Re: GP? I think not.
One thing Im noticing in a lot of the adult supporters posts is that they seem to imagine adults to be infallible. Something I just cant believe to be true. While there are great ones (look at every Woodie Flowers award winner ever) even they have flaws. My point is that a common flaw is that they want to build robots, not engineers. I think the ultimate mentor is one that can say "I think I am doing to much, and need to step back to allow student to be more involved". Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching. I like that, I think I found a new signature.
