Re: The 6 Week Build Season and 'Mentor Burnout'
If someone from FIRST reads this I propose that a survey question be added about the six week build season to all teams. If there is an overwhelming majority on one side or the other from the end of the year survey then I propose that FIRST implements this change into the FRC program. I personally agree that it would lessen mentor/student burnout for the build season. One other major thing that has popped into my mind is a question for the teams that build a practice robot. How has building a practice robot correlates with student grades. Do they trend up or down after the build season. This would be the only major problem of eliminating the 6 week build season.

Team spirit is not all about the tools/noise makers. The Tigertrons didn't have any sort of noise makers. Consider other aspects of the award by making signs, mascots, cheers, and how you interact with other teams. - team222badbrad [more]
