like Foley350 said success is seeing your robot from the past year able to accomplish a task from the current game. we used our previous years robot at one of our design meetings to pulla goal containing two 150 lbs kids.(boy is it fun to be dragged by a robot. try it sometime.)

success is not winning hardware (maybe the motorola quality award which we won in VCU last year) but having fun accomplishing what you set out to do. look at the most prestigous award FIRST has to offer. it isnt to the national champions, its to the chairmans award winners. the chairmans award winners could have come in last place but they put together a good video showing how FIRST has affected their lives as well as their community's lives as well.
