[In FIRST]...Arab and Israeli students speak on the same level, because they are alliance partners. |

I've heard of mentors who keep talking until they are blue in the face, but this is my first time actually seeing one. |

No matter what you do and how well you try to protect them, some people are just out there to be candidates for the Darwin Awards! |

It would be wise to consider the reasoning behind the statement rather than the statement itself. Sometimes they are right... other times their statement is incomplete... and other times they really do have no clue what they are talking about. |

On a team, saying "it's not my job" is simply not acceptable. |

When I judge a robot, the single most important factor to me is whether or not the robot is rigid. |

The major items of FIRST are still what they always were.....understand the game, build a reliable quality machine to play it, train you drivers to use it to its full potential. If you do these things, you can win with or without any specific machine feature. |

Being professional means doing things right. Being gracious means doing the right thing. They complement each other perfectly. But I think we should remember to use GP as a guide for our own behavior, not as a yardstick to measure others' shortcomings. |

I have always liked to see people get recognized for what they do, not people doing something to get recognized. |

Andy Baker is so awsome, that his presence alone at the competition caused the scoring system to crash....multiple times...at all 8 regionals. |

If the GDC doesn't want better teams to strap components on to other robots, they should design a game that doesn't require better teams to strap components on to other robots to win. |

Right now that dream is sealed behind a few milimeters of plastic for most teams. |

Maybe FIRST could get a sponsorship from Ikea, and we all could get flat-packed field parts with pictoral assembly instructions. And then all the parts could have funny names. |

Every match they would leave blue and red skid marks all over the carpet. It was like someone roadkilled a Smurf. |

After all, when any student is isolated because of a difference - because of race, gender, social beliefs, or ideological concepts - we all lose. |

At every event I've seen this year, there has been at least one robot that left a part on the field. Even some of the robots have decided they don't want to play and this year and made a break for it in autonomous! :yikes: |

Tell them your newfound passion for FIRST as a program, and let them know all you're doing is getting more involved to broaden your FIRST horizon |

After talking with the students on these teams I could see the light in their eyes. These were their robots! Inspired? That would be a definate YES! |

However, the best responses come with patience. It might be a couple of days before you get a good answer or it could be 10 minutes. |

Last I looked, FIRST wasn't an acronym for inspiration and recognition of robots. It was and is an acronym for inspiration and recognition of science and technology. |

To me, the changing rules are a big part of the fun. If the rules stayed the same year to year, robots would start to look the same. That would be boring. |
