Re: Elite (invite only) FIRST teams

When I joined my team, I could not tell you the difference between FRC and FLL, but am now a student leader/mentor and hold FIRST very close.
See, if you had read the previous posts, you would know that very few (if any) people would be turned away from joining, and that would only happen if it was CLEAR that there wasn't interest, or that there would be time and devotion conflicts. As for the Inspiration part, how is teaching students to design, build, and operate in a business-like environment NOT inspiring? I fail to see the connection there...
