Warren-
I am glad to see that you looked at slight problems in such a positive light. The feeling a team has when they do the robot themselves is an overwhelming feeling of pride. This year, our robot had quite a bit of engineer help, but when the students pull together to run regular maintenance or fix what is broken, it makes me so porud that they can have 10 people all who have their hands on something in the robot, with no engineers involved.
When our team competed for the CDI, we built with no engineer help, and small bits and pieces of help from our teachers. Even though the robot didn't actually function until after the picking had already happened (and we didn't get picked), we were so proud when we actually found the problem and fixed it. We didn't care that we didn't get picked and we didn't have the chance to win, we were porud that we built a working robot! YEAH! That's all that mattered.
I really enjoyed your story, and I think you have alot to be proud of.
-Erin
