Re: FRC 747 - Flight Crew, Cleared For Takeoff!
 

So I'm just curious because no on else has asked this but what were some of the polices that were enacted that would have made it hard on the team?

I know one of the teams I used to mentor left the school district because the director of the career center they had us working out of didn't like FIRST as a program, really weird, and made it really hard on the team to get resources. They were able to retain their number but had a long fight too keep it and all the old robots and some of the tools.

Also how were you able to transition to the number 747. If you were forming a new team wouldn't you have to get a rookie number. The only way I understand that you can get another number that isn't a rookie number is if there was an old team outside the school district that has been since disbanded, and that you have now since restarted.

Assuming they had more than five kids on the old team, they are a New Veteran. (Bullet point 6.)

You are correct Billfred, given the current composition of our new team, we would qualify as a "New Veteran".

As far as this goes, we have been in lengthy deliberations with the administration, if you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me and I can run you through specifics.

While I am sad to see 869 go, I'm glad the last season for 869 was a great one even with the unfortunate circumstances. I am also happy that there still is a program for the amazing students of 747.

Congrats on a successful rebranding. I hope this season is fantastic for your new-ish team.

PS. How can I get a shirt? I totally want/might need one. Also, I apologize in advance for all of the airplane puns that will happen.
