Has FIRST ever made a game that was easy to do? |

Our robot will use sensors to collect information about its environment, then discard that information and drive into a wall. |

If my shop was snowed in and my unfinished robot was sitting in there, I'd dig it out with a plastic spoon or melt it out with a Bic lighter if I had to. Every hour counts. If there's a will, there's a way to make it happen. |

We've been thinking about just declaring our smallest kid on our BOM and making her part of the robot. |

It's the corollary that you pick them no matter what shape they start the event in. Pink is known for showing up at their 1st regional with the robot in an unfinished state. And somehow, magically by the end of qualifications it just works, and they win. |

Every year, 118 inspires our team to dream for the stars, and land on mars. If 118 wasn't there we wouldn't be off the ground. Think about it every superstar has critics. Keep doing what you do 118. |

The point of outreach isn't to "win" a "game" so I'm not sure what you hope to achieve with such a concept. The idea of "beating" another team in terms of outreach is fundamentally flawed. |

The best metrics are your own. Do you see the impact of your efforts in your community? Do you feel like you should/could have won Chairman's, but another team was even more deserving? That's how you know FIRST is really working. |
dcarr |
Hallry |
|
If you're doing it to win, you're doing it wrong. Teams who truly understand why they are doing what they do will win Chairman's simply as a result, an added benefit. The award isn't the goal. It's the impact you create, and the results you see. |

Remember that the reason that you do something should NEVER be for the sole purpose of winning an award. To paraphrase something said by one of the Hall of Fame teams: "You should choose to do something because it is fun and the right thing to do." |

Yes, in human nature we like to get rewarded/recognized for things we do; however, you should not have to rely on this to be "successful". Remember the purpose of FIRST - To change our culture. |

We have seen the difference in people's lives on our team as they went through the program. There are all sorts of examples, and I am sure you (and everybody other team) have similar stories. At the end of the day, that is really all that matters; changing lives in a positive manner. |

Creatively solving problems is part of the fun. Continuous improvement and sustainment of [old] programs is also important. |

Not every team can start 200 teams in Canada or Hawaii because they are located in relatively dense region of teams already. This doesn't mean they can't impact their local and surrounding areas. This is where you have to be creative. |

I am a firm believer that there is no model that can be transplanted/copied from one team to another and have the same level of success. There just isn't a formula for it. The mindset you should have is: "I know I have made a positive impact on my community". |
tim-tim |
Hallry |
|
We were asked to help change a culture. If the solution was simple FIRST would have given more specific guidelines on how to do this. It is our job as teams to find unique and creative ways to help fulfill the request from FIRST. |

We learned that no matter the outcome when you don't give up you will always win. |

Inspiration and recognition does not equal "advanced shop class". What's better for your team is not better for all teams. Remember that. |

The championship event is a meta-game of inches. People will complain about unbalanced/unequal divisions, whether you think it's silly or not. |

The name of the game will be "Conjunction Junction".
The robots will be tasked with hooking up words and phrases and clauses.

If the GDC made a game that consisted of driving in a straight line, it would probably be the hardest game in FRC history. |

"But from a real life standpoint, that looks like something the evil villains in a superhero movie would use to get around in"
Reading the phrases "real life" and "evil villains in a superhero movie" in the same sentence makes me giggle. |

It is impossible to be grumpy about anything when eating biscotti made by one's beautiful wife, drinking tea sweetened by one's own honey, warmed by a wood stove, and with a dog asleep on one's foot. Simply impossible. |

KISS does not mean that your goals and capabilities are "simple", it means that the way you achieve them is simple. |
