Do it the good ol' American way and throw money at the problem. In other words, get out of there and call a professional to take care of it.

So... the question is this:
Does Grady keep his stuffed animals on his Barbie House for playtime, or in his bed to help him go sleepy-pie at night-night time? |

You want to be treated like a professional, so you need to continue to act like one even if the odds are against you. |

A Mentor is.. A person you can talk to anything about and trust them to not throw it back in your face in any way shape or form and who will help you as much as they can to deal with the problems and situations in life... |

in FIRST it's not just about where you finish in the standings but the intangible of inspiration where there is no true or immediate forum of measurement. |

I've always believed that being who I was will not limit me to who I will be. That's what keeps me trying to learn more and become a better person. Otherwise I would've settled being someone ordinary and not care about anything around my life. |

Some of the most talented people in the world are designing robots in FIRST. If that were taken away, all of us would be poorer for it. |

It is not for any other team to say what is beyond a person's or a team's capabilities. That's why they have mentors :-) |

Don’t choose to aim for the stars because they mark the peak of our abilities, don’t choose to aim for the stars because it is easy, choose to aim for the stars because it shows the depth of our potential; choose to aim for the stars because it is hard! |

The competition is about MUCH more than just the robot. If kids are glued to the robot all of the time, then they miss the rest of it... the other fun stuff, what makes FIRST, FIRST. |

We have donut eating contests to see who has the best legs. We paint our pigs. We argue about which time zone we are in. About 400,000 of us gather together to watch cars go around in a circle. We also build robots.Yep, our cultural norm is a bit different. |

The biggest fallacy in FIRST is the belief we are just a bunch of different teams. We are ONE BIG TEAM with a lot of sub teams for the purpose of competition. |

Our job as mentors isn't to teach them how to make a robot...It's to teach them that there is value in technology and being among the people who create it. |

The point is that while having the abiltity to find information in a variety of reference sources is a useful skill, it does not replace a good, complete, fundamental knowledge of your subject material. |

If mentors don't respect the students' desire to learn and take an active role in the construction, they're missing the point of FIRST. If students refuse to accept the knowledge and experience of the mentors, that's not independence - it's arrogance. |

It's about compressing life into 6 weeks. It's about doing. It's about learning to fail. It's about gracious professionalism. It's about releasing the limitations that we all put on ourselves. It's about thinking outside of the box. It's about growing. |

Quality has nothing to do with desire – you can’t wish quality. Quality has nothing to do with time, or money, or the other guy’s attitude. Quality has everything to do with craftsmanship. |

Legend has it that Brandon installs the server in a bulletproof case shortly before Kickoff. That way, when the server explodes, the damage to surrounding things is minimal. |
