Re: Question of the Week!!! (9/3/04)
 

I would have a really hard time NOT being on my team...but if I had to pick, I would go with a team that is very similar to ours, collaborates w/ others AND makes fantastic robots. This team would be 237.
I am always looking to learn about improving public outreach efforts. A year on 237 would help me. Recently, 237 visited our team to ask us if we would like to help collaborate with them for a fundraiser, and I was astonished at how similar they are to us, and how willing they were to ask neighboring teams to collaborate. Both of our teams are from the NW corner of CT, and therefore in a very rural location, which means that it is very hard for us to find large corperations willing to donate lots of $$. It's great that they were willing to collaborate with other teams to help do this. I also found that they were a very friendly bunch, which is always important. I was impressed by their ability to organize, which is something my team needs to learn to do better. They are about more than building great robots (which they happen to do consistently); they are willing to reach out to the teams around them in a spirit of cooperation. That virtue is something that ALL of us could learn more about. I would like to be on a team that exemplifies this quality.

I wanna be a real man in pink
 

If I could only choose one, I would want to be on team 233. I can only imagine what it would be like to work inside the NASA facilities and the people I'd meet. They always have a strong robot, and are proud to show off their team color. I have the upmost respect for this team. Perhaps pink would look good on me?

I would choose 254, 103, 175, 22, 16, 120, 47, 151 or 191.

Why - they are all National Chairman's winners and part of the Hall of Fame.
They have continued their strong chairman's winning work and have taken themselves to the next level of service to FIRST and their communities.

To me, the Chairman's is the greatest honor a team can receive, and I would love to have a season of learning with one of these great ones.

Good Question

I to would choose a rookie team for the anticipation, ignorance and excitement for winning one match at an event. Then I would want to get back to my team as soon as the season was over.

469- for the technical side of things

233- to experience that team Spirit

217- for the overall experience, as crazy as that sounds to my team. I have a small phobia of Thunder Chickens but hey confronting your fears is good medicine. They would be my number one choice.

393- since they are 4 miles from where I live and my team is 40 mile away but I may fear the boss on that team. :ahh:

Like us?? ;D
Just kidding :P

[edit]
Whoops, hit the reply too fast..

I'd honestly love to work with/on a team who's been doing this relatively successfully for years.. mainly because I could learn so much from them. I'm too much of a rookie to help any other teams out, so the next best thing is to learn and maybe bring that experience back to my "home" team..

It'd be interesting, at the very least.

Buut I don't have any specific team numbers since I don't remember specific team numbers :P Maybe team HYPER because they helped us out quite a bit at regionals fixing up our robot (the little glitches here and there) and making certain parts better.. I'm eternally grateful for that, and wish to learn from them :)

I admire team 1038(the remenants of 144 Who) the Thunderhawks and 103 Cybersonic. Not only sporting on field excellence but also have an impressive infrastucture that make them model FIRST teams.
