[Eugenia Gabrielov]

A team is often successful due to their ties within the community, within the school, with a university, or with a corporation, or some other sort of partnership. Perhaps this involves lending mentors, such as a university providing professors/students, or an industry providing professional engineers (Caterpiller, GM good examples).

This question is really about how your team has utilized a partnership with the community or with a particular organization to benefit the cause of FIRST. It's really a very open question. Think about what kind of partnerships and relationships your team has with the community, and choose one that you think is particularly impactful.
