Re: Teams losing lots of seniors
I think I will echo the sentiment that it is so hard to lose your leaders, but fantastic when someone new and unexpected steps up to fill the void. We are losing 5 high school seniors, and being a college team, at least 4 college seniors this year. That can make things harder yet when you are losing two sets of leaders, but we all knew that this was coming, and planned accordingly. We selected people to takeover responsibility, or people stepped forward to volunteer. That is on awesome aspect of FIRST, anyone and everyone can and usually has the opportunity to lead.
