Agreed. Look us up at USFIRST.ORG. We had no measurable success at all for our first 7 years. It has been only the last four that we've found a way to have some measureable success as defined by awards and regional wins.

I'll qualify the "measurable" above. While we didn't win awards or regionals we still inspired a lot of students along the way. We have all of our old robots dating back to 2003 and when a former student comes by for a visit the first thing they do is go and look for their old robot. I'm not sure "measureable" success has increased the percent of students going to engineering or other technical fields - they seem to have been inspired anyway.
