Thanks again, like I mentioned I am seeking ways for local universities and their students to get involved and support the teams in San Antonio, Texas.

General Motors has always been a large supporter of the Co-op program at the University of Waterloo. This past season, Ian and I were hired specifically to lead the operation of Team 1114. Julien, our programmer was another co-op student who was working within the engine plant, who volunteered his time to the project.

It was a great setup, as it allowed Ian and I plenty of time to work with team, taking a huge weight of the shoulders of the other mentors. Also, it gave us valuable experience in the realm of project management, in a non-threatening environment.

Even though this was a GM project, it worked perfectly within the frame work of the co-op program at our university. Also, being on a work term, as opposed to a school semester allowed us to focus fully on FIRST, instead of having to keep an eye on our studies. I couldn't fathom dedicating the amount of time I did, if I was taking a full course load.
