The power of collaborative proof-reading is amazing... Also cut out things that are not specific to the mentor. The judges are judging the mentor not the team...

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.

GO DANVILLANS!!

Amen to that. I have a freind that could cut down 300 words with keeping the content so the night it was due I asked if he could work his magic and cut only 100. The thing is that he loves this stuff. He did all the grammer for our Future City essay and he cut it from 1,100 to 700. It was amazing. I guess I'm lucky to have someone like that.
