John... there was neither and the process and progress was super opaque and vague to those outside of the FiT club.
Believe me, I tried to get in there--they're an insular group, all _good_ and good intentioned people, but if you're not in their circle you have no chance to contribute and affect anything.
I understand the approach, because the leadership has _their_ agenda and goals (which BTW is publicly stated where?!), but it hacks me off that there aren't enough, if any, experienced, rubber hits the road, current Texas adult FIRST team leaders on the FIRST-in-Texas Board of Directors to represent the "real" of what's needed in Texas competition robotics.
