They see us come into school looking like zombies, and they know that some people start smelling like chain lube and such...but for the most part, they don't realize that for a lot of us, there is a deep commitment to our team that we do a very large amount of work for that team. |

Imagine the pressure on Dave Lavery - every time he sneezes someone assumes it's a game hint. |

This isn't about practical, it's about having fun and thinking outside the box... tetrahedron.... whatever....:rolleyes: |

At this point (after shipping the robot), I'm really looking forward to doing laundry, eating a square meal, and getting to bed at a reasonable hour. |

I think I speak to everyone who ever attended nationals there when I say...say it with me..."Please stand clear of the doors. Por Favor Metengan se alijados de las puertas." |

Thanks everyone for being so positive- this just reaffirms why I love F.I.R.S.T. and volunteer my time to this program and the awesome students involved! |

It certainly shows to never give up, even if all you can do is score a single tetra. |

Any FIRST pit is my favorite because that means I'm enjoying a FIRST competition so I'm just plain happy anyways. |

"FIRST" is not a verb (yet - give us time, and we will see what happens). |

All I know is I have fun building a robot, and I have fun competing with it. If I get an award, I'm happy. If I don't, then too bad. Either way, I'm coming back next year. |

I would hate for you to get the impression that the Northeast is one big unending snowglobe during the winter months. |

Once this competition is over, we should donate all of these Poof balls to daycares, elementary schools, neighbors; all the little kids. It would make us look good like, "Here's our Toys for Toddlers gift from us upstanding citizens. And we build robots." |

But plywood is so awesome on robots...... But I guess shiny usually always wins out huh? |

It's just another design constraint that needs to be dealt with. |

I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. |

Realizing your DON'T want to be an engineer is every bit as important as realizing you do |

Sometimes we over react to things, and thats where a PM can clear a bunch of confusion. |

Hmmm, the Michelangelo method of robot building. Just cut away anything that doesn't look like a robot. |

It goes to show how a FIRST team is not one person but a complex codependence of people who are all striving to meet the same goal. |

One team at the UTC regional scored over 2100 points in autonomous alone. I was highly impressed. |

Thanks to everyone who made the regional possible - I know my team had a blast and I'm pretty sure most other teams did too. |

My teams robots have been good, bad and ugly BUT they were all beautiful because they were there. |

We did the best job we could out there, and unfortunatly we have human limits.. The refs don't catch every penalty, inspectors don't catch every issue, and this year the score keepers won't catch every single ball. |

Remember, GP doesnt just need to apply to FIRST; if we all apply in our lives as a whole, the world will be a better place. |

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 13:33.
If I find a student on my team who came through FIRST having learned nothing more then he wanted to go to MIT, I'll give my self a pat on the back and start counting down to kickoff.
