50% of the time that 330 used mcmaster 2717T51, we went to Einstein. Your mileage may vary. |

To anyone who is discouraged about their team, don't let yourself get down. I've seen my team go from having a robot that barely moved (and I'm not kidding, we had keys falling out of gearboxes) to this year with a robot that is ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK. Don't lose hope, stick with FIRST! |

Teams need to make 'don't be a jerk' a part of their culture, and that culture needs to be explained to the parents who travel with you |

...if two good things are good by themselves let's do them both together to make a better thing. So who's up for an apple pie burrito? |

I check Chief Delphi more often than I check Facebook and Twitter combined. It's probably unhealthy actually... |

Finally, they're getting rid of the spotlights. I'm sick of seeing ridiculous inside jokes up there. |

I don't know, there's quite a few teams that apply to travel to some random HS gym in Indiana every summer. |

I have never before seen the words "smaller" and "Saturn V" used in the same sentence. Wow. :yikes: |

I still say animation is the illegitimate child of the FIRST family locked away in the attic and never spoken about. |

Next year they should make Roombas the game piece. They're not very effective at vacuuming the rug that's for sure. |

How are we as mentors and coaches presenting ourselves? We we are is who they will emulate. It is the nature of coaching, the nature of leading. |

There will always be a point in your FIRST experience when you realize you can get away with something that is against the rules. It is at that point when you have a choice to make about your own personal ethics, and what sort of example you will set for your students. |

It's a skid-steer vehicle, so it depends on the phase of the moon and yesterday's lottery numbers. |
