He's been on in the last couple of weeks. And, with one of his team's drivers being the one starting the thread, it's a safe bet that they know each other and how to contact each other via other means.

You have a personal mentor?
Or does he just do programming and you are the only programmer?

Don't worry I chatted with my other mentor (Close friend of the one you posted) and he actually agrees with me on some stuff. He says he dislikes FIRST competition year by year, he thinks that the older times were better, probably bad experiences with WindRiver last year

We have 2 programming mentors and about 3 programmers, but the other 2 programmers did not really contribute to the actual code... I doubt they can even use java. My mentor will test all programmers on C next year to weed out the noobs

practice for the driver is crucial. trust me.
and thats a good attitude to have. go into next year wanting to kick more butt than ever before. fund raise like crazy so you guys can go to 2 regionals. continuous improvement.
and competition and FRC is what you make it.

Re: After Coming Back From The LA Regional: My Thoughts On FIRST

I clicked on the rapidly growing thread dreading another kid bashing FRC and just being arrogant.

But I like this thread. It shows progression of a person's opinion for the betterment of his own team.

Kudos to you David, for actually taking advice given and hearing people out.

You could get your team to make pig in blankets and sell em by the dozen? That is what my team does. Though there is the point of having to endure making these things xD

My team gave out little tridents in the competition this year... we made like 300 of those... Im thinking of making an app or game for the iPhone or Android (or both) and selling it. May be Xbob Live even

my team does an E-Waste event and also sells Hexbugs at community events in our town. both of those raise substantial profit.
We also apply for grants and ask for support from local businesses.
