Re: How to change a team's mentality in less than a year?

I agree with Tottanka, just focus on the mantra "It's not about the Robot". You don't need team members who only want to build a great robot - if they get upset and leave because that's not the team's focus, then the team will be better for it.

On the other hand, too much focus on non-educational non-robot stuff might not attract enough people to the team. But if you wanna play with robots, you also have to mentor the Vex and Lego kids, demo for the Girl scouts, pick up trash on the roadway, play pinochle with the veteran's group....
