Yeah, that's right. They brought enough kids to fill out a drive team, and they had one mentor who had been with 4096 before. Because they needed a lot of help to get running, there were people from other teams that were helping out throughout the competition that I guess became unofficial members. Off the top of my head, there was someone from 3061, 2022, and myself, along with a volunteer who did a great job filling in the mentor role, but I'm probably missing someone (sorry!). Various teams helped out with parts and tools too. I think that this team became the posterboard example of what first is all about
: helping everyone get the most out of the experience, learning as much as they can while still having fun.
