I like the idea of building thicker skills rather than thicker skin. I think there is a difference. Determination is not for the weak or the weak-minded. Neither is being equipped to mentor in what Gracious Professionalism is and what its potential/impact can be to people outside of FIRST. Being capable of doing that in order to implement a change in attitude and mentality is a skill.
An IRI button project = awesome.
