As for motivation, we can't afford to wait until build season, a motivated class with no idea what to do because they didn't give it thought before doesn't help...

BTW - you may have been put on the weaker team for a reason. Use this challenge to motivate and lead.
Actually, the teams were divided by the places the students were witting in (from here to here is team 1...), makes no sense if you ask me.


I won't be doing the project next year, because I won't be in school, thanks for your help, but unfortunatly I am still in the dark about the future of our class in FIRST, if we continue at this rate we WON'T have a robot at the end of the 6 weeks, and that would not be very fun at all...
help!
