Robotics 101
I have now decided that I am going to compile a list of everything that happened during the past 6 weeks that I have learned or those strange moments that I can never forget.
1. The battery will only stun you, not kill you, unless dropped from high up.
2.Don’t look directly at thread lock (unless with safety glasses) when you are putting it on the robot.
3. If at first it doesn’t...

Little to No Stress
Is it weird that I am at my most hectic and demanding week probably in my entire life right now, and yet I don’t feel the pressure. And I mean, I have never felt more relaxed in my life (well, expect maybe when I am sleeping on good nights without nightmares of people destroying the robot). Because seriously in the coming days, 3 years of my life will either be categorized as successful or...

Give yourself plenty to do. You get more accomplished when you attempt more. You won’t get it all done, but the more you attempt, the more you’ll accomplish.
Those moments when you are wondering “what to do next” are wasting your precious time. There are plenty of things in your life that…

3 days and counting!
I can’t wait until January 7th comes for the FRC kickoff. I am so excited and yet am scared to death at the same time. I hope the team can come together and prove people wrong about us. I hope that people’s attitudes can take a 180 turn. I hope that my teammates will care. I hope that we can prove all the doubters that they were wrong. This is no longer about us, but rather it is much...

2012, I've got a feeling...
…this year is going to be a good one because I am going to make sure that it will be a good one. Whatever happened in the past, was. Whatever happens in the future, will. What happens right here, right now in the present, that is what matters.

2011- The Year of the Strange
2011 was a strange, long, but also seemingly short year. I learned more about myself, friends, risk, leadership, and silence.
I learned I can do things alone, but it is much more fun with other people even when I feel like I want to explode on them for their antics I don’t understand. Those are the moments I will remember for the rest of my life.
True friends will always be around you even...

Living in different worlds than people can be fun and exciting, but it is always awkward when you have to enter another.
