Re: How to become elite?
Whenever I hear someone asking how they can get better (in regards to anything), there's always an odd saying that comes to mind for me. "You can lead a cow to water, but you can't make it drink." Point of the matter is, we can tell you all of what we think the answer is, but it's you and your team who is going to have to do the actual changing.
Now onward to the advice - Work hard (cliché, I know). You're going to have to be willing to do anything to advance your team. What also comes with an elite team are amazing sponsors. The sponsors are where your budget comes from, and if they're behind you, you'll have the money to buy whatever parts you need. A good facility will also help you achieve an elite creation.
Most of all, remember to have fun! While we're trying to promote science and technology, we're also all High School students. Take a break every once in a while and go have a team outing.
Good luck to you!
