Megga dittos to that last caller... with one additional comment... What you just said seems to be what FIRST is all about. Anyone, regardless of age, sex, or creed can find inspiration if they are exposed to something that inspires them. For one person it might be a good song, for someone else it might be some book they thought great and were able to relate to... But there are tons and tons of people who just love the idea of robot building. Anyone with a desire to be involved should be welcomed. Not everyone is going to be the head of ASFAB (I’ve never even been inside a machine shop)... but gifted in a particular area or not, anyone can be involved and learn. Excluding people from a team based on sex is ridiculous… and purposefully, strategically leaving out someone and not welcoming outsiders is the practice that makes up the backbone of hated and inefficient bureaucracy.

I would go even further and say always hate your robot. Keep breaking, iterating, and trying to figure out how to change the robot from week one of build season to champs. - saikiranra [more]
