What is success?
Is it a victory on the field? Is it a trophy or banner?
Is it doubling the number of students (compared to the past for the area served by the team) who choose a STEM vocation after grade school?
Is it evolving into a K-12 spectrum of diverse STEM programs that involves 20% of the area's students, at one time or another, in a non-trivial, out-of-class, STEM activity (biology, meteorology, FLL, VIQ, FTC, VRC, FRC, BEST, AUSV, SeaPerch, Cyber Defense, rocketry/drones, Eco/Solar House, ...)?
Is it simply percolating along, annually involving 5% of a school in an inspirational STEM activity, while staying on budget and on schedule?
Is it playing a key role in convincing families and businesses that they want to move into an area because children will get a good education there?
What is success for FRC???
What does your School Board think success is?
Is it reminding the community to re-elect the school board, because the board "gets it"?

PS: If it all gets too complicated, just return to the basics. Expose as many *students* as you can, to fun opportunities, that didn't exist for *them* before the team(s) existed.
I'd say start working on other forms of wireless communication. Scout using Morse Code, hand signals, light flashes (LOST anybody?)... Paper cups and string are cheap too... - AndyB [more]
