Go to Post To the best engineers, scientists, and thinkers, something that is "hard" isn't something to avoid; it is something that begs for us to prove that we can do it. STEM is built on the very idea of trying something, failing, and trying something different. - Bryan Herbst [more]

Re: Corporations Build Robots - If You Don't Care, Stop Reading

I'll just post a quick reminder: the original intent of this thread (though it may have been redundant with other threads) was to find out A. if there are teams that have corporations or groups of adult mentors exclusively design and build the robot and B. is this fact talked about in the FIRST community.

I do think that, as part of an organization, we have a full right to express our opinions about what policies or organizational philosophies would best fulfill the goals of that organization. So, Tim, for example, to answer your question, "Who cares?", I think you can read over the posts in this thread and see that in fact quite a few people do care. If you don't care, that's fine.

If anyone finds this thread to be uninteresting, boring, etc., that's fine too. Really quite a perfectly valid opinion because as some have said this subject may have been beaten into the ground. But, and I hope no one takes offence at this, no one's forcing you to read it.

I will say that I am quite impressed by the people who are making arguments for why mentorish-run teams can be successful. Though I would not want this model for our team at the present time, you've gone a long way in convincing me about the fact that some good can come of this. You all have made me think about this in a new way - which I appreciate.

Thank you all,
Paul
