Re: A FIRST Giant Falls...
Posted by Michael Martus.   [PICTURE: SAME | NEW | HELP]
Coach on team #47, Chief Delphi, from Pontiac Central H.S. and Delphi Automotives Systems. Posted on 9/10/2000 8:27 AM MST In Reply to: A FIRST Giant Falls... posted by aTm on 9/9/2000 11:50 PM MST: This is now the second great team to 'fall' to the pressures of being such a great example to all FIRST teams. Mike B. and the Boston Edison team dropped out also after being a chairmans winner and teacher of the year. The stress of maintaining a high level excellance is indeed very great and very real. This very condition has been a hot topic at the tables of FIRST for several years. No clear answers have come to light. Chief Delphi is doing constant revisions/reorganizations and 'Thinking Smarter' about our activities so as not to 'Burn-out' key people that make activities for our youth happen. But yet we try to maintain our high standard of activities and committment to FIRST. I have heard from several other teams ( no quite so famous )that will not be competing this year due to job related/business stress. They also cite Money, Teacher time and engineer time as a major consideration. How are other teams dealing with this real possibility? What are you doing to survive? Hey FIRST are you listening? Be warned! We all need to TALK. I am in SHOCK........no Baxter Bomb Squad. |
