Go to Post But no matter how you place, the thing to watch for is the character change in the team members. The trophies are only important for a few hours. The character that is built will last a lifetime. - BrothersKeepers [more]

Re: What makes a "Powerhouse"?

I feel like you forgot one of the important things that everyone one seems to forget.

HAVE FUN: Knowing when to relax and walk away/take a break to prevent burn out and overly stressing your team members is very important. I think you'll find a lot of top teams have a game night, play dodge ball, and have team dinners or other non-working get togethers to keep everyone fresh and reuvenated and remind them of the other important part of the program.

At the end of build we always take a week off and do no robot related things for a week as a cool down. Also the mentors usually have what we call the widows and orphans breakfast where our spouses, signifcant others, and children all go out to breakfast with us at the end of build.
