I was always very appreciative of those who worked hard to make our team look good.

Sometimes the build team would feel that they were "doing all the work", but strangely they never complained when we won website awards, sportsmanship awards, safety pins (never quite got the safety award), or when the presentation material on our robot helped us to win design awards. The build team was very happy to show up at the dinner when we received the City of Vancouver "Youth Group of the Year Award", thanks to the work of a number of team members who never touched a wrench! Sometimes it took a bit of work to reign in the egos of the build team and remind them that FRC is about a lot more than just building a robot or playing a game, but usually not.

My experience has been that what people get out of FRC, like most things in life, is very much related to what they put in to it.
