Go to Post Without mentors, you wouldn't even be participating in FIRST. Your team wouldn't exist, and FIRST as a program wouldn't exist. If it did, it'd just be another form of a science fair. - Cory [more]

Re: Thoughts on CoOpertition

There are teams that are good, and there are teams that are bad.

Often times, people on "bad" teams think their process was right (they couldn't have worked harder, smarter, faster, with more resources, etc...) and therefore anyone who somehow achieves more is flawed; They must be cheating, they must have 100 NASA engineerins, GM gives them $100k a year, etc...

It's far easier to blame the other people for being better, than to take a step back and evaluate why your team performs the way it does, and how it could be improved. It may also be useful to get to know one of these good teams, and learn at least at a basic level what they do right (at a bare minimum, I'd put money down that they work at least twice as many hours).

So, if you're unhappy with how you did, and how well the good teams did; decide to do better, make a plan and make it happen.

This is slightly off topic, but as someone pointed out to me, people only really complain when good teams do these things (6v0, 469's strategy...), but when someone else does it, it's just part of the game.
