The philosophy summed up as "There is no way we could ever catch them. Let's do it!" sums up what I try to achieve with my kids. Kids *are* competitive, and one of the most important lessons that FIRST teaches (IMNHO) is that no matter how good you are, or how hard you try, or how much you do, there are others out there who want it just as badly or more, who may or may not have the same or greater advantages that you have, so you'd better step up!
