I program, machine some, help assemble the bot, and I am the drive team coach..

Yet.. theres many people on my team who put in just as much if not more work than I did, just in one specialized area. Without them we wouldnt have a robot. My team has been given such a great oppurtunity the in the past two years because the students are able to design and build the robot, right in the high school. Now.. while our bot may not have the most sleek or effective parts, it does well and I am happy to know that everyone who put something into it learned big time.

So pretty much what I have learned this year is:

- Work as a team, everyone benefits.
- Trying to cram about 8 weeks worth of systems development into 2 days DOES NOT work
- Programmers shouldnt touch machine tools, unless they are CNC
