Re: Because I need to tell someone who understands
Surely teaching high school can't be that boring 
Sounds like the competition went better than a team can ask for. Achieving those small victories like being underweight and passing inspection is as satisfying as winning a match, but its hard to explain that to someone that didn't put their heart and sole into the planning and fabrication of a robot. All of the other large victories that may not be significant to other people is what makes us FIRST. Its wonderful to see others take more gratification in the inspiration of others than an award, a trophy, or a win-loss-tie ratio. This is why FIRST is not about robots.
