YES! I am a MENTOR. Not a chaperone. I am busy all day, I don't want to deal with the stupidity that may or may not go on at night. Besides, I might see something as a cool physics experiment, where a chaperone might see someone dropping pop cans down the stair wells. |

Why is it whenever you tell someone there is a million billion stars in the universe they believe you, but if you tell someone that the bench over yonder has wet paint, or if usfirst.org comes up as the 1st result in Google people have to try it for themselves?

OUR CNC machine is named Joe, and he has this week of school off. He eats candy instead of electricity. Not so accurate or repeatable, but very easy to re-program. |

A true form of GP would be to send out a congratulations to all the teams that made it, regardless of whether or not you think they should have. |

Now there is something I am going to suggest to my team...."testing before ship (bag)"....on second thought, maybe I'll just ref! |

Give yourself the best chance to win at the event you're at by picking the best possible alliance partners available - always. |

We know that the real goal of FIRST is not for this robot to win, but that we learn something. If i was on robotics to win, it wouldn't be nearly as fun. |

In the long run, you don't remember your ranking points, you remember the lessons and friendships from when you were on a robotics team in high school. |

and that would be ba-ad,

It doesn't seem hard, but it is. You can do it with enough time, dedication, and skill, but that doesn't stop it from being hard. |

Being a mentor doesn't have an age requirement. As long as you are positively influencing someone you could be called a mentor and a role model. |

We have a little saying on our team.

Well I have to admit, most of the people on our team are geeks. I think that it's a title of honor considering it might as well be "boss" or "head supervisor" or something along those lines. |

If you have time at a competition, stop and thank some of the people wearing the crew shirts. They are working very hard to make sure the competition goes as smoothly as possible. |

week 7: check to see if the pets are still alive, ask significant others to take us back, do 6 weeks worth of make-up homework, and ask my boss for another extension. |

Our robot-in-progress got set on the scale yesterday, It came to about 115 pounds. Then I walked up and took out the battery, and everyone relaxed some. |

*Teams. The competitors, who wear brightly colored shirts, scream like crazy, and bring robots. Without them, there would be no competition. |

They knew that the number of gracious, professional, make-your-grandmother-so-proud-she-will-puke moments of exemplary behavior by the teams would far outshine any minor mistakes or incidents of less-than-perfect decorum. |
