Re: It hurts to exclude people from the team, but...
Building a team and building the robot go hand in hand. Both are important. Students and professionals working together in creating a product that will enable them to participate in competition. Working together is key. Finding ways to work with each other and alongside each other is something that we do in the work world every day.
A FIRST team is an opportunity for individuals to find out what they are made of and what they can bring to the effort. Within the team, the veterans help the rookies acclimate. From there the individual makes his and her commitment to the team and to helping the team continue to develop. How well the team does in helping the process - the team members and the robot - defines the team and its contributions to our culture and our society.

Thanks for this thread, Jacob.
