I can't wait to be one of those old kids who can say "Yeah, I remember the days before districts." and then watch the kid's eyes widen when I explain the days of regionals.. |

Coming from one of the biggest mecanum fanboys in FIRST- have fun, drive fast, and forget the haters. |

There is a big difference between "we have not been able to figure out how to do it." and "it's impossible" or "don't even bother." Let's be constructive not discouraging. |

I guess you really do learn something new everytime you go to a FIRST competition.

The world isn't made out of Nerf, you will get scrapes and bruses, but you will get back up and continue on. If you watch out you can avoid the sharp edges.

Now why did it take 24 pages for someone to think of that?? It's so obvious it's painful. |

Here, and in general, avoid jumping to conclusions without research. This will serve you well in life.

It is possible to live without the Big sponsors, it just takes a lot of fund raising and hard work. |

I find it extremely unfair to say the best robots are the ones who win events. |

Just like it is not all about the robots, it is not all about winning the Chairman's Award. |

GP is a much longer-term investment, yet offers surprisingly high returns. Just like 401(k) plans, the important thing is to keep making contributions even when it seems there's no reward for it. |

There's "FIRST the organization" and then there's "FIRST the vision for the future through a set of ideals". I've grown somewhat skeptical of the former in recent years, but, after 10 years, I'd still throw myself in front of a bus for the latter. |

It would be better as the software person to preach to your team early on for non-reliance on software. |

From what I've seen in FIRST, teams that copy generally always learn something from it, and if they don't, the copy they produce is of much lower quality than the original. |

A winning robot is not a winning robot unless you have winning drivers too. You need the time to develop both. |

If your goal is to win matches... Pick the most capable candidate. If your goal is to change lives... Sometimes you pick those that need the most change. |

Be watchful of the "man this is so cool we should do it in build" as I've embarrassingly fallen victim to it so many times before, with varying results. |

There will inevitably be enough unintentional failure in any endeavor we take on that adding intentional failure on top of that seems unnecessary. |

What I want is to ultimately make it so that the programming is actually done before the robot is finished. Imagine that!

Not only does Dave like to post hints about the the new game...but now he's starting to post hints about the activities of the Mars rover. Does it ever stop?! |

Think outside the bot.
Find a different regional someplace you never considered before. There's plenty of them. |

dont be afraid of new technology. embrace it and experment with it figure out the problems on the way and then tell us about it so it gets easier. |

I have always been of the opinion that if the mechanicals are making noise they are trying to talk to you. |

..the way we see it FIRST isn't about winning a robot contest, its about trying your best to complete a really really hard task in a really really short amount of time. |

we need a diverse team, and until we can welcome someone that's not a nerd, I don't think we're really successful in our recruiting. |

Truly good teasers should give people a good place to start guessing, while still leaving some mystery and uncertainty. |

.. if everybody else is buying all the thingamabobs so they can practice shoving balls into the whatsit. Maybe what you really want is to buy thingys so you can build a practice whojidingle. Being the only whojidingle robot can be a real advantage come alliance picking time ... |
