Re: Proudest Moment

Proudest Moment this season has got to be the Chesapeake regional, with that being my last competition and my team coming home in the top 5 and an award in hand. For all of the seniors including myself that might not get a chance to return next year it is nice to know the team is heading in the right direction, and will continue on passing on the gift it has given to me, the since of pride in seeing something you have worked on for weeks come together and do exactly what you meant it to do.

Driving a Finalist robot at GLR :) It was really exciting being only a rookie also (I had no clue what was going on half the time, lol). I have various times I was proud like capping over a high stacked goal, or flawlessly capping the center goal, etc.

I will post mine later ...

Our proudest moments(as far as I'm concerned) would have to be when we were selected for the finals at the Chesapeake Regional, and when our team helped our alliance win during the second round of the quarter finals. We gave another team a bump to help them get out of a goal they were stuck in, and we pushed a tetra on that wasn't quite on, which I think broke a row.

Re: Proudest Moment

Wooden Thunder is kind of short. Even though it was designed and built to score three tetras on the center goal, our little guy was intended to be fast, nimble, and a prolific capper of the short goals. We figured that the 15-foot bots would duke it out on the center goal and we would score all the others.

My proudest moments, strangely, are the two times we capped the center goal in a competition. Once we over-capped a tetra from the other alliance on the center goal. It was like watching an 8th-grader dunk over Shaq.

(For what it's worth, except for the three rounds when our arm had been disabled by a programmer [aarg!] sticking his [aargh!] hands in the electrics, our strategy worked fine. We usually scored 3-5 tetras per round, and went 5-2 in our non-crippled rounds. If we hadn't -- I am not making this up -- had five different driving teams we probably would have done better.)

Re: Proudest Moment

I have quite a few proudest moments of this season. I'm so proud of my freshman for getting the entire team all pepped up and cheering. And I'm proud of the pit crew for working 13 hours straight on thursday of our first regional. And I'm proud of the drivers, for doing a great job, even while I was getting the hang of the coaching thing (It was my first year coaching). And the team in general. Their attitude and enthusiasm. It was a good year.

Re: Proudest Moment

My proudest moment this season was our ability to cap the goal in autonomous. This is my third year on the team. I have seen my team getting better and more effective. This year everything ran much smoother. I have great hopes for us this season. I know my team did their job, now i am just praying and ready for action :cool:

Re: Proudest Moment

So far....

I thought it was when we made it through GLR with no breakdowns. I congratulated the team at our next meeting...

...but then I was even more proud when they said that it DID break down. And they fixed it. And none of the mentors or coaches ever knew it. Not that we would have helped them much, but they didn't even ASK us for help.

Re: Proudest Moment

Our young team of 10 hung together very well during the grueling build season. they not only got the 'bot together in time to ship it, but did a fantastic job decorating the crate. They performed very well as a team, and managed to win Highest Rookie Seed at UTC.

Performance in the game was not what brought out their best. Adversity showed me how great they are. We had some technical difficulties that hurt us in the quarterfinals, and we had to pull ourselves out for the second match. Instead of looking for someone to blame, more than one team member said that he or she should know more; we didn't have enough redundancy built in.

I hope that they can keep this great attitude and pass it on to the new members as we grow the team. They really made it all worthwhile for me.

Re: Proudest Moment

The proudest moment for our team has to be what has just happened at the end of awards in Cleveland. We were listening and it came time for chairmans award and everyone was anxious and waiting the upcoming disappointment. My proudest moment has to have been when they started reading what the judges had to say about the winner and I recognized what they were saying as the same stuff that our whole team has been saying to the judges all weekend. When they finally announced it we all exploded. It is a great feeling that words can't even begin to describe. Its a great thing to finally get in the senior year of me, and many others, especially those who have worked so hard on it for the past four years.

Re: Proudest Moment

I would have to say my proudest moment was breaking our own record by a score of 121-8 in the semifinals of the Chesapeake regional. winning it and going to the nationals is a close second

Re: Proudest Moment

Hmm, my proudest moment would have to be from the Waterloo Regional this weekend. First, for those of you who don't know, I am from team 1503, part of the Niagara First Alliance. the NiagaraFIRST alliance consists of teams 1114, 1503, and 1680.

Anyway... this week, we all took home an award, so my proudest moment(s) were when simbotics (1114) took home the judges award for giving birth to 1503 and 1680. When we (spartonics, 1503) got to take home the rookie inspiration award, (lets just say I was so happy I jumped on Karthik), and when Fesstronics (1680) took home rookie all-star. I was so proud of all our teams. by the time I finished clapping, my hands were almost bleeding.

I have to say that the #1 proudest moment so far this year was listing to the 2004 Philadelphia regional Woodie Flowers winner ( Joe Perrito 365) announce the 2005 winner, Lou Rosanio 365!! I along with many other students worked on his essay. We are all extremely lucky to be able to work with someone who is so dedicated to the FIRST and the FLL program. Watching Joe's face as he read the pre made speech they gave him and then hearing him announce his friend and team mates name was one of the top 2 experiences of my 3 years in FIRST, My number one experience ever was watching Joe Perrito win Woodie Flowers..

I am sure there will be more to come, but i don't know many things that can top a mentor getting recognized for there hard work and dedication to FIRST.

I know I already posted but like I said in my other post there will be more to come..
Philly was my last regional as a student on MOE. I kept thinking all day "This will be the last time I will be here as a student on the team, the last time i will be able to talk to the judges and work on the robot". Today MOE won the Philly regional and also the Chairmans award. I am one of the students who works on the Chairmans team, Winning those awards while i was near my best friends was the best expernce I have ever had, what a way to go out as a student. I can't wait to see what my last National's as a student will be like....

Re: Proudest Moment

Being on the field driving with 33 and 1112 as our alliance won the only regional in 2004 with 2 fields, 74 teams, and international status, which 639 has attended since its beginning in 2002. Brought tears to my eyes. The Greater Toronto Regional in 6 days is the most anticipated event of the year for me and most members of this team. As for this year, I am very proud of the fact that we went into this season with enough money for one regional event and now will attend two regionals in addition to the championship event. There are 11 veteran members leaving after this year so the team effort has been tremendous.
