Re: engineer bots
Our team has a few engineers to help out, some equipment, and a small amount of money. We use parts that are used. Our drills have 1 speed. And the students do the work. It's the way we decided to run as a team. We could change it, but we don't want to.
And now for the good part...
One of the new students was scouting during GLR, and was watching some of the "well engineered" machines. She vented some frustration about them. I explained that it didn't matter - it was the inspiration part that matter, not the score at the end of the day...
But then she said she wasn't upset about the fancy robots... she felt sorry for the students who, she assumed, didn't get to work on the robots. So we had to have to whole "different ways to inspire" talk that y'all are doing right now. I was just happy as a mentor to have a student who PREFERRED to be on a team like ours, and DIDN'T want to be on a "super team". It felt good. Don't get that allot.
