Re: Dallas Regional 2011

Wow what a time! Thanks to team 148 for your faith in us as an alliance partner. Thanks also for looking over our...

Re: Another Culture Change
I've never had a problem with mentors doing a large part of "the work" as you put it. This is allowed within FIRST and FIRST has struggled to keep the competition about the students and not about the...

Re: Another Culture Change

Re: 30 lbs allowance
I stand corrected... I didn't think this was a big deal. There seems to be a lot of passion about this. Perhaps we should put a scale out there and offer to help at the Dallas regional. Just an idea,...

Re: 30 lbs allowance

What "AHA" moment would you share?
My son struggled while working an algebra problem tonight and finally said he felt "Stupid" for not seeing the solution immediately. I told him to remember, that it took a GENIUS to discover "0". I'm...

Re: Another Culture Change
PLEASE
End this thread.
It went from reporting inappropriate actions to labeling people "Haters". "Haters?" You mean the people we mentor? The young men and women in their TEENS we are trying to...
