Re: Is there really inspiration in teams?
Since there are few members from RAGE currently posting regularly on CD, I will attempt to answer for them (Ogre, please feel free to edit):
Team is led by elected student officers and organized into committees with adult mentors on each committee. Last year in addition to numerous "adult" mentors we had 5 "college-age" mentors assisting team (3 were team alums; 1 was from a different team; 1 did not participate in FIRST in high school) in teambuilding, programming, drive team, build, scouting, travel and community relations areas.
Robot design/build is a mixture of mentors and students.
This year's graduating class:
100% attending higher education
2 planning to major in engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute
2 planning to become teachers at state colleges
1 attending Eckard College, FL as marine biology major
1 attending community college majoring in communications (our Chairman's Award driving force)
1 attending community college majoring in engineering.
