Re: Positive Experiences with Dominant Teams

At the 2012 North Star Regional, my team was back to back with Wildstang. I don't have any stories of abnormal kindness, but they did let us use their portable bandsaw more than once. And then they wiped the floor with everyone. Seeing how nice and utterly classy they were while still dominating was very inspirational.

Another example would be at champs this year, I ran into some guys from 254 in their Hall of Fame booth. They were scheduled to leave fairly shortly, but we talked for like a half hour about prototyping and team structure. They gave me a very cool insight into how a perennial powerhouse is run.
