST is just an extracuricular activity in which most of the work is technichan's work...what gets you into college are good grades and a good course load...as my mom always said, "getting good grades gives you the freedom to chose to be whatever you want and go wherever you want" |

Engineering is all about trade offs. You can design yor system to do A, B or C easily. Combining A abd C or A and B or B and C requires some effort. Combining A, B and C should be near impossible. |

Is that like jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, or legal brief? You know, an oxymoron? |
