Re: Suggestion for a new overall approach
Personally, I think the approach is fine and there are more resources than ever to being a competitive robot on the field.
As a participating mentor since August 1999, I can tell you that there are WAY more resources out there for teams to be successful.
Teams that are unsuccessful in producing a robot that is relatively effective on the field is not something that FIRST can help with, other than cost.
Previous inspiring team designs, and vendors like AndyMark and VEXPro are the ones that truly created an improved overall approach to helping teams with more turn-key parts, 3 day robots (among others), and design ideas.
Today, there are way more teams already assisting and collaborating with each other compared to before where each team saw themselves as an individual against others.
I cant see doing anything more other than just building it for them.
Time management, getting the right mentor support, school support, funding support, commitment to success, etc. is something a team needs to figure out.
