Go to Post It would be wise to consider the reasoning behind the statement rather than the statement itself. Sometimes they are right... other times their statement is incomplete... and other times they really do have no clue what they are talking about. - dtengineering [more]

I do agree with there, but what can you do about kids who dont get involved. On our team, members can be a part of whatever group they want to be. It is all ready for them, there are more experienced students and mentors there to teach them, all they need to do is commit to doing it. The problem is that many don't. This is disappointing, however it is not all bad. Not all members on our team do things with the robot. We have some members wo work on PR, award submissions, and Special projects. We also have 1 student who is a rookie this year, and is fully commited and interested in the robot, however he lives 30+ minutes away, so he cant come as often as some. I'm sure however that there are just some kids who are just along for the ride, and like the competitions. My rookie year I was a programmer and I only went in about 2-3 days a week. The competitions were fun, however the next years will be even better. The last two years I have been going in alot, this year I have been there every day except for 2 or 3 because I had to go to band. It really is more fun when you contribute more because you see something succeding that YOU worked on, it feels good. I agree with you here, however I dont this this applys to the dancing very much. People still enjoy the matches, it is just like watching a sporting event, the dancing is just a fill in.
