However, I think the laws of physics indicate that doing so is going to be very difficult at best. |

Here's some food for thought: Does your FRC program need the students, or do the students need your FRC program? |

You're on a team, weren't you taught Gracious Professionalism? It doesn't only apply to competitions, it applies to the real world. |

I'll not deprive you of the practice in reading the manual; you'll need it if you want to be an effective part of an FRC team. |

There is a really bad trap most people fall into, when presented with data they tend to trust it. This is dangerous. |

I would like to complain about the game as well. Complain, complain. |

“Hey, why are those numbers showing, it must be a game hint!” Listen, please – it’s not a game hint. Our game hints typically start with something like “This is a game hint!” - Frank |

If you let me borrow your time machine, there are various ways to fix this. But mine is on the fritz. |

Teams rarely win FIRST events because they can complete actions that nobody else can; they win because they do things faster than others. |

The best way to get to Einstein is to analyze the game, figure out which three robots would make up the ideal Einstein alliance, and then design, build, iterate, and polish the one that best matches your teams' capabilities. |

They know how to make paperweights into other objects, like robot controllers. |

Have you been formally diagnosed as a masochist, or are you just a mentor? |

For some people FRC is an introduction into STEM and just a way to open someones eyes to a world they might not know exist. To other it is a lifestyle that makes crossfit look casual. |

Minnesota could pioneer the idea of suspending a field 20 feet above the other field and have true double decker events. |

I can tell you for a fact that students don't need smartphones in order to unproductively entertain themselves in a robotics lab. |

If your goal is to make it to Einstein someday, someday you'll have to reach for the stars. It's just that the stars get a lot closer when you spent the offseason developing a rocketship. |

I'd like to think FIRST hasn't completely transformed into a money hungry self serving corporation. I'd like to think they actually still think they care about us. |

Using my Little Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Ring, I have determined that the game hint reads:
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine" |
