Umm...we have the weirdest team with the weirdest talent?

Weirdest? Among FIRST teams? A bold claim indeed. :)

Well, it is true we don't have any FULL TIME Engineers, but believe me, we're trying to get some.

We have a theme song!

And ive heard it so many times it haunts my dreams....

we have Bill:




-Team19

Ok... Well, I was wrong about the getting full time engineers thing. We only have Ronnie Tront, John Vukovich, and Matt Rizzo helping us along with a few additional engineers who are parents of some of our team members.

Our Team (648 Quad City Elite) represents two states. We are from Sherrard, IL and Davenport IA. Our robot name is Oiy (Organized Iowa/Illionis Youth). :D

bill, bill, i know i've seen that kid before... did team 19 go to nationals?


we're the only team with a lucky piece of wood (it has its own hanging place on one of the closet doors the school gives us, all to its self when we have no storage space and hang all our tools on those doors...)

yup yup.. good ole bill.. he was our driver last year at nationals... he's special...

We may actually be the team with the most school districts covered by our team area. This year, we have members from Waverly, NY; Athens, Troy, Towanda, and Northeast Bradford, PA. Our team area covers in addition another 3 school districts, one Christian School, and many homeschools.

We cover two states and two counties. We pull members from small cities to villages with a popultaion of less than 50.

We branched from one team which is now three teams..84, 222, 284.

..... we have a ManDad :p

Our team is special because our team was started by alumni from the Gila Monster that are attending the University of Arizona the best school ever!!!! Also because we have all known each other for a couple of years and really love robotics.

Did your team attend the 2001-02 ramp riot?

we got ducks

We're the only team that has managers who don't manage and moderators who don't moderate :P and we're proud of it!

We're S.P.A.M. and we got capes!!!:D
