Re: The Future of Team 71
Mr Bill gave me the two most important lessons in building FIRST robot I ever had.
#1 The three most important components in a FIRST robot are drivetrain, drivetrain and drivetrain. You simply can't have a good robot without a good drive.
#2 Mr Bill's Golden rule - It's my gold so I rule. There has to be one person on the team that makes the final decisions and settles all disputes.
These two simple rules has done more to move us forward today as a team than any other thing anyone in FIRST has ever taught me.
Many thanks to Mr Beatty and all he has done for FIRST and us hear at The Digital Goats.
