I must respectfully disagree to an extent...The engineering challenge is a small part of the vast cultural change we're making. This involves students, mentors, community members, universities, corporate sponsors, and a few others - people, not machines. Of course you know that John. I just don't want others reading this thread to lose focus that a large part of that work is already done-build phase - teaching and mentoring. I know this season has been a HUGE life-changing process in the 33 students on my "rookie" team.
The competition adds a bit more learning and more cultural change. In my opinion it is icing on the cake.
To the OP, I think that this will be an exciting year and very competitive teams and regionals will blossom. Wish I could be at St. Louis to watch the fun this year. Einstein will be crazy to watch, even more fun if you're in it.
