Re: Teams losing lots of seniors

I suppose that this is an update as to how my team is doing now. The rookies have proven to be amazing to work with, as they are the most capable and pleasant group of any grade that I have worked with during a season. I had confidence, but was nervous at the beginning of the season; however now, I know that these guys will have no trouble keeping the team going next year. The group has persevered through the most difficult time of build, that is not being always able to do something, such as when we had to start detailing the design, or when we were machining (We cannot have kids that have not been trained in our vocational machining class operating the lathes and mills, only me and another senior are qualified this way). These guys picked up on the programs that we use very quickly. Some learned 3DS, or Inventor, or the programming techniques. Only one rite of passage left for them...time for a regional!
