I not only remember that movie, I read the Mad Magazine satire when it first came out....I loved how they handled the eggs and the sunglasses, too.

I do have another question for (my two favorite mentors in the world, right now): how do you structure your builds so that everyone stays engaged? I'm so impressed that your program has gotten so popular at Carl Hayden and your member numbers are huge.

We have around half the number of members and find it difficult to keep more than 3 core groups of 2-3 students/each (mechanical/electrical, programming, and grant/awards) engaged at any one time. This translates to a lot more students basically playing cards, hitting each other with pool noodles, etc. We are considering branching out and doing MATE next year, simply because a lot of students aren't getting any build experience with FIRST alone.

thanks for your reply and all you do!
