Ken,
FIRST is ALREADY sending that message to college kids. I wish to god Deano would get up on stage next year and say something like:
"Now, all you graduating HS seniors, here is your homework for next year. I want you to go off to college, and explore new things. I want you to get to know yourselves, and learn who you are. I want you to get used to college life, and I want you to focus on your grades. Remember kids, your grades are very important for your future, don't sacrifice them for playing with robots!"
(this is the speech I give new Freshman on my team) but Deano WONT DO IT!
As long as Deano is herding HS FIRSTers onto college teams like cattle, he might as well reward the ones who do it right.
