Different thoughts on why there might be fewer questions from students on CD now then there were in the past.

The makeup of the Internet has changed in the past 10 years. 10 years ago there was no Skype, Google+, or Facebook. Chief Delphi (and the little-used official FIRST forums) were perhaps one of the only places that members of the FIRST community could network online.

Now, on a daily basis, there is a ton of FIRST interaction and discussion on Facebook on dozens of pages and groups. Teams can help one another via Skype or Google+. Teams have better websites than ever with more resources. There is a higher number of experienced mentors in general, and events like "kit bot build days" are more common, helping bring new teams up to speed with greater success than before.

I don't think it's a change in the attitude of students, more a change in how this interaction occurs.

I know students on our team are never hesitant to post on Chief Delphi when they have a question, but often the problem gets solved another way first.
