We worked in this way on all parts of the robot until our final competition
day. When our robot competed, it didn’t complete all the tasks that we
knew it could do. This was okay. The purpose of our Introduction to
Design class was not to know everything and be experienced engineers;
rather, the purpose of our class and our assignment was to push us past
our previous capabilities. We learned to be engineers, not expert robot
producers.
Engineers work hard, and they work together. We choose engineering.

for creativity
People have the misconception that engineers are just “math”
people; this isn’t true. Every problem faced has multiple solutions and
designing those solutions and finding which one is the best takes
much creativity.
