Re: Question of the Week!!! (8/16/04)
I would like to try a year on a rookie team. I really look up to guys like Joe Balint, Rob Mainieri and Rich Wong who are "Pied Pipers" of FIRSTism, starting many teams.

In a few years, I might get a chance to do this. The school district we live in, outside of Kokomo, does not have a FIRST team. The Superintendent and the HS Principal have given me every excuse in the book to not have a FIRST team (not enough money, no lead teacher, no facility, etc.), and they don't seem to be interested at all in starting one soon.

When my eldest daughter becomes a freshman 7 years from now, she will have the choice to be a TechnoKat or to be on a team at her school. If they don't have a team by then, and she wants to be on a team with her friends at her school, then I will help start one.
