Re: Engineering Team
That sounds like a great idea. It would be cool to have a FIRST Think Tank.
Maybe having single students ask for money and than doing something on there own is not that good of an idea. What about having teams, groups of students (inter OR intra team wise) and individuals make proposals, and then having a board approve the proposals. The board members could be mentors from FIRST as well as students.
This would allow everyone with ability to participate: you don't have to be a team. If you or a group of you has an idea, write it down, say how much money you need and how long it's gonna take.
OR make some kind of summer camp. There are teams with great facilities which aren't being used during the summer and could easily be spared. Students could work together with mentors on projects of their own or help as a group. The team would get some publicity for it, you can have local media showing up, companies would probably sponsor this; and you can always talk about FIRST, show some robots and such...
