Re: How should we react to posts?



it's always inspiring to see professionals do work - obviously, I am talking about inspiring for the students to see what they can do *on their own skills*... Sure, it's great to see NASA engineers build the space shuttle - that's not what I am getting at...

I build awesome rockets too, on my own time and in my own shop - when I am mentoring, I am trying my damnest to have the students learn to be able to do it... not turn it into a sweatshop for my own enjoyment - but that's just me... I'll have to admit that it is a difficult line to draw, it's the 20th hour and nothing works - what then. I can't say that I understand other's in their own situation. My opinion is that the students get the robot commensurate with their own skills and knowledge... It's terrific that I know how to put one together, but that's not the idea...

I always congratulate other teams for their awesome job... and if it turns out to be a space shuttle job - that's great too, I'd still admire it for what it is... But just too bad for some of these students who do get the short end... FWIW, I haven't seen an awesome robot without the students behind it yet... Even if I see one, I promise not to point it out
