A mentor doesn't have to win the WFA at a competition to know that they've inspired the team. |

I remember seeing that hair do. It is what inspired me to become an MC one day. |

Who cares about the score? The score is just numbers on a board, the exciting part is watching the robots interact and seeing robots( and more importantly, people) do the impossible. |

If we can transform our culture to the point where girls swoon over guys as they pull their dremel off their belt and carve some speed holes in a smooth fluid motion, I think FIRST is half way to its goal. When we get the guys to swoon over the girls for their hot moves on the 5-axis, we have won. |

So I thought to myself "Man, I wish I was a part of a large technically minded community... oh... right..." |

but yea. people have this perception of robots as like, the terminator.

Engineering fundamentally comes down to problem solving, and if the students can't get excited and inspired by the problem solving process because someone has spoon fed them a solution, then nobody wins.

Some clever fellow a few years back made a little scooter based on this principal and made so much on the idea he can afford the finest denim in the land. |

Students and engineers should work side by side, actually inspiring each other. |

Adam, when most of us look at your robots, we aren't thinking, "How Creative!" What we are thinking is more like, "Holy Crap!" |

Now go out, get some sleep, and build the greatest robot you have ever made. |

FIRST is here to reach the affluent, already college-bound students with boundless resources; it is also here to reach the poverty-stricken urban and rural students who don't see a diploma as worthwhile, and everybody in between. |

A pole is usually made of aluminum or steel pipe. You can get these wherever you get metal. :)
As for polls, there's a check box in the "Additional Options" section of the New Thread page that you can click to create said poll. |

There's no better way to start your FIRST career then opening a box and getting free stuff from Andy Baker! |

These predictions are just a bit of fun. Neither these, nor the division threads, are meant to be comprehensive. Don't like 'em?
Go out there and prove them wrong! |

Seasons are often made or broken in the first week of build season. 1114 wouldn't be repeatedly giving their strategic design seminar if it wasn't that important. |

The culture has shifted, people. You can act shocked and complain, and likely lose the attention of the students you want to reach through FRC and other activities, or you can shift with it, and make FRC relatable and relevant to a bunch of good kids with foul mouths. |

I suggest that FIRST should include a "big red button" in the KOP next year to make everyone happy. :p |

After all of this is said and done, think about how much more you all will know about the lovely state of Montana and other things not related to robotics. :) |

FIRST is the best thing I could have ever done. It shows me where I think my limits are, and it destroys them right in front of my eyes. My experiences with FIRST have defined who I am, and I am beyond blessed to have had them. |
