Experience
initiative
off seasons
cooperation, collaboration, being open
stealing, oops, borrowing from the best
fluid and constant exchange of ideas, communication, fun, expertise
team development during the year
Experience

FIRST can design the challenge, provide the KoP & rules manual, set the time frame for robot development, application, ship - and then set the schedule for competitions

After that, the teams take over and do their thing.
