Re: 3 Year FRC Cycle? - The CON's

Personally... I would get bored. Yeah, the first year would be fun and exciting... But as a mentor, what's left for me to do in the second and third years? There's no real design portion left to help the kids with - they have a working robot with a design sitting right in front of them, and if they were smart, they walked around the regionals the previous year and took detailed notes about the best design so they could copy it. There's nothing new and novel for me to be excited about - I'd essentially be there to watch the kids use the machines and make sure they didn't cut off a limb.
