I was in no way saying that most teams have this problem nor was I saying anything about winning competitions, but it is awful hard to interest a student in engineering and science and whatnot if they cannot tell you the most basic functions of their robot. Sure its great they are there possibly showing some interest but that little spark can only go as far without knowledge. Our professor/enginear that works with our team gives a test over our robot on the plane to Florida, if you don't make at least and 80% your going home. We want everyone on our team to be able to tell anyone, weather it be a judge or a member from another team, all they need to know about our robot. On some teams shirts it also said if the were on the building crew, animation, ect. Even when I asked those with the "building crew" title on many teams they told me next to nothing, or talked about the cool paint job. I mearly made this post to give others a thought to ponder as we start this all over again. nothing more.
