I can say the same but in a different way:
I'm 1 of the only 2 FRESHMEN actually doing something productive.
To give you a better perspective, of our 28 person team (not including mentors), 50-60% are freshmen. That means we have 13 freshmen just running around and it gets really annoying. I'm not saying that a team shouldn't have any fun, but when we need to do something, it needs to be done.
Today we had the 4 people from our team that put the most time (other than the mentors) into robotics. We were able finish de-bugging everything in the 2 hours we had. Yesterday we had two hours also to debug, but with 15 people just running around testing the robot just wasn't an option. Even though i'm on the support team, I basically do a little bit of everything (except for wireing and programming). In one day (today) I was able to learn more about the robot than I had in the whole six weeks.
Getting back to the topic...
Teams should be better organized. Our team got everything except for programming done in 4 weeks...

If 1701's freshmen are the future, it's going to be a sad, sad future.

You can't say that about all freshmen. I agree Freshmen can act stupid and mess up, but Freshmen like me are the ones that actually do something.
I don't mean to brag, but this is what I have done this year beyond what I was assigned to...
-Ordered shirts for my team
-Ordered giveaways for my team
-Created some content for the team website
-Host of FSN at Detroit Regional
-Host of FSN at Palmetto Regional
-Signed up for Pit News
-Arranged Hotels for my team
Luckily the rest of the team is fully backing me for FSN so I'm happy.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR ISSUES
