I guess it depends on how you define "doing well" or "successful" when it comes to a FIRST team. Does it mean winning awards or positively impacting the lives of those that come in contact with the team?

I have found that chasing awards isn't always the best way to get them and I dont think any of us do this for the plastic trophies or the blue banners.
