Re: What Happened to 968 (RAWC)?

Unfortunately, West Covina is located some what of a distance from major engineering corporations.

When I was a mentor on 968 (2008-2011), I tried to pull in additional mentoring resources from local companies and schools. Sadly, we did not generate enough interest. As David mentioned, 968 has not had a mentor that was over 28 years of age or had a significant amount of "real engineering" experience in the field.

That being said, the majority of our mentor base came out of willing college students who really wanted to be a part of the program; sadly, they usually move on a few years later once they graduate.

Regardless of losing a significant amount of experience, 968 still strives to build quality machines and still manages to do so with VERY limited resources. Richard still continues to inspire students perform their very best regardless of hardship and heartbreak that has come to the team.
