Hmmmm. I would bet that number is lower. I'd say 5%. Dez, I realized something odd about my views on all the stuff you talked about. I've always looked at FIRST volunteers and thought "oh man, that would be cool to do" - even though they were just resetting the field or queuing teams. What I realized is that despite my envy, I've never really looked to figure out how I could become one of them. I guess I always felt at a distance and just assumed that I couldn't do it because I was just a kid or something like that. Maybe then the problem is that we just need to get the word out a little more. Granted they now have members of teams inspecting robots and at some regionals (like St. Louis) they ask anyone who can to come help take care of things like resetting the field when they have time (I didn't have time ). Perhaps FIRST could put out a notice after the build period that it's looking for volunteers and start registering people after they've been hooked by the building, but after they are so busy that they can't think about it. The problem may be something else for others, but I think that if you get every coach to push the idea of volunteering or just start pulling in more people through friendships and word of mouth - the numbers might be higher.
