Impossible!

Now in our fourth year, my team still has yet to reach well working. Well-enough to work is as close as we've gotten. Personally I see no need for structure, everyone just needs to be devoted, that's it. This thing is supposed to be fun.

Of course when care for the program is lacking in students, then some structure is needed. Stucture makes the careless care. Structure gets in the was of those who care already. If FIRST robotics has a true meaning to the students, the students will govern themselves to make sure duties are completed. If there is not true meaning to these students, they better get some real soon or just go home.

That's my $.02.
