Re: Starting a Mostly student run FRC team
With all due respect, why bother?

The big advantage that FIRST has over every other program out there is the ability to work hands on with mentors. The inspiration that you get from the mentors, I mean, that's your wham-kazaw right there. There's a lot of cheaper programs out there that don't stress the mentorship.

I guess if you continue to look for mentors as you go on, then to each his own. But if you're choosing not to have mentors, it seems kind of silly to pay all of the extra money, and put in all of the extra stuff that FIRST demands over other programs, if you're not taking advantage of the whole point of FIRST...

Best of luck to you!
