I have to admit, this competition sometime have really tough challenges, not to mention the frustration. But what keep me going is how much I like doing this project, and the fun in working with the people (and of course showing off my shop skills and tools). I must say the interest for the competition is extreemly important. That's what keep the people in learning more about engineering to build a better robot. But sometimes nights after nights of work, people get really tired of the kind of work and machining we do when building the robot, but they kept on pushing just because they want to do it, and that's how one of our best robot get produced.
Great interests motivate the students to be better on their own, without our mentors or student leaders telling them what to do, and that kind of self-motivation, I think, is the also the most important factor to have a winning team.
