Big Plans for 09-10?

[Joe G.]

Here are just a couple of my goals this year, mostly for my team:

-Leave at the end of the year knowing that my knowledge of robotics will not be missed, because I will have effectively taught everything I know
-Secure enough funds to make it to Atlanta this year, and meet all the awesome people of FIRST
-Go beyond building a robot. Work on focusing more on all the "other stuff" teams do.
-Collaborate more with those who wish to
-Above all, get someone, who prior to the year had been marginally interested in robotics at best, to love FIRST. I did this for the first time last year, and if you haven't, believe me, it is one of the best feelings in the world

Wow, its still sinking in for me that this is my last year in FIRST as a student. I hope I can pull off most of these, particularly the last one. FIRST has given me too much for me to leave without leaving a mark...
