Just yesterday, several members of Team 1648, myself included, went to the Atlanta City Hall to recieve an Honorary Proclamation of Achievment from the Atlanta City Council. Nice plaque...

Funny how that picture disappeared!!! I have an update on my post earlier. ABC and St. Petersburg Times want to come and see us next wednesday at our school for some more interviews and then they want to come see us watch Extreme Makeover that sunday and get a live feed of us watching and put another article out of us and our participation in the project.

We got recognized at city hall a few week back at a school board meeting. Also team 1236 which is Galileo was there so we were pretty much recognized together. It's our rookie year and I think its their third year. I'm not sure.

Funny you say that. Last year, when the Mars Exploration Rovers landed a bunch of us from the robotics team were sitting around watching the NASA channel and a news station sent a few people out to watch us watch the NASA channel and interview us about Dave. Not exactly FIRST related, but about a great engineer and the project he was involved with.

We have been invited to: our board of education, our township board meeting, to the governors office, to the Automation Alley Awards banquet. We have appeared on our local ABC TV station for the last three years. In 04 when we were on the winning alliance and helped build the "one day wonder robot" we were on TecTV and on CNN Live. For our Chairmans Award we pasted all of the newspaper articles that have been written about our team on a roll 18 inches wide, it ended up being over 20 feet long. The judges loved it as we tried to unroll it to show them and it would not fit in the room.

Bottom line is that lots of teams get recognized by their cities and local governments in the papers and on TV. BUT, just because this happens a lot does not take away any of the coolness that it has happened to you as well.

Congratulations! Enjoy the attention. You deserve it!
