I'm sure someone somewhere worked [I]really hard[/I] on this and I congratulate them for the attempt. Unfortunately, its one of those things that should be taken down and recorded in the company journal as a bad idea. |

So yeah I love the minibot because it was a great vehicle to promote our team, make new friends, and possibly make sure a team makes it past their 1st or 2nd year. |

I saw a big opening in the bees section and asked if we could sit for this match and was told we were welcome to sit there. Your team made space for about 15 of my team members that came with me. |

Being called coach for the first time by some of my team. My dad was a football player and when I told him that story he teared up a bit. Me? A Coach? |

New mentor joins one team and ends up impacting several in the same region. I like that. :) |

[Goals For 2012]
1. Build on 20 years of hard work.
2. Inspire a new generation so they come back another year.
3. Repeat. |

My grades were horrid when I started, but thanks to the mentors and other students, I'm now a straight-A student. |

If students and mentors own their role and are proud of it, the team is stronger as a consequence. |

So much energy is wasted complaining (even in this thread) and belittling others (subtly in this thread). You need to engineer an attitude that encourages success through hard work before you engineer the robot. |

if you want to repay us for the omni-wheels, use the money to help out a few rookie teams next year. Buy them batteries or help build them bumpers, anything you see fit will be much better than cash back to us. |

Work hard. Then work even harder.
Work until there is nothing left to work on, then work more. |

As a team sponsor, we are more concerned with the behavior, attitude and commitment to FIRST ideals than specific performance in the competition. Some of our teams perform well, some struggle, some are in the middle. We support them all in every way we can. |

Do I think the bar is too high? I think impossible dreams and lofty goals are a key part of FIRST; the "top" being extremely far away only pushes people farther. |

It would be interesting to be able to take robots from multiple years and invent new games they can play together (Calvin Ball). |

Do you think it's important? Is it actually possible for the students to change the lives of the mentors? |

To the best engineers, scientists, and thinkers, something that is "hard" isn't something to avoid; it is something that begs for us to prove that we can do it. STEM is built on the very idea of trying something, failing, and trying something different. |

I think the winning robot will be the same as every other year, a robot that is excellent at ONE thing. |

I think that one of the most fantastic parts about FIRST is that the biggest and most successful teams are also the most abiding to the rules. |

FIRST is about family, making new friendships, belonging somewhere, doing something you love, and finding out what your real love is in life, so when you're old and wrinkly you can look back at high school and say "This is when I found myself." |
