In doing my pre-scouting, I see that we are welcoming rookie Team 3162, RoBoComm-X, to the Fingerlakes Regional and they are from a deaf school. Please take a moment and discuss with your teams the importance of not assuming you are being heard when you ask someone to step aside. Thanks and see ya there!  |
Yes RoBoComm-X are an amazing lot of people. We have the pleasure of sharing Bausch and Lomb's facilities with them and I am sure both our robots will do well thanks to Ron Borden and all of the mentors at Bausch and Lomb.
In an education culture that hinges on having the perfect grades and perfect SAT scores to get into the perfect colleges, I enjoy providing an environment where students are encouraged to test their own hypothesis, challenge their assumptions, and regularly fail. - Michael Corsetto [more]
