Re: Mentor/Student Involvement Philosophies

So, here's a thought. How is having a robot that is somewhat mentor-driven any different from a team full of students purchasing COTS items and utilizing great products such as the AM14U2? Many of the products from vendors like AndyMark, BaneBots, IR3 and VEXPro are designed by active FIRST mentors for the teams.

Food for thought. In the meantime, maybe we can work on building ourselves up to each other's levels rather than tearing each other down from them.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
