As long as you stay around the business of robotics and technology, there will be change. It is at the core of their very nature. The trick is to appreciate that aspect of it, respect it, and remain flexible as the programs develop and grow. Who knows what will happen 2 years, 4 years, 10 years down the road. The goals and planning that are imperative to successful programs and their clientele, will help with that development and growth.
What we do know, and becomes readily apparent, is that some of the best and brightest of the FIRST program are involved in the success of VRC. Experience is a valuable asset.
