I shared your blog post with many (100+ FIRSTers on FB, 40+ FIRSTers on Twitter).
I shifted the culture of one team member who seemed convinced a certain team does nothing for themselves (as in, not even their mentors).
I argued, to no avail, with one graduated FIRSTer, who was convinced a team that has won a CCA (and I'm not talking pre-2000; a fairly recent HoF member) doesn't know, or has at least lost sight of, the ideals of FIRST. Despite evidence to the contrary. Not sure what to do there.
I cheered for the most deserving team when they won, because they earned it.
I took some sweet pictures of sweet robots, but I guess that's unrelated. But for the record,
some teams are just plain inspiring.
Edit: Reporting has no effect. When those who act inappropriately, mentors or students or whoever else, aren't corrected, action needs to be taken, and that is the suggestion of this thread. Most mentors share the right message with students, but it is the vocal minority that are the source of these issues.
