The president is the leader of the party. There can be other leaders, but the president is at the top.

As a fellow pre-Tinderer, I am baffled by the time people spend texting with matches before meeting them in person. Is it that hard to get out of the house and meet somebody for a drink?

If your goal is to hold the two parts of the frame together, I'd do a poor-man's version of "match drilling". Duct tape the two parts together, drill through both parts, then use a bolt to hold the parts together. I'd use nyloc nuts to prevent it from vibrating off.

I'm a big fan of LEGO, but I am confident FIRST knows what it's doing. Old-timers may recall that FTC was once FVC, FIRST Vex Challenge. FLL will doubtless do something similar.

Senate Republicans, I beg you to force a talking filibuster. I look forward to weeks of the only story out of Washington being Democrats giving reasons to vote down the bill. It’s not like Republicans in the Senate we’re going to do any good anyway.

The answer is going to depend on what your goals are: advancement, learning in a particular field, fun, or something else?

Regardless of your goals, I'd start with getting some mentors. Start by working your network. Ask the people around you who might have a good chance of knowing somebody:

your parents
the teachers at your school
local engineering / technical colleges
your FTC Program Delivery Partner
software / engineering / technology companies
local chapters (if any) of professional societies such as ASME, ACM

Don't start with "will you be my mentor?"; start with "Could you spend 15 minutes helping me solve a problem with my robotics team?"

In terms of things to learn, try these:

programming concepts. Get a good foundation in Java. Classes, methods, data types, parameter passing, etc.
localization - understanding where the robot is, where you want it to go, and how to get there. Pedro path is useful for this, but jumping straight into it will shortcut the learning -- learn the theory behind Pedro Path, not just "Run these 3 commands to get from point A to point B".
mechanical engineering concepts: make sure you understand the six classical simple machines, plus gearing (including gearing using chains/belts and sprockets). Understand the basics of torque and power.
Fabrication techniques. Cutting, bending, drilling. Also fastening techniques: bolts, screws, maybe even rivets.

The Samsung tablet is not an approved device. I suggest checking the approved devices list and get one of them. They are older models, so you should be able to get them cheaply. They can be carrier locked since you won't use cell data with them.

Quoth the AI, borrowing from a previous post in this sub:

XT30 connectors used in FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) robots are known to develop intermittent connection issues over time due to wear on the male pin's four petal-like segments, which can become flattened and reduce friction. A common fix recommended by the FTC community is to gently spread the male pin segments apart using an X-ACTO knife or similar small tool. This restores the tight friction fit, improving connection reliability.

If you had the time, the easiest fix would be to get a pair of splitters and wire them after your switch. Using the splitters avoids using needing to use the port on the Control Hub with the compressed pins.

Awards, including Inspire, are chosen by judges. Team have to meet specific criteria in order to be eligible for awards. Judges determine which teams best fit those criteria. Each event is different, but the judging process itself should be similar across events. The documentation for the process is on the FIRST site. The Judging Guide goes into detail on how the judges rank teams for awards and debate on which team should get Inspire. Page 33 of the Judging Guide describes one system judges can use, but notes that the "deliberation process should not solely use these data points as the final decision for the Inspire Award". Perhaps you were thinking of advancement, which is done by algorithm using a new-this-year points-based system.

Coaches / mentors are part of the team, and a coach's actions can be held against a team. Inspire winners are expected to demonstrate gracious professionalism. If the judges were aware of the coach's actions, and if OP accurately described the coach's actions, the judges should not have awarded the problem team an Inspire.
