Don't tell the rookies to "not touch the robot", show them how to work safely. |

I am all for high school sports, but as Dean continually preaches, we sometimes are not putting enough emphases in the right places. |

But then again, no one's robot ever is fully working to how they want it before the first tournamant. |

Fans come and go... but if you're a diehard, you stick around during the losing seasons, too. |

FIRST really truly is not about the robots, is it? |

One of our electrical engineers would bring his kids in every so often, so they could actually see their dad during build season. |

The programmers tend to get less credit than they deserve, but the robot wouldn't run if we weren't there. :) |

In 2001 instead of staring at the field at the game I turned around and watched the people watch the field. All I could see was a mass of people from all corners of the world, eyes lit up, gears turning in their heads. That, to me, is FIRST in action. |

Don't let the teams here be so much of an intimidation to you, but instead, an inspiration. They all had to start from the beginning, too. |

FIRST is like riding a bike. At first it may seem hard and confusing, but after a few tries you get the hang of it and its smooth sailing from then on out. |

I knew that the students on our team really understood what FIRST was all about when, two years later, our unofficial team motto changed from "we want to BEAT Chief Delphi" to "we want to BE Chief Delphi." |

it's flattering, but a little scary, because I don't know if I'm ready to be an inspiration! |

Our thanks does not have to come from their lips. It comes from the finished product that walks across the stage, gets their diploma and moves on to bigger and better things. |

Just as you and your team will make hard decisions as you struggle to build a robot, FIRST has had to make hard decisions concerning maximizing safety while making the number of rules as small as possible. |

Although you will see lot's of people complain about parts (sometimes that includes me) all of us are held to the same constraints. That's what makes this so much fun. |

Remember, there are many differents path to obtaining knowledge. There's no need to pigeonhole the process. |

And if in the end the students are inspired and more of the public becomes aware of the program, and people gain more appreciation for engineering, how can that not be a good thing? |

There's lots of other "stuff" that make a team work well in the FIRST environment, beyond designing and building a robot. |
