Re: The Stereotyping of Successful Teams

I think all consistently good teams inspire others to be better. In our initial design meetings for Breakaway, we were trying to decide where to shoot from, and were considering being a striker or maybe shoot from the middle. Then our head mentor was like "Hang on a second, 40 is going to be scoring from across the field, why can't we?" (referring to the late great Team 40 from Manchester NH). We pushed ourselves and made a robot that could score at will once at 100%. 40 had a great robot, but we were right there with them, and came home with our first regional win.
