I am going to take a bit of Andy's note here and make a point......

... Everyone needs to pitch in on the menial tasks. There should be no "freshman jobs" where only the rookies sweep, sort bolts, or clean up. Even the veterans should do the crappy jobs. However, this is also a two way street... the rookies need to understand that they need to learn the basics before they get to the higher level design stuff. Before they jump in and start .....

Numerous posts on Delphi have centered on Freshmen....from a major string on "what do you allow freshmen to do" to one recently where a person noted how good they are about cleaning up after regionals and the major part of their freshmen in cleaning.

Our team "grew up" once it was established that some freshmen are better contributors than some seniors and it was kindly noted that if a senior wants to "exert their authority" towards a person BECAUSE they are underclassmen, then the senior is VERY welcome to leave the team.

We do not have "freshmen" jobs. I totally understand that many upperclassmen know more about FIRST than underclassmen, their role is not to use it as a form of authority, but to teach underclassmen everything they know.

Putting down freshmen does nothing to build a team, it only causes division and starts a problem that will carry on forever.

Sorry for ranting, but if you want some success, treat others as YOU wish to be treated.
