Re: Competition Professionalism

Just remember, the competition is not about corporate sponsors. Yes, they help, but the competition is not all about them. You've got a lot of high schoolers too.

The competition is not all about the students either. Dave said something about that a while ago (I think the last time the mentor/student debate came up, or the time before that).

The competition is about the teams. Corporate sponsors, high school students, engineers, administrators, parents, and mentors all have their place. The hardest part is balancing all the elements.

Sometimes, the best attractant for a sponsor/mentor is that they can feel young again. That said, the same thing can also be a repellent.

I don't know here. I have mixed feelings.
