Re: Poor Dean's Homework 2013 Turnout

Teams should do the homework because they want to do the homework not because there are financial or other incentives.

FIRST should stop calling it "homework" just the term enough doesn't makes you want to do it.

I also agree that there should be better mediums used to get the word out and its time frame should be adjusted. Honestly, the best time for our team to get it done is during the build season. Yes it is our busiest time of the year but it is when we meet the most and have the most student manpower on hand. Our fall meetings are the only other time of the year where we have a large group of students in the shop every week, but during this time our focus is to expose new students to FIRST and expand on member skills/capabilities. Even now we don't have enough time to accomplish what we want so adding on a video production would add a lot to our plate.

Just my $0.02.
