The sign applause was definately one of the best moments I had ever witnessed at a FIRST event. Who knew silence could be so loud? |

Nice going guys!! Not only did you succeed in reviving this thread, but you woke up Dave from his mid summer slumber. Now we are going to get 6 months of pre-kickoff torture!! |

Besides, all the FIRSTers that I know - are children at heart. |

A lot of the time in FIRST it's not what you have when you enter the program, but what you gain from being in it. |

What about marriages ended by FIRST. I know that by Presidents Day my wife is not real happy with me :) |

Doctor the drill, or doctor your hand. Easy choice. Let's all make the right one. |

It is often less about what you say, and more about how you say it. |

The term normal is relative to CADer side of me. When compared to the rest of society, there is no normal side of me. |

We want people to exercise Gracious Professionalism® and play at their best, but also not really because we find this archaic rule to satisfy something related to inspiring students to pursue careers in science and technology.™ |

Just once I'd love to see a team come out to the field and say " Team xxxx rejects our reality and accepts yours!" |

This is a solemn reminder of how fast time goes by with the blink of an eye, that if you don't run to catch up with it, it will catch up with you and sweep you away. |

Quitting when faced with adversity is not the answer. We have to figure out a solution within the constrainsts applied. |

Maybe this thread should be re-titled "Waiting impatiently for the 2011 hint!" since having over 100 posts doesn't seem very patient. |

As part of this test phase, I would expect to see Aidan sleeping on the job for most of the upcoming season. :) |

Are people allowed to go to the roboprom, or just our robots? |

And you said it would be an easy game hint... Time to break out the N-Spire and do some number crunching |

Nonetheless, I would welcome it, as long as [The President] didn't restrict the number of discs that a Robot could hold. Oops, wait, too late, the GDC already did that. :-) |

This reminds me a lot of how millennials are regularly called out for simply being younger and having different perspectives. In the end it's the ones who are calling them out in unprofessional in ways that end up embarrassing themselves and looking uninformed. |

The worst that happens is we try our best and lose. And there's no shame in that. |

I told people that I was a summit for world leaders for our regional. We had two that are current world leaders and over 1000 that will be ones in 2029. |

There is something completely respectful and amazing to see FIRST teams who have members go through 4 years of the program without winning a single competition or even a single award. Those are the teams that are looked at by others and respected for what they do. |

What's this about a robot that they speak of? Are we supposed to build one???? |

We can read about torque and speed in books, we can build a robot and drive it, but determination and character are built by time and encouragement, not just by studying. |

We all know that with mechanical systems, once all the noise has leaked out, the system quits (therefore quiet running mechanical systems last much longer :^) |

It wasn't about the ROBOT, or about whether I was male or female, it was about getting to compete in something that was just SO cool. |

Don't be affraid of trying new things... Even if people say you are crazy, even if you get insulted, even if it involves a lot of time and money, try it. You can't know if it'll work or not if you didn't try it yet. |

Active control of game pieces throughout all stages of your robot's interactions with it is critical. Never let gravity/inertia control the game piece. If you want a game piece to go somewhere, you MAKE it go there. |
