AND you don't learn much when engeneers do your planning and a shop does your machining...what does that teach ???
Working together and helping eachother out is how our robot came to be, and that is the best way.
Oh and please stop using things like "since you are a rookie team"
That only means we don't have FIRST experience, it does not mean we are stupid.

Straight from
www.usfirst.org "FIRST Has an Imperative, Singular Focus: to excite more young people about the accessibility, fun, and importance of science and engineering."
Sorry, but I don't see learning there, but
excitment is what FIRST is looking for. They intend (I think) to get a wider varity of students interested in enginnering, and encourage them to pursure that field of study in college.
