I second that. I was given 4 hours to wire the robot. I then had to rewire it in the pits while we unpacked. The programmers then get cranky when something wasn't connected. Of course, the team gets cranky with the programmers when something doesn't work.
Basically, on my team the team captain actually gets the most appreciation; I wont sugar coat it. Then the drive team, then the build team, then programming, then electrical, then media.
Though the specific sub groups get their own appreciation. Each and every member of the team that works, even tries for that matter, gets appreciated just as much as everyone else.
And on the note of the mentors, I think a lot of new team members under appreciate them. I know that I didn't my first year. This being my second year I have come to realize just how much they put into this program.
And on a separate note. I do not think that appreciation comes from the team, but rather each individual. And each person will have their own opinions on the subject.
