Even in the worst times, I get a reminder of just how wonderful my big FIRST family is. |

I fear sometimes as time increases between the present and when someone started, some sight of just how hard it can be to field a functioning robot for a young team is lost. |

FIRST is a community unlike the public at large, with the distinction lying on its gracious professionalism. I have no doubt that the community will continue to uphold and cherish this unique characteristic through difficult events such as this. |

"Individual": I am the FMS. I don't want to talk to you.
Robot: FMS, is this true? I still have stuff for you.
Actual FMS: No, what gave you that idea? Are you feeling ok?
Repeat.
Field Monitor: FTA! We need a counselor! |

Dash Board: Hey Robot, here is some new data.
Dash Board: Robot, did you get that data yet? Hello?
Robot: Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks! Yep! Thanks!...
Other Robots: Will you please shut up? |

Robot: Gyro, please reset yourself and verify proper operation.
Gyro: ... WHY IS THE EVERYTHING SPINNING SO FAST? HELP! ...
Robot: Are you working yet? How about now? |

Justin Bieber says "US FIRST" rather than just "FIRST". The irony. |

Including the Kinect in the kit a parts is actually an evil plan. The programers are going to spend all their time playing with the Kinect. In competition the robot is just to sit there because it will not have a program. :ahh: |

Start respecting your mentors more or they might just leave. |

The bottom line is this program means the world to me ,and the friends i hold dear that feel the same way....I believe it changes lives and outlooks on reality. |

What about "I h8 Autonomous Mode" (for the programmers who actually have to make the robots work)? |

In an education culture that hinges on having the perfect grades and perfect SAT scores to get into the perfect colleges, I enjoy providing an environment where students are encouraged to test their own hypothesis, challenge their assumptions, and regularly fail. |

I looked at it and originally thought it was a crazy idea... then I looked at it again and it still sounds like a crazy idea. |

... we are really in FIRST to develop a love and appreciation for Math, Science, and Technology. This is our goal. Every team can do this effectively regardless of how well they do in competitions. |

IMHO, [the driver's] job is to drive the robot. The coaches job is to monitor everything in a match that isn't your robot. |

We only ask that, when able, you too help other teams as we have helped you. It is this mentality of passing it forward that makes teams and FIRST great. |

Students learn from, are inspired by, and emulate their mentors. A team with a solid mentor base helps to create a productive, inspired, and ultimately successful group of students. |

Brainstorming and creativity are great, but you do actually have to build the ideas you come up with sometime. |

Differentiating based on any superficial criteria (gender, race, or other demographic) only serves to reinforce the false idea that they matter. |

That's awesome. I sort of like the smaller venues. You get to know teams on a lot more personal level. |

I'm somewhat fond of saying, if your robot dosen't weigh 119.99 pounds, you forgot something. |

It is sad when the robots do not perform as we designed them. It is sadder still, when they perform well, but they are not victorious. However, it is most saddening when they win at a competition, and competitors are unwilling to acknowledge the teamwork and good fortune of the alliance. |
