or money.
What I usually find those teams sorely lacking is mentor support.
The one thing that sticks out with the better FIRST teams is they have SEVERAL veteran mentors to lead them year after year after year. They are the constant on these teams that keep the standards high and lead the new generation.
A veteran mentor is worth a thousand practice bot to a FIRST team.
