Re: Responsibilities of a Mentor

Sorry, that was an editing mistake. Both sides of the process count as black magic.

Also, you just pretty much declared FIRST useless! Cheers!

If you don't take the time to READ what I wrote, ALL of it, then I won't waste my time.

I didn't say FIRST was useless, I said that I could build a robot, that would be competitive, using materials provided by FIRST, WITHOUT using engineering process. I said NOTHING whatsoever about relation of that to FIRST, likelihood of teams to do that, or any such thing.

Now, would I do that? NO!!!! That's because the engineering process tells me that unless I build something better than a boxbot, I'm going to get creamed. And then I use the same engineering process to build a robot.

I would suggest reading the full post before replying, in future.
