Kim,

Thank you for posting such a complete description of many of the terms and acronyms that we apparently took for granted. They naturally become part of your vocabulary after 3 years. Hopefully your list will help some teams feel more comfortable with completing a survey and returning it to us. Even if a team isn't sure about all the questions - just complete what you can. We are looking for what and how you did your build and from our inputs will get a general feeling for what teams are doing and what voids could possibly be filled.

We are interviewing a couple local teams (my company's business unit sponsors 4 FRC teams) that range from first year rookie to some experience (5 year) with several trips to Nationals. Hopefully we will get a similar range of experience in the feedback we get.

Again - thank you for taking the time to provide an explanation for some of the terms we used. We look forward to hearing what you have to say about your teams.
