If you managed to build your robot within the 6 week period as team and it runs you are successful.
If you are able to come back as a functioning team year after year after year you are successful.
If you are able to not only inspire your own students but other students in the school who are not on the team you are successful.
If you promote not only the growth of your own team but of other teams at other schools you are successful.
If you graduate productive citizens of the world who willingly want to give back not only to the FIRST community but to society as a whole you are successful.
Success can be neasured in more than just a trophy. It can be measured in the difference your team makes in the world around it.
