If winning that individual match is more important to you than being there in the first place, then I believe you've got your priorities in the wrong spot. |

And then you realize...If you hadn't been working ALONGSIDE those engineers... you'd never have that other person to say, "Well, why don't you do this, so that it works?" |

It's rather simple: you start with a block of solid and remove material until you just have the robot left. Kind of like making a sandcastle. Only harder. |

I don't think FIRST is the reason for following rules, being respectful, etc. We should do that anyway. |

It is a good idea to try to stand in another person's shoes and treat them as your equal. It's called respect. |
