Re: Changing a culture of cynicism

Well. To start off, this may cause some inter team issues. Would've probably been best to post this anonymously.

Getting to the point, it's really just so hard to believe this when the FRC competitions I have watched online and attended are just bursting from the seams with energy. The competitions contain such an energetic mood that it's hard to believe that it wouldn't catch on to them a bit at least.

If they think they'll feel disappointment, turn down the complexity of your robot. Having them feel more confident about their robot will allow the team to do better in the end. Just make it simple, so that every time a match starts, you can tell yourself, it's going to work.

To be fair, I'm not always the one with the most energy at a competition, but I do cheer. But for them to not even cheer is ridiculous. I would advise not to push any big changes onto them though. It may just be part of their personality. Are they usually that serious/unexcited?
