It doesn't matter if you write a thousand lines of code for a robot, if you didn't teach and/or inspire the HS students as you did it then you are not a mentor. |

We need to find the female engineering mentors in FIRST and start having them present/co-present technical conferences at the championships. We need to start showing the girls on the teams that there are female engineering "rock stars" to look up to. |

This special is supposed to promote science, not convert the world to gracious professionalism (though that wouldn't be such a bad idea). |

118 embodies everything this entire program is supposed to be about: INSPIRATION. Respect that. Acknowledge that. Support that. |

I find it ironic how the game "Recycle Rush" can create so much waste. |

There is a problem getting girls interested in STEM. Swift, immediate action is required. Continuing to stay the course leads to disaster. |

To think that the seminal work on the FRC experience is about the least favorite game of all time, being played by a team that no longer exists, is either the height of insanity or a master stroke of inspiration. |

The reason I care about it is that I don't want minorities (whether that's females or other racial minorities) to see the STEM world as only inclusive of majorities or men. |

I thought of this at least a couple of years ago, but I didn't post because I didn't want to give Dave any fiendish ideas. He has enough without our help. |

Once again, the GDC is pure evil. (Dave, Aidan, and Bill get the "pure evil genius" rating which is slightly worse.) |

Then you might have a 1902 (oink oink BOOM) which could result in a 418 (Purple Haze). |

There are times when we talk as friends and joke around about things like this, but then the most important times are when he says "I'm telling you this as a mentor," no matter what it is, those moments mean a lot. |

So, FIRST is turning into the For the Inspiration of Science and Trains? That makes sense... Not a whole lot of re-branding will be needed.... |

With any dollar amount to invest I would be more interested in the number of individuals (students is too narrow) impacted than the number of teams created--after all, this is about people. |

Each team is different, your mileage may vary. What works for your team does NOT necessarily mean it will work for others. |

I think Dave has been spending time on icanhascheezburger. Either that or the fumes from his rendering machines have affected the grammar control portion of his brain. |

What if, each alliance has a pile of AndyMark equipment in front of them. They then have 2:00 minutes to assemble said equipment, and build a working robot that will race to the other side and grab the other alliance's flag. |

Just a modest request for folks NOT to put 3000-pixel-wide pictures inline in the forum. A link to the big picture works just as well while keeping the text readable. Thanks. |

Everyone who has posted on this thread has brought about a lot of different ideas to the plate. Before it was just a simple 1 course meal in my mind. But when you post something on CD with tons of engineers and engineers in the making, your bound to have a feast!! |

Students can learn to drive on whatever they give us. Ramps, carpet, grating, HDPE, lexan, diamond plate, regolith, other robots the driver station wall, referees, stairs, Dean, the bar, goals, the scorer's table, you name it, I've watched robots somehow manage to drive on it |
