: Looking at the little thread below, criticizing in a somewhat harsh way the method in which delphi runs their team.. and the need for all to throw up defenses (even i tried to get my word in..).. all we need to do is remember...

I very much agree with you Colleen; regarding the string about the Chief Delphi robots, I was actually quite surprised to see a strong engineer/coach reaction and none much from the students, especially those of the questioned Delphi teams. I personally take pride in being one of the students inspired in this whole 'movement,' and although I would probably institute hands-on learning as my best medium of learning, I do not believe that there is any limit imposed in the field of inspiration. How, when, and by whom I would not know how we each derived the excitement of FIRST, as we all differ accordingly. However, interacting with my rookie members who have never attended a competition before in their lives who absolutely love this program, I never cease to revere the power of change in which it brings into the lives of students, teachers, parents, engineers, companies, communities, and everyone else that is tied with any of us of the FIRST community. Indeed, I hail Woodie and Dean for their brilliant efforts to enhance education through a wonderful program such as this, and everybody else who has brought me closer to FIRST.
