I have to echo this. Up until last year, that was our story as well. That all changed in Kansas City when we were announced as the RCA winner.

What has that done for us?

It has made our team more focused than ever. I have seen things from our students that I had always envsioned. There is more interaction between them and the engineers. We have tripled the number of projects that we work on all year long, but the most important to me is that there is more drive for our graduating seniors to get into the engineering field.

So is it worth it to do all that extra work that isn't 'robot' related. I have to say definately yes! The benefits to the future of the students outweighs anything else.
