I decided I would keep coming and it just kept getting more and more fun. By the time build season started going I couldn't have quit if I wanted to ^_^ |

Someone tried throwing out a perfectly good fleece blanket! It even had the quadratic formula on it! WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU THROW AWAY THE QUADRATIC FORMULA?? |

The size, speed, and power of full sized FRC robots are much more sublime. People go to the zoo to see the lions and tigers, not the ants. |

If said device costs 10x more to manufacture than a simpler solution integrating COTS parts, and only performs 10% better, that's poor engineering. |

I like to divide checklists like this into "stuff I have to do before applying power" and "stuff I'll find faster by watching it fail". |

The moral of this story: A healthy respect for the customer, dedication to your job, and a positive outlook can make even the most trivial and monotonous job into a wonderful experience. |

With computers, every once in a while you see something that makes you think "I could have done this, why didn't I think of it? It would have made my life so much easier." Now is one of those times. |

We do a disservice as mentors if we simply complain. We must inspire our students by showing them how we rise to the challenge and solve the problems we face. |

It's never been about the robots. But the robots make an interesting misdirection that we all use. So its ALL about the robots. :rolleyes: |

You know you've been in FIRST way too long when you can remember all those hints... even down to exact wording... and only have to look up the most recent. |

They could release an update saying they were going to give every team free puppies and kittens, and many teams would vehemently complain this change was too late to budget dry kibbles into their budget. |

I want an inflatable playing field so 2 people can setup the competition in one hour at every event. I want it to fit in the back of my car.

If only more people could have the same attitude toward FIRST as they do toward their fellow teams!

Girls, if you are techy, great! If you're not, don't worry about it. We're all good at something and FIRST can show you what that is. Just remember, be true to WHO YOU ARE.

I don't think we should only be pointing at those with exceptional bots, but those that we consider a role model team in all aspects, not just in technical design |

You people are weird... Now if you'll excuse me, I have some code to debug and I need to figure out where to get tank tracks. |

At a much more pragmatic level, organization is what seperates a team full people with really cool unrealized dreams and a team that is trying to figure out it's alliance picks. |

You could mount a small Black Hole on the top of your bot, and park it in front of the center goal - that would work...just keep your human player away from the event horizon. |

I wouldn't mind having this day repeat itself a few times. It would give us more time to work on our robot. |

More to the point, stop worrying about whether your "Atlanta bot" got screwed over or whatever. Worry about whether you've got an "Atlanta team."

Yeah After we decided not to do autonomous, the robot took matters into it's own hand.
i'd bet it would get it's self DQ'd... or an award. |

instead of complaining, suck it up, think a little harder, and make the most of what you do have. |

If Will uses the word "dope", doesn't wear a larger FIRST logo, takes up half of the St. Louis arena, if there was not enough seating in the pits, if the music was killed during finals, it was all justified tonight. |
