I think that if you're using semantics to pass inspection you're trying hard to be lazy (Trust me I'm really good at doing it). |

I, for one, am perfect and therefore make no mistakes.

Eliminate the scavenger hunt, stop updating the software every two seconds, and make sure your examples and tutorials work. That will help a majority of the people I feel. |

FIRST is like pizza--you and I might prefer different toppings, but there's no wrong way to do it. |

At least I can appreciate the humor in this LOLCODE; it isn't funny when our our robot goes backwards in hybrid mode |

The Tesla came in the blue tote. This is why you should always inventory your KOP before the replacement window closes! :p |

Plot twist: I'm actually Dean Kamen, and I've seen so many water game suggestions that we're now considering it.

If you build offensively, keep defense in mind always for defense will always keep you in mind. |

After it took us weeks to machine sideplates for our 8WD, seeing their simple yet effective drivetrain was a huge "forehead slap" moment. |

To find something they are so passionate about that it oozes into everything they do, and others can't help but want to follow them into this Counter-Culture where good is not good enough, Great is all they strive for. |

We also have a " big daddy" hand riveter. In my estimation one could have assembled the George Washington bridge with it. |

You definitely know you've overdosed on first when you wash the aluminum shavings off your hands AFTER you eat dinner. |

I personally think mentors should sit behind two-way mirrors and hold a kill switch for all power tools. ;) |

The difference between a robotics kid and a generic nerd. Both use their calculators for statistical analysis. One keeps it a closely guarded secret, the other brags about it on Chief Delphi! |

This is why I love this game. It's like high speed chess with flashing lights and lots of noise. |

COMPETE like crazy for the 2 minutes you are on the field,
COOPERATE like crazy all the rest of the time.
When we play this way, we all win. |

The sign of a mature community is not that everyone is nice and happy but that differring opinions can be expressed.

I urge them to build the kitbot and repeateadly smash it into a concrete wall in order to sate their anger. It will soon wane when they manage to do more damage to the wall than to the kitbot. That is honestly the reason that we ended up using the kitframe this year. |

I never said there was anything wrong with the kit frame, simply that it was weak. |

I don't resent or envy them for being strong teams; I hope we can continue to learn from them and someday join their ranks. |
