To me, FIRST is about having students realize that there IS an answer to the age old high school question: "when are we ever going to use this crap?" |

Only time will tell for sure, but it seems that the current software providers are hatching up a pretty good solution to the problem. |

Finding those students and giving them a lift up out of the sea of apathy that is constantly trying to drown them is one of the reasons I am in my profession. |

We need to all remember we are no better than our fellow man, no matter what job we all hold, what socio-economic status that's involved, or anything. Plain and simple, we're all fellow travelers on this pale blue dot called Earth. |

The ideals that are held by myself and by many of the longtime FRC mentors and volunteers whom I consider friends and colleagues are bigger than FIRST, and we will find (or make) another vehicle for them if we are forced to. |

The easiest and most effective way to do this for the Championship event is pre-competition scouting, with statistics. Nothing beats it. Hands down. Period. The End. Nothing's better. |

My son just said, "That's the kind of thing that you talk about in strategy sessions then say, 'nah, that would never really work.'" Un-be-freaking-lievable. |

p.s. note that 5-1/2 hours in the car with your daughter on the way to IRI is NOT the same as 10 hours in the van with seven members of Team 116 on the way to IRI. One is a wonderful familial experience, the other is an opportunity to go insane. |

Now if MTV had an episode of "Made" where the school's top jock wanted to drive a FIRST's teams robot to victory...now that would be a good one. |

We have to have a water-based game discussion each year, because every time I try to start up a "jello-based game" thread no one takes me seriously... |

WHY WON'T THESE THREADS DIE!!!!!!! Eeach and every year there are at least two discussions about water games. |

It's cool to see that Shaun White is an active team member (6th person from top left). That guy must be amazing, as he can win a gold medal in snowboarding while also being active on a FIRST Robotics team. |

The manual can be compared to a textbook in school. If you choose not to use your textbook, you are asking to fail classes. |

You know those gravitational waves you keep hearing about recently? Those weren't created by colliding black holes, they were created by our boulders colliding with the opposing alliance's tower. |

So basically, the advantage of #35 is that it allows you to be sloppier in your design and fabrication. If you pay close attention to these details, you will never have a problem with #25 chain. |
