Eription- the condition of shredding the eardrum from excessive cheering at robot competitions |

Surely, we've seen enough new and interesting implementations of technology in FIRST that we won't keep limiting our imagination to the tried and true. |

FIRST is not about a robot competition . . there just happens to be one at every FIRST event. |

If it reads MINUS voltage, the power is reversed (and this is bad). |

Code doesn't break. It reacts exactly the same time every time. When something new happens that never happened before, it's because the mechanicals, electricals or drivers gave the code some new stimulus that wasn't tested before. |

I was a rookie last year, I didn't expect much. Now I got a taste of what it is, I want more. |

I've always responded to the cries of, "robot!" with, "person!" I always get startled looks. It's fun. |

It's not about the robot. It's about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. |

Bottom line: I would suggest that you walk a mile in our shoes and volunteer to be an inspector at your next event... |

A couple of times during our matches, our HOSTBOT had a GAME PIECE right there ready to HANG, but the darn PEG dodged out of the way |

The entire season, when someone yelled "Robot" I would yell back "Human" and stand my ground. |

I still believe that if we are legitimately trying to make FRC be recognized as a real sport, then the GDC must treat it like one. |

When you tell any of your kids that winning isn't important, or isn't [I]that[/I] important, the flapping sound you hear is your credibility flying away. |

You don't have enough money, you're under-staffed, you're not quite sure what the customer wants, requirements change, and they want it yesterday. |

- Never use it as a gauge to point out someone else’s shortcomings. |

There are times when all of us - myself included - need a virtual *poink* to the back of the head and someone to say "wake up and stop behaving like a three-year-old." |

So why are we trying to go to Mars? It's because it's bigger, better, and bolder. Doing what nearly no other team can do, and defying all those who say it can't be done. That reward is a lot more than 9 points. |

Limits are imposed by both man and nature. Understanding those limits and attempting to push past them is the basis of creativity. |

And the only thing that can really measure that is when you look a kid in the eye, say "We've got a problem..." and you see them smiling, "Bring it on." |

I am a mentor now and I would be more proud of a National Chairmans Award which acknowledges my many years of service to the team and the community rather than a National Championship which acknowledges one great robot I helped build. |

I don't know how much of a safety factor chain manufacturers build into these ratings. I've got empirical evidence to demonstrate that it's not 5, however. |

You have accomplished and learned more in the past six weeks than...a majority of people in the country. Be proud of your machine. Don't kick it to the gutter. Stand behind it. Believe in it. Give it your all. Take pride in your robot. :) |

For example an iron block is very simple and very robust. Strap a control system on it and it will meet the requirements of being a FIRST robot. However, it sure doesn't do very much, nor is it innovative. |

But on the plus side, we can drive the robot with a DDR pad, which is crazy-stupid-cool. |

Yes, I have already determined that the device is capable of launching 2,160 Krispy Kreme donuts into the back seat of my Mustang with a vertical displacement of 65 feet, without cracking the sugary glaze on a single donut. |
