I want to learn.

It'd be great to hop onto a team like the Technokats or Team Hammond and just... watch. I'd be content doing nothing but making parts.
Think how much you could learn watching Andy and Mark work on their newest tranny design...

I've got a lot of mentoring role models in my life, but it'd be great to spend some "up close" time with some of them.


Once I've learned "enough" then I'd consider striking off on my own and found my own team.

I would agree with John. I'd love to join an established veteran team, just to learn. I'm not all that comfortable taking a lead role, and I'd love to be able to work with some of the best minds and greatest people in FIRST. While I would probably enjoy starting my own team, the experience of being with a veteran team would be priceless.
