Building just isn't a priority anymore

[Akash Rastogi]

Before others try to tar and feather you, I'll just say two simple things.

1) I actually agree with you on most points and can see where you're coming from.

2) You gain nothing by posting this to Chief Delphi. Gather your thoughts, write a little more eloquently, and email your lead mentor. Set up a meeting with the main leaders on the team. Its an issue that you can solve, just work on it in private.

As for advice:

Show the other students how much satisfaction and pride they can gain from having a more successful robot, I really think that's the only way to show them they need to step up their game robot-wise, and focus on what this robotics competition is really about. I'll get some flak for this, but I've always wondered how students would react to cuts on the team.
