Re: Frank Merrick gets it!
The FRC community, like many volunteer-fueled organizations, is rich in talent and passion. Also like many such organizations, it embraces quite a few strong egos.
Frank Merrick has a rare gift -- he can harness the talent and passion, while gracefully deflecting the egos. The result is nearly invisible but highly effective leadership.
Add my name to the already-long list of FRC volunteers and mentors who would like FIRST to remove the 'acting' from Frank's title.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
