So, you're saying I never spent weeks in front of a computer CADing and giving part prints to STUDENTS to read and make parts from?

Coming to champs? I cordially invite you to come to our pit at any point during the event and you will find only students working on our robot. Also, have a look at photos from http://picasaweb.google.com/patfair

That's our public gallery. Have a look.

What do you see? Students working hand in hand WITH mentors, in OUR SCHOOL machine shop.

I rest my case, again.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
