Andrew Dahl is an unknown quantity at this point
let me address dtool41 remarks-on gracious professionalism

this discussion is part of gracious professionalism- not once have i seen anyone in here "dump" on another team or their remarks
except for your arguments that we have not exhibited gracious professionalsim and shown as you termed "another side of FIRST'
(i am not insinuating that you are but it seems that you are unhappy that people feel this way and have expressed it here)
this has been posibbly one of the best discourses over that past three years that i have been involved with this program dealing with how
people work with what they have (or dont have) (sponsers, money/ no money)

(big rant on)

it either fish or cut bait time--------

heck I even gave up my stipend to fund the team this year because one of our sponser did not give us the $ as they had said they would (but they gave $$ to sponsor the regional so that OK in my book)


we have risen to a fine moment- even and open discourse on what we percieve as inequities in the system (bad schools, bad sponsers, no euipment vs the exact opposite)
and everybody has done great with their bots

as for engineer built to students built
that is entirely a in-team situation
i think a mix of both doing the work is better that 100 percent either way-
my kids (MY TEAMMATES) have learned alot form the enigneers and have taken over some of the more basic operations of desinging the robot- they have only stepped in where we were at a total loss or were missing something obvious that we did not take into accout

(big rant off)

this argument comes up every year!!!!
and they have been nasty (very nasty at times) with very invective emails being sent diparaging ones birth right and circumstances of ones birth

will is ever change - most like not (and probably for the best)
