This is exactly what I love about FIRST so much. Everybody looks at the same question in a different way, and comes up with a different correct response.

Personally, I think that the most imporatant charecteristic of successful teams is the leadership of that team. I think teams that have an outstanding engineer (or teacher or parent etc) have the key. I think have those people who can motivate you to be involved, those people who make you eat, drink, & breath FIRST are what makes good teams GREAT! I think this brings the attitude that Colleen talked of, and the interest that Ken mentioned. I think having people on your team like Dr Joe, Raul and people like them are what make those teams great.

Hats off to all the coaches, engineers, teachers, parents and volunteers that make FIRST possible.

Happy Holidays!

: Do you think it is money, engineers, facilities, or something else?
