any help????


Thanks

I seem to remember that one of the first WFA winners was a teacher...

In 5.28.1 (the real section number) and on the site, under "Spirit of the Award", the first sentence reads:

High school students on a FIRST Robotics Competition team may choose one adult team member as their WFFA candidate (see [other place] for eligibility).

(emphasis mine) I think that's pretty clear--parent, mentor, teacher, college mentor--any of those can be nominated; it just has to be an adult team member.

On the website, under the eligibility, it says "adult member" as well. Go surprise your teacher with a submission.
