He's got a lot on the ball and I think we can count on another notable robot from his team this year. However true this pseudo math homily may be, do you think it translates into other versions? Say maybe "better to be an 8 at one thing than a 4 at two things." Or "better to be an 9 at one thing than a 3 at 3 things." I mention this because there may be cases where a team cannot be a 10 at anything.
I find that the most difficult task for many, many people is evaluating external advice. Even the advice of your own mentors gets rejected without supporting rationale, so what chance has an alliance captain at a competition? I never cared too much for Vince Lombardi's quote about winning being the only thing. It turns out he had a lot more useful advice about teamwork and many other subjects. I especially like: "Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence." I need to make a large version of this to grace the shop. It won't be perfect or even excellent. Could be good though.
