Re: Poll: FIRST Dean's List - Did you submit?
we were definitely rushed .... I am moderately happy with the quality given our time constraints, but know we would have done a little different/better had this come out with the rest of the awards section.

And I will confide seeing this the other day did burn me up a little. Truth is, I have zero time to pay attention to this now - like most teams. We're in the middle of withholding allowance work and packing/taking care of team needs for a week one regional and we've had bad weather hamper all of it this week. I thought I was going to get a little sleep and recover some before we go compete, but then this happened.

By all rights, we should have decided NOT to do this because of the timing and our other needs, but because this was an opportunity to recognize very deserving students we (well I took the brunt of it) sucked it up and got it done.

I'm proud that we were able to do this, I'm glad FIRST wants to recognize students this way, but I'm less than thrilled with the reckless rollout.
