Re: Disappointment (long)

Just know that you put in the work. Life isn't fair and things don't always go the way the we would like. I'm sure that you have an awesome robot. We must keep our eye on what this program is really about. It's the kids, giving them the opportunity to learn, experience and solve real world problems.

Our team designed our robot. That is our students. Some of the basic ideas came from the mentors but the concepts were developed by our kids. They spent 150 man-hours developing a shooter and it didn't work. So they scrapped it and said we need to re-design, with 4 days to ship.

They inventored and built and in 2 long days had a new shooter to mount and it works well.

That is what it is about.
