I think this is why many successful teams in FIRST have found that developing skill sets in many areas help them. If you are trying to present your design concept to your team or to your boss, you must use language to communicate. The better the communication, the better you can convey the concept. If there is a problem with the robot, clear concise language can used to express what is to be determined or needed. Each time the alliances are formed on the field of a FIRST competition, this presents an opportunity for each team representative to put their best foot forward and to have some fun with it. The acceptance competition provides an incentive to be creative and to shine. It's very cool.
