Go to Post FIRST is again mirroring real life. And in real life, when we build and design robotic and automated systems, it's safety first. Hitting a human in real life loses a lot more than 30 points. - Fred Agnir [more]

Looking for some brutally honest feedback...

First off, i know that anonymous accounts are frowned upon, so apologies for that, but I am looking to get some brutally honest feedback without my team knowing who this necessarily is. Anyways... I wrote a rant about some of the most recent pitfalls of our team, and was advised not to post it. But, I still have a few questions for the FRC community.

Long-rant short, our team probably will not exist next year, for a couple reasons:
  1. Our team as a whole does not have its heart in the activity.
  2. Our mentors - Don't get me wrong, they are truly awesome people, but they either don't really have their heart in it, or they are doing the work that the students should be doing.
  3. Our students - Yet again, we have some truly intelligent and hardworking students, but they lack the commitment that is showing up on time, learning and doing some of the more 'boring' stuff, and taking initiative. One of our "captains" taught themselves over the summer all the ins and the outs of the robot, and thus they are REALLY good at making the robot be awesome.
It really upsets me that we are even thinking about the possibility of the team not existing next year. I truly want the team to thrive, and hopefully come back and work with the team.



Anyways, I have a couple of questions for the CD community:
  1. Do you have seniors who do a lot of the work on the team?
  2. Do your mentors do a large chunk of the robot work?
  3. How involved are the majority of students on your team? Do they do a lot of the work, or do mentors?
  4. Do your students learn more by themselves or more from other students and mentors?

If you would prefer to reply in a more "anonymous" fashion, feel free at: https://goo.gl/forms/ksZbCXXo1NEj6Cbh1

Thank you for your honest feedback.
