For Mentors Only: Inspiring Youth

[Daniel_LaFleur]

The end user (the drivers in our case) are not going to know if the code in the RC is brilliantly written, clever and concise, all they will know is "when I push the joystick the robot goes forward...."

and the dead-honest truth is, thats all the end user really cares about.

Ken is so on target here.

The end user does not care who finished the project. He does not care what problems you had to overcome. He does not care how much work went into designing / testing / building whatever widget you designed / tested / built.

All they care about is that it does what you say it does, in a fashion that is easy to use and reliable. Lets face it, in the real world very few are interested in the design problems that went into your MP3 player....all they care is that it works out-of-the-box and all the time.
