It will be nice because this year, we can actually do something with our robot instead of hanging inner tubes. We start off with way too many kids who dont do much, especially the business side, then as the season grinds on, they stop coming, until competition of course.

It is not that much better at this side of the river either. We have a team of about 30, but when all is said and done about 6 of us sustain the team entirely. We try to do demos at our school, but only the administration and about 1/3 of the teachers are in full support. We have had to hide the basketballs and frisbees to keep those less interested from breaking things, and like any team, when competition time comes around everyone is a game genius/ driving savant. We are working on getting an off-season event in place, and those who are less driven by the club are complaining about putting in the time and effort.
On a separate note, as a driver/ captain of the team, I respected your team very much, and thought your drivers exhibited much GP. Our qual match 75 with you was a blast. Your buttons are the best, and I do hope we get to work with you again/see you at our off-season event (if it is a go). Much respect, ratchet!
