The events are not just a competition, but a celebration of 6 weeks of hard work. |

FIRSTers in particular want very strictly delineated guidelines so that they know exactly what parameters under which they're working, except when they don't. |

Ban the ingredients for cheesecake, and stores will find substitutes. Remove the market for them, and stores have no reason to make them. |

You'll find that there are plenty of teams and individuals who shout. You'll also find there are a smaller subset of teams and individuals that do. Those that do tend to be the ones that get their way. |

Let's sheathe the pitchforks and douse the torches for another two months, shall we? |

If that due diligence shows that a real need for action exists, *then* grab the pitchforks, and light the torches. |

We can help FIRST improve the system, but we can't just blame them and wait. |

FIRST competitions are a microcosm of real world engineering projects. |

Real projects have good and bad aspects, problems that must be dealt with, and lots of things that dont make any sense from your side of the fence. |

I like the way you are saving weight by cutting out the center of the speed controllers. |

Teams should make it a practice to protect their Victors (all the electronics, really) from the mechanical folks, with their saws and files and stone axes... |

you can't eat a poof ball. its filled with magic smoke. it'd kill you quicker than a robot rampaging in autonomous mode, when you have the green light strapped to your face. |

There is no shame in admitting someone is better than you at something doesn't make them a better person just means they have skill you haven't figured out yet. The only shame is if you are too proud to ask for help and to learn. |

Competitions are won or lost far away from witnesses, ... In those long hours, is where we find inspiration in ourselves. For what inspires is not another's feats, but realize we have the power in ourselves to achieve that feat. |

Every team in FIRST can make this choice. Be positive, help others, and work like a maniac behind the scenes. This approach will bring you joy and satisfaction, whether you win or not. |

If you water it and nurture it and fertilize it and put it out in the sunlight, it might just grow up to be a big lathe... :) |

Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR).
BQR-5: The platonic ideal of FRC bumpers.
...
BQR-0: Moderate to heavy use of duct tape.
I believe BQR would outperform OPR as a predictor of on-field robot performance. |

So take it all with a grain of salt, form your own opinions, lead by example, act responsibly, be graciously professional, and everything will be ok. |

We don't build robots because it's easy, we do it because it's hard. Maybe we can work on giving new members a warmer and gentler welcome, because it's hard ;). |

If we can figure out how to make a robot in six weeks, a little thing like personality conflict should be easy to overcome. |

Different approaches to the same problem. Isn't it better to focus on understanding both than to be dogmatic about it? |

In real life (IE when you go to apply your engineering skills to tasks in industry) there will be constraints on all sorts of things - many of which may or may not be "fair" or even "intelligent". You must learn to either work around them or use them to your advantage - preferably a bit of both. |
