College Teams--What's the Coolest Part?
Alrighty, so once again I'm browsing through old threads instead of studying for my exams (it's a lot more fun) and I've been reading all about people who have or have wanted to organize college teams. Now I know there's a few others out there, and for those who have been either students or mentors on a college team, I'd like to know what you think is the coolest part. Did you get to experience anything that you wouldn't have if you had been on a team not sponsored by a college?
I've seen both sides of the fence being on HOT and Spartan Robotics, and I would have to say that my favorite part of being on 1504 has been that it's a lot less formal. The students and mentors really both seem to be able to learn from each other, and even form some pretty tight friendships. One of the mentors on my team was invited by our students to go and play paintball with them one Saturday (btw the kids kicked his butt) for instance.

This season, I was a part of a great team, with great kids who were really inspired, and who inspired me back. That's my brag, what's yours?
