Re: Teams I'm Inspired By
Having only been involved for a short time I found the entire organization inspiring. Starting from the top and all the way to the newest teams. The most profound statement came from an CMU professor last year at the Pgh. regional.
I was chatting with the professor and taking notice of the who's who of judges. The teams were buzzing around and running there robot like NASCAR race teams. All the time having fun. I made the statement "...I wish they really understood the brain power watching them". The professor said "...weather they (the teams) do or not. The judges DO understand what stands before them! That's why there here". It just kind of put things in prospective. The teams are competing with the same skills used in the industrial work place of today. I would even venture to say there more advanced than some twice their age, on many levels. This world is going to be far better from the inspiration of FIRST and everyone involved. Dave Dujmic
