I agree with you. We had a chaperone on our trip that had not been involved with the team at all. In fact, she was a last minute replacement - she didn't know she was going until less than 24 hours before we left. But Thursday afternoon, she was on the floor in the pits, putting the team name on the bot with tape. She's hooked, and we are hoping she coaches next year. It is a sight to behold.
