QUESTION OF THE WEEK!!! [08-05-01]
Hi all, team forum happened last Wednesday, and a lot of team advisors/engineers had a chance to meet with each other again to discuss the competition without the enormous stress during a regional/national. Hopefully it was both a productive AND peaceful experience ( unlike the actual competition)… To us “outsiders” who didn’t attend the forum, we can only read notes from attendees for a glimpse of what actually happened…

team forum notes from a few people

So, with that in mind, here is the question of the week for both “insiders” AND “outsiders” of the team forum…

QUESTION 8/5/01 : What key issues from the team forum do you think are important in the sense that they are “immediate problems that need to be solved”, or “constructive suggests that will keep FIRST functional successful for the many years coming”, or “controversial issues that raised a lot of discussions/arguments”, or “things that made you extremely happy/glade (or just plain old ‘can’t stop smiling’) because someone brought them up”…

I saw couple of engineers/advisors started posting again because they were dying to share what they went through, so maybe we can break some off-season trends and make this place alive again!

P.S. I am open to suggestions of any questions you want as the "QUESTION OF THE WEEK!!!"... So e-mail me at ken_leung@hotmail.com and show me what you got... By the way... I am still waiting for the first suggestion...

From an outside point of view, I think the issue of limiting nationals is really big. Something needs to be done but the question is what should be done. There were many things brought up that needed to be addressed but I think this is very important to deal with as soon as possible. If we wait to long there will be a sizeable problem.

Definitly what to include in the kit.
