I?ve learned that despite my wishes and hopes, a team without faculty and/or administration support is doomed to fold, despite the machining and engineering resources it may have. Oh. I also learned how to use a lathe and a milling machine last fall, but I guess that doesn?t count because that wasn?t the build period.

No, really, I'm not disappointed...

I know this is a 'what we learned' thread, but I disagree with that. Our mentor quit during week 2 and our school administration told us that we couldn't go on because they were worried about the "Integrity of the school," and we still completed a bot.

So I guess I learned that every snag can be overcome.
