Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but you don't know why. On our team, theory and practice comes together. Nothing works and nobody knows why. |

Stand scouting allows you to get to know the robot.
Pit scouting allows you to get to know the team. |

The first team that uses a lawyer to interpret the rules should be disqualified from all competitions, just on general principles. |

If I run into some of your team's student coaches/drivers on the field of battle someday, I still might ask 'em what they're doing after high school. :) |

They had a well made scouting form on the bottom was a check box with nothing next to it, when asked what the box was for they said.
"Oh thats the jerk box"
Since then one of our team goals is "Stay out of the jerk box" |

Part of FRC is to introduce you to how engineering is in real life: you can't use a redo card if you're landing something on the moon. |

One of these years, the game piece will be an actual red herring. |

To me, as a student, it doesn't really matter how old the RoboCoach is. My only concern is that they don't get ape-crazy when the game starts. |

Dear Mr. Lavery,
Congratulations. For the fourth year running, you have successfully ruined my Christmas holiday with your untimely release of a most obfuscating, but no less tantalizing, hint. |

Now stop reading CD, do your homework, eat your peas, brush your teeth, and go to bed. Any time you spend speculating as to what Dave's ravings might mean is completely wasted. |

The 2008 team is not the 2007 team and won't be the 2009 team. Every year is a new year and a new opportunity for growth and development as a FIRST team. It's very cool. |

P.S. While I doubt Karthik's "Delgado" jersey would go for $500,000... it would be much cooler to see Carlos Degado wearing a "Kanagasabapathy" jersey. THAT I might pay for! |

Do you know how, say, Native American cultures were kept? They had storytellers, sages, and the like. They passed on their legends and culture to the next generation. So will we. |

Having someone with as much mainstream appeal as will.i.am is a great strategy to draw large amounts of attention to a program that has been relatively hidden to the masses. |

It shows more than anything, that there are students out there that want to learn, to do better, to improve their own lives and those around them. Thankfully, FIRST is there to help them realize some of their goals. |

First of all, please remember that while we often focus on winning the Chairman's Award, that it is the effort to win that matters. No one "loses" RCA... if you've worked your butt off all year in the spirit of the award, then you've already won before you even get to the regional. |

Namaste. Maybe we all one day will spend our energy trying to raise our own level to match that of the competition rather than trying to tear others down. |

The only constant in FRC is change. Learning to adapt to change in competition is the best way to prepare for change in real life. |

Whether we realize it or not, we've all been touched by the works of Dr. Kamen - through his TED talks, through his research and scores of publications in pediatric oncology, or perhaps more directly through his daughter. What an incredible life, what an incredible legacy. |
