Re: The New Cool

I can tell you first hand that this book is an excellent read. I read it last March (Neal is my uncle and I was given a draft of the book) and the one thing that really stood out to me was how honest the book was. It was able to capture the atmosphere of the build season, particularly the laborious CAD design sessions and the end of the season hussle, and it demonstrated the interesting dynamic between mentors and students. Regardless of my affiliation with the author, it is a great book and there were times during my read that brought me back to a prescise moment during my time as a high school student in FIRST robotics.
