Re: The Stereotyping of Successful Teams
Daisy and Moe are regional powerhouses in the Philly region. In a very FIRST like way, they have been willing to share that info. (Team in a Box, amazing web sites, off season events, etc.) Teams have picked up on those things and some are using it. Clem and Siri from 1640 pointed out they made a conscious effort to reach out to Daisy and Moe and learn from them. Seems to have worked, three regional wins and a recent trip to Einstein for Sab-bot-age.
Both teams have similar features. Inspired Mentors. Inspired Roboteers. Work hard. Work hard all year, not just the 13 weeks of the season. Work the entire program, not just building a robot. They are all here to make a difference. Strong commitment to making a difference.
And when I talk to other HOF mentors you can see that almost incandescent glow about their commitment. When you talk to their roboteers you can see that glow also. So while the haters continue to hate, the smart people are asking "How can I get that glow too".
