It definitely drives the message home that the successful teams are good year-after-year because of the process in place, as well as the leadership that keeps it all on track. While people may say that it's a lot easier when you have a lot of resources like these teams do, I say that maybe they have the resources for the same reasons that their robots are good: they have a plan in place to get what they need and they won't stop until they achieve the plan. When a team becomes successful, more good people want to join the team and it just builds on itself.
I would highly recommend attending these next year if JVN decides to do them again.

I attempted to takes notes as the panel gave us such us great advice. I tried to give names or numbers when I could but I had some problems due to some attendees talking behind me. It made it hard to hear but they were discussing in regards to their team.
I have attached the notes. As I said, some names and number are missing. Please forgive my grammar, punctuation and spelling as I was trying to get as much info down as I could at the time.
