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

not on the list, but very important: being located at a strong supportive school or other strong sponsor.

we are a regional team and our students and mentors come from all over. this makes life very difficult because we normally can only work on friday evening, saturday, and sunday afternoons. regular attendance is a problem; many of our students are too young to drive. we also lack the ability to integrate team activities with any school curriculum, such as programming or solidworks/inventor. we get by but it's tough.

well, we love it anyway. wouldn't miss it. up here in vermont it helps us get through the winter; by the time march 5 gets here, winter is losing its grip.
