I've been to two different high schools. And my school last year didn't have a team. So I started one.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

Next (school) year I'm transfering to the public high school in Nashua. They have a team (151), but I'm too loyal to 811 to join 151.. :)

Yeah, you'll still be in the same town, and they'd skin you (metaphorically speaking of course) if you defected to the cross-town rivals. 166, however, might be considered an even exchange. ;)

In my case, I moved an hour away and needed to find a closer team. I'd be loyal but driving to Nashua in the snow this year has convinced me that it's not quite a good idea. (That's why you saw me at Mayhem -- it was nice non-snowy weather.)

More on-topic, I only went to one high school (Locust Valley HS in Locust Valley, NY), and every year I look for their new FRC team only to be disappointed. I kinda wish they'd had FIRST when I was there, but then, when I graduated (1996), FIRST was only five years old and likely existed only in New England. What matters is I'm here now, I suppose. I would have liked to have been a student at some point rather than just a mentor, though.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

Team 836 is made up of all the high schools in the county and is based in the technical center which students from 3 high schools attend. And I have attended 2 of the 3 high schools in the county and the technical center for 3 years. So all of the high schools are connected to the team, but each school doesn't have its own team.

Hey,
Norwell, Mass has a Robotics Team. If you are at Nationals go to the #348 pit and you might remember some of us.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

I attended three high schools (military brat):
Bitburg American High School in Germany
Wyoming Valley West in PA
Rome Free Academy in NY

None of them have FIRST teams.
I'm working on changing that.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

Well, I've attended 2 high schools as well. The first school didnt have a first team and still doesnt, and the second school didnt have a team either (mainly because this was the first year the school was open) so we started one. (Have you ever been student body president of a brand new school and started a FIRST team at the same time?)

It is great that I have been given the opportunity to do all the things and meet all the people I have, but I feel it is important to bring back experiences and try to share with the people in one's hometown.

Tri-County Tech in Bartlesville has announced they will have a robotics team this year! This news probably deserves its own thread, I may post some pictures later. As stated before, I gave two presentations in summer of 2004 to start the first sparks. Summer 2005 team 476 graciously brought their robot and some students to give a presentation. Earlier this week I stopped Tri-County Tech to meet the new teacher. (I'm in town visiting my parents). On the way to her room I passed by their welding shop and machine shop. My jaw hit the floor. I gave the teacher some whitepapers from NEMO and discussed other things with her. I had a radio interview earlier this week and yesterday I gave two speeches, which lead to a third for a school interested in FLL. This town is booming with potential, I can't wait to see them mature. I would like to send a BIG thanks to Tonya Scott, Ken York, and the entire 476 team for their continued support for helping this Bartlesville team. Also thanks goes to Jack and Jane Sellers for helping organize efforts.

The first high school I attended, Stonewall Jackson, was in the stone ages when it came to technology with only 1 accessable computer lab in the entire building running old Pentium 2 era machines. Nothing in the technology field was supported.

Battlefield HS is the only school in Prince William County with a robotics team.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

nope, this is the only school that has ahd FIRST/FRC for me
