Simply and perfectly put.

This may have been said before, but bears repeating.

If you are unsatisfied with your end product, or performance, grumbling and venting on these forums is not what you should do. What this should be, instead, is an opportunity. Work hard, and improve. One of the goals of FIRST is to inspire, and the feeling of personal accomplishment, pride, and confidence from having improved yourself and your team is a great source of inspiration. You may not be as successful as Wildstang, or Hammond. But this inspiration, and character gained from such a learning experience as FIRST, is plenty a reward unto itself.
