Hey John....you're coming across a little hostile. I think that Pontiac's people gave a full accounting of how they operate in the previous few messages. But more to the point, why should they or any other team have to defend themselves like this? Dean says repeatedly, that the point is not necessarily education, but inspiration. Pontiac and Delphi have been nothing but gracious and always willing to give assistance, parts, help in a crisis to any team who asks. They have bailed my team out on several occasions.

Your comments about their financial situation also comes across poorly. It was inappropriate for you to put comments in print like that, when I am fairly certain that you don't know the reality. THe kids at Pontiac Central spend the entire school year and beyond doing fundraising, writing newsletter, working on Chairman's awards activities, teaching middle school kids, running tournaments for them, learning about the machine, creating animations, in addition to working with Delphi.

FIRST has had a huge and major impact on both the big high schools in Pontiac, and has provided fabulous opportunities for a LOT of kids over the past 6 years or so. These kids are not living in an affluent area, and Delphi and the engineers and teachers have been true 'stand up' adults and mentors for these students.

So lighten up John. You don't even know these people.
