Re: Another Culture Change
LOVED the blog entry JVN!

and just in time too(I'm going to include it in our logistics meeting before we roll out for our regional this week), I've been preaching to my students that the really good teams help raise the bar to help inspire teams like us to work and learn how to jump higher. It really made me fumid when one my old students from an old team before I moved messaged me that he was upset that a powerhouse team was showing to their regional, I felt like I failed as a mentor that he didn't remember what makes the team more than a "Robotics Team" but a "FIRST Robotics Team".

The reason I'm still in FIRST as a volunteer and mentor is because it's simply put, the culture.
