Re: Corporate Sponsorship
ok but now you have these engineers with 4 or 5 years of college education, and most with several years of experience
and highschool students from freshmen to seniors
and only 6 weeks together - its impossible for us to teach the students everything they would need to know to build a highly competitive machine all by themselves
on our team we start with the mentors doing almost everything, showing the students how its done, and usually by the end of 6 weeks we are walking around with our hands in our pockets and silly grins on our faces, cause the students have taken the whole project over
so I guess our team is in the middle - the mentors dont do all the work, and the students dont either - and when a crisis arises in the pits we are all there working together
thats our teams vision of FIRST - we dont build the best machines every year
but we do have two regional trophies sitting on a shelf, and a finalist trophy from this year (so far) - so we aint doing so bad either.
