Re: Excellence is Contagious -- But how did you start the ball rolling?

For me it's not so much what, it's who. Travis Covington's demanding standards of quality wore off on me years ago while we were both mentors on 968. Of course, he still continues to raise the bar as the rest of us struggle to play catch up.

On a related note, I feel like I've worked pretty darn hard this season, but one look at 118's robot makes me think I haven't worked nearly hard enough. I need to visit this team in action someday to see how it's done. It's just amazing.
