Re: College Teams--What's the Coolest Part?

I definitely agree. I am currently a college mentor for Team 97, which is entirely run by college students. I think the high school kids can relate to us more since we are closer to their age and so meetings are a lot less formal and more fun. The facilities at colleges are a great resource. (We have access to a waterjet, which we unfortunately did not get to use this year but have plans for in the future.) I also think the experience of running a college team is a great one for college students. I am learning a lot about team organization and management (stuff I didn't see as a high school FIRSTer) that I think will supplement my technical education greatly.
