Re: Training for the upcoming underclassmen?
 

I'm graduating this year, but I'm leaving my team with some ideas of how to train incoming freshman. One of my favorite is to have a Vex competition. We had a bunch of leftover money this year, so we took advantage of RadioShack's misfortune/sale of Vex and bought at least two of everything. I'm currently in the process of designing a few Vex-style games/challenges, and in the fall the team will split into two and design robots to compete. Should be great because it will teach some of the fundamentals of robotics, will build and emphasize teamwork, and will be fun. I just wish I could be part of it...

We had a couple of our freshmen take apart and rebuild last years 'bot, whenever they needed help... they just asked us :)

why can't you continue as a mentor? Many of our students have been thinking that when they graduate they would like to come back as possible mentors.

I'm going to be attending the University of Texas at Austin, which is about 4 hours away from here. I'd love to stay and mentor, but I have more pressing matters such as college.
