Re: Another Culture Change
There are many ways people measure excellence in FIRST. To some it is all about the robot and I am impressed with the work and organization of teh "elite teams". they are amazing to watch compete on the field.
But time in and time out the one team that never ceases to amaze me when I am in their presence is team 365 MOE. It amazes me how their presence at a regional takes the place over and affects so many teams. They are always in other teams pits helping teams get their robots ready for the competition. They may not always have the best robot but they are thorough and professional inn every aspect. they are enthusiastic and gracious in victory and defeat ( and I've seen plenty of teams in my travels who do not take defeat well at all. This is one lesson they should truly take from MOE). To me they are the pinnacle of what FIRST should strive to be.
