Re: What Contributes the Most to a Team's Success?

A lot of the debate seems to be treating the question as asking about what makes a successful team. That's not the same thing as contributing to a team's success. A successful team is undeniably a partnership. No single factor can be pointed to as the most important reason. But is there something specific one can add to any random "struggling" FRC team and reliably increase its success? I believe there is.

I also think the definition of success should be aligned with the mission of FIRST. Students are absolutely the target, but mentors are explicitly the foundation on which the programs are based. Without good mentors, this becomes just another science fair.
