It's not as simple as collecting survey responses as it turns out and if you think about the number of teams that don't have all of their students registered in STIMS, it is an even larger issue for teams to track student/mentor involvement. How many FRC teams have internal political battles because "that person isn't really on the team"?

After I asked my question to Frank about this exact subject on the AMA he did in the fall I was put in touch with Michelle Long at FIRST. Michelle is awesome and this is a problem that she is actively working on along with many others.

So, yes, it is an issue, yes FIRST is aware of it, and yes they are doing something about it and you can expect to see them continue to improve in this area.
