Re: Generation gaps

This might be one, Kathie:
When I left for college in 1969, my mother gave me a portable electric typewriter and a Singer featherweight sewing machine. The typewriter has long since come and gone but the Singer featherweight started going to the shop 5 years ago during build season and lives there until our robot is shipped. We have found all sorts of uses for it from sewing flags to sewing parts this year for the robot. This is a small example of using old methods to help strengthen this generation's current methods.
I think when you combine ways of doing things, old and new, it adds dimension and depth to the team, build, and end result.
