There are no simple solutions, as every solution has its own problems. |

Take it from a team that mastered tank treads and still hasn't built them in over a decade - it's not worth it. |

No offense, but telling the Killer Bees they should do something is like telling Micheal Jordan how to dunk a basketball (or Lebron James for you young'ens who don't know who Michael Jordan is)...

Hurricane season would be torture, at least in snow you can lock the doors and know the robot is safe. |

50% of the time that 330 used mcmaster 2717T51, we went to Einstein. Your mileage may vary. |

It's a bit sad, really, because FIRST has already reached other countries and there are some U.S. states that still are unaware of what FIRST is!! |

It doesn't make a team better if they have just one sponsor or if they have 100 sponsors. However, you should commend a team who struggled to pay the bill with a list of sponsors one hundred long for showing their strength, perseverance and love for participating in the FIRST robotics program. |

So many possibilities so many different meanings and soo many different opinions. LOL but i guess this is what FIRST is all about. |

With three robots, I was expecting better scores but I guess more robots means more penalties, not more points. |

If all you've seen of an event is the three days of the competition, you've missed 99% of the work that made it happen. |

Fire and smoke are great if you're into Battlebots, but we like to avoid them in FIRST competitions. |

As a rookie team member at my first event, i had a great time, the little glitches meaning nothing. |

It doesn't always work when you put the word gracious in front of anything. Think Battle bots, after a winning match do ya go over to the loser and go we Graciously kicked your butt!? |

In fact, one of our volunteers just found out about the entire FIRST program two weeks ago and had so much fun on Thursday that he came back on Friday to help us again! |

Is it weird that I was hoping we wouldn't have too many snow days so that graduation wouldn't run into Battlecry? |
