GRT(192) Pen Pals
Hey Everyone!
I know that many teams have heard about our pen pal program but I also know that many haven't. So I'm starting this thread to...I guess, recruit people. The program basically is a way for other teams to communicate with ours. This way, both teams benefit from learning about each other and what they do on a yearly basis as well as just making a friend. This year, the program turned out to be a success and we decided that we wanted to continue it. If you are interested, then email me or just reply back to this. I will email you once I figure out who you will be corresponding with. Thank you! Anusha Thalapaneni GRT Outreach Leader |
Re: GRT(192) Pen Pals
Alright, to elaborate:
We started this during the build period and it worked. So basically, we email other teams, and our members continue writing to members of different teams. Then, at competition, we were able to meet those people who we talked to, and I just lost my train of thought. It's not a dating service, it's not really a pen pal thing, it's more of a thing where we can meet new people (make new friends, however cheesy that sounds), and uh, meet more new people. So for example, during the build period, we would comment on the status of the robot (i.e. oh we're gonna start wiring Fri, or, we're having issues w/our arm), or animation, etc. And then there were times when we (people from other teams and GRT people) would just talk about random things (i.e. weird fashion, college plans) I guess I might as well mention some teams we've been corresponding with (and met at regionals/nats)... 1097 Jesuit, 695 Beachwood, 696 Clark Magnet, 647 Cyberwolves, 365 MOE. Other teams we've contacted are 294 Beach Cities and 245 Adams. sorry for that being so long, but hopefully that clears some things up and explains a little bit more. (if you're interested, you can contact us through PMs, AIM, email, or reply to this thread too) email: athalapaneni@gunnrobotics.org, vlin@gunnrobotics.org |

Re: GRT(192) Pen Pals
I guess I forgot to mention that it would be preferable to contact people through IM or email. I doubt people are willing to take the time to send letters in envelopes and pay $.37 to send each time.

Re: GRT(192) Pen Pals
Being Pen Pals with 192 is really cool, it has definitely been a worthwhile and fun experience for everyone on my team who participates - THANKS GRT!

Re: GRT(192) Pen Pals
This sounds great! I know that I have been doing a similar thing with a few other teams, unofficially, and I would love to get to know GRT more, or any other team, and team members. My e-mail is korbinkorbinkorbin@yahoo.com and probably the more convenient way is to instant message my screen name is: korbin1011
or PM me... |

Re: GRT(192) Pen Pals
this does sound like a good idea. i tried doing this myself by meeting people on here and then trying to meet them at nationals. of course, starting only 5 days before nationals, i only ended up meeting one person :rolleyes: i would like to talk to people from other teams, i like making friends from FIRST. I met Dori from team 7 and we are really good friends.

Re: GRT(192) Pen Pals
ya meet a whol bunch of people at nationals and othe competetions and im like good friends with these people too now so this idea is relly good
