I am not posting in this thread to hurt anyones feelings, quite the opposite.

No one in FIRST should be cheering or bragging that they went through the year without any engineering or technical support. They should be just the opposite, somewhat upset that they haven't fully experienced what FIRST is all about, that is to work hand in hand (Students & Mentors) with experienced people in industry. Which is exactly why I say what I do about BBIQ, if building a robot is all that concerns you, FIRST isn't the right event for that. Building a robot, machining, welding, they are all just small parts to the FIRST experience as a whole.
