Show me the mentor who has never built a bad robot and I'll show you either a new mentor, a liar, or Andy Baker. |

I hope FIRST hurries up and releases the regional schedule soon. I have a vacation schedule to plan. |

Good programmers always find a better way to do something, especially when it's not obvious where those improvements can be found. |

I got dragged into FIRST against my will, and it was the best thing that's ever happened to me. |

I personally need all the limbs and eyeballs I currently have, and I assume other feel the same way. |

5:20 - Lots of discussion about how FIRST pretty much wipes out the world of at least one object every year. |

Seriously I didn't think that "FIRST, it's the WWF for smart people" would ever catch on. |

Winning a competition is great, but seeing kids who never thought they had a chance before suddenly discover a brand new future would be the most amazing experience. |

I owe a debt, as many FIRSTers do, to the entire organization as a whole. Every team, every student, every person involved has help make FIRST what it is today. This is my Thank You. ~Anonymous |

Robotics for me though really is hard to beat. Though tiring and exhausting, the memories you build are priceless. |

A robot is replaced every season by the next robot, but a friend, team member, mentor, and memories will never be replaced. |

To me, being in FIRST is the biggest learning experience anyone can have. I want to give that experience to everyone I can, be it now or thirty years down the line. |

As usual, I mistakenly look for a technical solution to a social problem. |

Getting that degree is the reason for going to college. Failing out of school because you mentored isn't really a good reason. |

I guess it all just goes back to the fact that you need to finish your robot before it goes in the crate. |

Mentors can either hide the experience of failure or support the right of a student in gaining that experience. |

It's not about going for any of the awards. Awards are to recognize what you are doing for First, your team, and the community. |

When we stop asking ourselves the hard questions, whether as team leaders or in life, then we are failing. |

At the end of the day, it really isn’t about the awards. |

But their robot puts its wheels on one at a time just like ours, so we can be a HOF winner too! |
