The big lesson we learned ... our past does not limit our future, that superior attitude will beat out big budgets. |

This forum is a really great tool to get people connected to the rest of FIRST communities, as well as a great place to learn from other people and share a little part of yourself. |

To limit FIRST to robots, tools, and competition is to strip away its immense potential. |

FIRST is not about robots or which roller coaster we get to ride... it is about people. |

Never be afraid to admit your ignorance, and ask someone something. You may just learn something new...

The teams that do the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing, and for believing in the message of FIRST deserve to be recognized. |

Success to me is a feeling that is associated with achieving something you truly worked hard for; something that you can look at and say "That's my best work." |

Learn the subjects that interest you, but at the same time know how it relate to real life situations, and how it is applied. |

Why aren't the kids who sit alongside the sidelines and observe as valued? Why are they looked upon as leeches, in it for a trip? |

Those kids are different! They seem more mature, respectful, and intelligent than most adults. They can actually think instead of just spitting out facts. They are obviously getting a real education. |

But he who has deeper insight realizes that concepts and ideas canot be contained in even the largest jar, bucket or box. You cannot touch or see these things, but you can be enhanced with knowledge and experience of them. |

I think being successful in FIRST is creating an environment where people can grow, learn, change, and recreate... It's about making an environment where kids feel they can be successful... in whatever discipline they choose. |

Success isn't from winning nationals but from improving as a person or as team. Putting the minds together in order to get the job done is success. |

Nats allows an exchange of a vast multitude of ideas from everywhere. Not only in robot design, but accents, tool storage, pit design, team spirt, clothing, many things.

FIRST is like a big roller coaster, that can only be experianced if one takes a ride which can become a liftime experiance. |

Success is the indescribable feeling you get when you see something you worked so hard on in front of thousands of people. |

Look at 71's 'walking' bot from last year. One dosn't need wheels/track to move. All you need is an idea. |

...all that matters in my opinion is how much personal growth each one of you all achieve from being a part of this wonderful organization known as the FIRST robotics program. |

I think with so many facets of FIRST, success comes from learning the true meaning of teamwork through working towards a common goal. |

We are different, but in our differences we help the world continue to grow, change, become inspired. Different is NOT bad. Be true to your self, be weird, be dorky, be crazy, be a geek. :) |

FIRST is kind of like charity work... you are, even if only in some small way, helping our future just a little bit, and you get a great feeling from it. Even if you are just ringing a bell (or clapping MOE sticks together), you're helping. |

Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, and cut it with an axe. This is not an exact science. |

If duct tape isn't the answer, you're not asking the right question. |

ALL technology is run on 'Magic Smoke' contained within the device. As everyone knows, whenever the magic smoke is released, the device ceases to function. |

You only really ever need 2 things in your tool box: A Hammer to separate things that shouldn't be together, and Duct Tape to put things together that shouldn't be apart. |

You can either spend lots of energy complaining about it and whining or you can try to figure out how to make a positive experience from the whole thing. |
