If FIRST makes a field invisible to the audience, I will buy every team a dozen Krispy Kremes. |

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 |

Its a good idea to learn to tame CAD monkeys. They're very useful. |

Perhaps we should just have signs put up that say "Please remove your head and tail before entering". |

Let it be noted in the annals of FIRST history that on this day the game design committee did NOT choose to change, clarify, explain, or interpret ANY PART of the 2010 Manual. |

FRC competitions are fun, people. If you honestly need a video game system to keep you interested, you're ignoring a tremendous experience. |

Arguing or defending is not how to accept feedback. Someone who shares their opinion cannot be wrong - their opinion is their opinion. |

That sounds like PONG. For you youngsters, that was the first video game available for the public to play. |

I for one think this kind of robot "love" is absolutely inappropriate for children and both teams should have been condemned for such graphic displays. |

I predict the champion drive teams at each event of the 2011 season will consist of vertebrates. |

They already tried that... But here is the thing: it wasn't a bunch of guys in white coats. It was 3 guys: 1 in denim, 1 with a pony-tail, and 1 with a bright colored shirt.... |

It keeps your minibot from being destroyed by Dean's chainsaw, which is a big competitive advantage in future matches. |

So yeah, everyone please remember that lathes are one of the most dangerous machine tools you'll encounter. And keep your hand on the chuck key whenever it's in the chuck. If you never let it go till it's out of the chuck, it's stupendously less likely to take flight. |

Let's see. There's the Dean of Students, the Dean of Admissions, The Dean of Engineering, and the Dean of Kamen? Sometimes known as the Denim Dean. |

I'm sure FIRST did the math. They always do the math. Just not math humans use. It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it. |

For example, you can make a car as safe as possible. It may get the highest safety ratings in it's class, but if you drive it off of a cliff there really isn't much you can do about that. |

Did you know that if a G7, G27, G28, and G20 occur in that order at the same time, then the referee will appear to be doing the "YMCA"? :) |

And then since this is GTR-W there's also maple syrup somewhere and the drive team says "Sooory." |

Once you get to college, remember that FRC is not your life anymore (or at least it doesn't have to be). Don't be afraid to try new things, and branch away from the things you swear by in high school |

Your team has a cave?!?!? OMG, how did you guys get that?!?! Do you have a cave sponsor? We tried talking to cave sponsors but none of them responded. You guys must be an elite team to have a cave. |
