[Tom Bottiglieri]

To students:

I know you think you know it all. I was in the same boat a few years back when I was a student on a team. I'll let you know that I WAS WRONG! Please listen to your mentors. They know what they are talking about. (All those degrees and years of experience have to add up to something, eh?)

Also, don't forget that your mentors are volunteering their time to help you. Without them you wouldn't have a team. So what's more important? Having a team or winning an ego battle over who's part goes on the robot?
