The engineers and mentors provide the "I" in FIRST and FIRST would be nowhere near where it is today without this exceptional leadership shown by so many of these volunteers. |

FIRST doesn't end after high school, for some of us, it is only beginning. |

Antimatter.. It will help us in the never ending quest to build the bot under the weight limit. |

FIRST needs a disclaimer that parts of the field can become flying projectiles under hurricane force winds. |

FIRST is about so much more than what happens on the field, and sometimes we forget that. |

Most of our old robots have been scrapped for parts. Our Chairman submissions are still read every year by the whole team. |

Make sure you THOROUGHLY understand the rules of the game before you actually start designing the robot. |

The biggest thing is you don't have to make your robot like another teams. Come up with something unique and go from there. RAISE THE BAR.....

I walked out to the area where the robot was getting ready to move, and there's no room near the robot. I look again, and realize it's all students. |

You win Worlds by innovation. You win Worlds by determination. You win Worlds by engineering a robot so solid, that it successfully completes the game. |

Also, there are times when the folks who run this ice cream store don't have the flavors I like. Can you believe that?!!! Although this really frustrates me, I get over this treachery and I still order something. After all, it is ice cream. I like ice cream. |

You don't have to build a winning robot to build a team, but you won't build a great team unless they are striving to build a winning robot. |

I was very concerned about this thread.
Then I realized you were talking about a computer. |

Just make a FIRST version of Quidditch. The only people who would be complaining are drivers from previous years who wanted to play it. |

Learning from the innovations of others is part of what makes FRC great, regardless of your own teams accomplishments or lack thereof. |

This is a very cool robot. It doesn't look like a launcher... it looks like a lifter driving backwards. Then whammo! The ball is flying through the air. |

A year where the students learn a lot and win nothing is more rewarding than a year where the team does well and doesn't learn much. |

PS: When/if it gets to be too easy to build a machine that can accomplish a recent/typical FRC game, then I suspect it will be time for someone to unveil a harder game. |

I will never forget Dean's opening lines: "I want you to know that I am here under protest. I believe that everything you are doing here is repugnant and ethically wrong. And now I am going to tell you why..." And for the next 35 minutes, that is exactly what he did. |

[when asked where to learn about robot parts] ...some forum called Chief Delphi. I hear the people there are pretty knowledgeable about this robotics thing. |

Hearing about the beginnings of 842 was truly inspirational and has really stuck with me through the years. After following you guys for so long it was crazy for me to play with you. Thank you for all that you have done for FIRST in Arizona. |

Clearly they're releasing the game hint on 12/21/12 because they know the world's going to end, and they want to keep FIRSTers happy and distracted until the very end. |

I openly admitted to using IE at robotics last year and recieved a major lashing for such blasphemy. Then I downloaded Chrome. |

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 16:46.
last year I wanted to electrically charge our frame, then cover the whole bot in tape and say it was for insulating purposes. Then I settled down and read the rule book. - russell [more]
