I just have to say that I whole heartedly agree with you. There are lots of different types of FIRST teams doing things in lots of different ways. And I also have been on ones where the kids play larger roles in the construction of the robot. I like this kind of team, and this is the type I would want to be a part of. I learned an incredible amount the time I spent working with engineers building the bot, and I wouldn't personally have wanted it any other way. I think it's absolutely great when the students are deeply involved in the design and construction of robots. And I think it's awsome that many teams are able to build competitive robots on shoestring budgets. But, you know what, kids on other types of teams enjoy FIRST just as much. The big thing all teams do is introduce students to the world of engineering, and I think this is one of the major goals of FIRST. As for team 47, I think they do this and much more. They do a lot of good things for the school, the community, and most of all the students on their team. Just because their kids might not be spending hours milling out parts doesn't mean they arn't learning and gaining a lot from the FIRST experience. I know I would absolutley love to sit down with their engineers in one of thier brainstorming sessions. They are obviously incredibly brilliant to design and build the robots we've seen year after year. I know they inspire me and members of my team to keep striving, trying to reach their level. I'm sure they inspire their students in much the same way, and that's what matters. I look forward to trying to compete with teams like ChiefDelphi, and nickel and dime basement builders, this year and the years to come.
