Excellent question.
I don't want anyone joining a team that I am setting up because their parents want them to.
More importantly, I don't want a team that I am setting up to be in it just to win a competition and go home with a medal. I would much rather go home 10th or even 50th and see that my students have learned something, enjoyed the experience, and can re-apply that knowledge and experience into other areas of their lives.
Isn’t that what FIRST is supposed to be about?
I think so.
