Re: FIRST on "The Fosters" - Monday Nights on FreeForm 8e/5p Starting Tonight!

Just got done watching the episode.

I'm pretty disappointed about the way the lead mentor is portrayed. I've never come across someone who behaves that way, and all of the mentors I know from "powerhouse" teams are excellent mentors, teachers, and just all around good people. I'm additionally a bit upset about the lead mentor being from Boeing, because that kind of falsely represents their employees. I also did a double take when the alliance used profanity in their name and cheers, and I presume (as I've never seen that happen at a competition) that it wouldn't be tolerated in real life.

All in all, minus the things above and the conflicts between the students I thought they did an OK job of showing FRC and FIRST. They certainly captured the wide range of emotions present an an event.
