WASH/SOAP is no different. We happened to build a "software robot" and not a mechanical one. Our 'Kit of parts' are our students and their minds. I personally have a much greater appreciation for teamwork, now having gone through the headaches of LEADING a cross-site (cross-areacode/cross-country/cross-FIRST-team/younameit) development. And I haven't even graduated college yet! (two more months) SOAP is run by Alumni and students, not professional engineers (yet).

And here's the bottom line- our SOAP StUDentS have LEARNED much more about software development, information technology, and true teamwork than any of our previous year's robot-teams combined.
