As J -No said in his post big thank you to Canada FIRST for helping teams settle in during the strike period.

I think you have a really good point here Parth, I've noticed recently that students and mentors from 'competing' teams make an effort to get involved in another team in FRC when they leave (in most cases high school students going to University). I saw this originally when starting 2809, we founded with mentors from 610, 771, 1114, ect. and have had university mentors over the years from almost every large team in Canada.
We've seen this trend recently on 610, This year we took in 3 188 mentors (Kaj, Pranit, and Sharven, going to miss you guys
), Mr. Lim was originally a 188 student and coached 1310 for a couple years, and Nick Lawrence was from 1503. Looking at our recent graduates they have gone on to mentor 4814, 1310, 2809, 771, and probably others.
This is a recurring trend I've seen from teams in Canada, I think it's been really healthy for the growth and increased competitiveness of teams in Canada. Lets keep it up!
