10 Things I learned

1) Respect from your teammates is the best feeling you will ever experience
2) Trust your sub-team leaders to do their job well.
3) Let go and relax, you dont have to do everything youself
4) Dont be afraid to assign team roles based on commitment
5) Have a couple of people specialised in every aspect of the robot
6) Always communicate! dont let your team members lose hope.
7) Say thanks to your mentors once in a while
8) Improvise. If everything went along with the initial plans then there would be no challenge in FIRST.
9) Never worry about what you could have done, take pride in what you already accomplished.
10)FIRST is not just about robotics, engineering or technology. Its about values greater than that:teamwork, sacrifice and continuous effort.
