Perhaps I define success in a different way than you do, but my conviction always lays with one of the best quotes I've ever heard:

Build a good team, good robots will follow.

Akash,
I like your thinking... and I like the way you define success.
It isn't about plastic trophies and banners... it is about inspiration and the way student's AND mentors lives are changed.

Having a real TEAM does that... working together.
Students and mentors seeing that they CAN do this and have fun and satisfaction in the process.

What more success can one have than developing life long friendships and a personal satisfaction in knowing that one can make a difference.... students and mentors alike...

thanks for posting
