Re: Raising the bar...or lowering it?
Well..well!
Interesting...
I'm from a rookie team, yet I'm not a rookie!
I was in last year's competition, Team #1219
However, this year, our school decided to have a separate girls' team, #1309!
So..I'm in it, and well, it is true, most rookie team members have no clue about engineering and machinery!
I know, how many girls did not even know how to hold a drill...or what a shaft was, or what an axle was...
Well, we had tutorials for that, and *sighs* the condition has improved drastically, but overall, I'd say, there are still 25% of members who are still young babes in these dark woods!
So, in that case, FIRST, is helping us a great deal
I mean, how can you possibly teach 20 people about different drive systems, and expect to build a fully-functional robot in six weeks!
Hmm...it's great help
I guess..I'd call it re-adjusting the bar!
LoL!
