Everyone together now, say 'thank you'. |

Just think of the deadline as your six week deadline for FIRST, just when you think you can't do it, you are amazed by what you can do. |

I'd say it is somewhat addicting. But I think that is a good thing. It proves that knowledge can be addicting. How cool is that? Now, if we could just get everyone addicted to knowledge, just think of what we can accomplish.:D |

I want my students to learn passion. I want them to care so much about what they are doing that they infect other people with it... be that FRC or anything else. |

I never wanted to be a teacher.
This was the year I learned that I am one. It turns out mentors are teachers. Oops. |

It is crucial to keep experience and keeping collected under pressure as high points that can't be measured in a test. |

Go figure that by teaching you end up learning a lot through the process. ;) |

That goal is going to commit suicide by the end of the regional........so many balls @_@... |

Just remember, FIRST isn't about the robot, just have fun, meet new people, and try to learn something new. Killing yourself with inhumane amounts of pressure just isn't fun for anyone.

I'm sure you can come up with something, with a bit of warped thought!
... and if not, warped thinking is what your team's Engineers are for! :) |

I give props to your programmers and programming mentors.

There can never be enough recognition of a job well done. We can never say enough Thank You's. We can never measure the impact that an inspirational teacher or mentor can make on a student because it's priceless. |

It's a club if you have a bunch of people who hang out and do nothing - It's a team if all you all work together and cooperate to win. |

I think that everyone should just take a step back and look at the whole picture, FIRST is a family, not an organization full of regions, we all try to help each other, not 'cause it benefits us, but because it's graciously proffesional. |

Welcome to CD! You'll find this is basically the coolest place on the internet. |

We can't turn off inspiration and recognition, development and learning with a switch. It is an on-going process. If it were not, there would be no need for CD except for 6 weeks out of the year.

On a side note... "Think outside the robot." - I kinda like that. I'll have to use that in a meeting someday.... |

You shouldn't have to apologize at all for wanting to have fun. This is supposed to be fun. You shouldn't gauge your level of enjoyment at the event based on your place in the standings. |

I said it was called FIRST Robotics and the coolest thing I'd seen that day was a 150lb robot balance with another one on a teeter-tooter and and then score basketballs from 30 feet away. |

assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the

My goal as a mentor is to make myself irrelevant. Is that possible? Probably not. But this is one place I am willing to aim stupidly high. |

In 2012, we built our best machine ever. Some visitors to our pit were visibly disappointed to find that our machine was a pile of extruded aluminum and urethane belting, just cleverly arranged and programmed. |

It's wrong to scuttle someone else's boat because you don't think it's seaworthy. You probably don't know that what you were seeing will be called a submarine. |

If you are content with where you are, you have celebrated the right things. If not, perhaps it is time to reconsider... what’s most important to you. |

The stated goals of FIRST are to inspire a culture that values science and technology. Inspiration needs Motivation. What motivates people? Competition. |

...your mentors are your friends. If you're not sure of something, they probably know the answer to it, and if they don't, they will point you to someone who does. |
