I like this one taken at Buckeye 2005. The event dates happened to fall on Easter weekend. Team 1308 from St. Ignatius High School would have missed all of its Friday afternoon matches without some quick help mustered by a few other teams.

Re: Inspirational photos
 

As you can see, I like this one...

Here is my entry... This man is an inspiration to me. He's overcome all sorts of obstacles in his life. It's not what I would call inspirational photography... but I think he still deserves a spot.

I love this one
it's off the FIRST website from a few years ago but I know the guys and it was great to see them like that (usually they didn't get along but the team made them not hate each other so much :))

A little photo I took that I thought turned out well.

I tried real hard but couldn't find any 'inspirational' pics of Chuck. Guess I was to busy taking them of robots. I'll check my pictures from PARC when I get home. This next picture isn't inspirational in of itself, but certainly the result there of.

Re: Inspirational photos
 

Here's a good one from this season.

Our students paid tribute to our lead teacher, Chris Byam. Chris has been a teaching mentor for the TechnoKats for 10 years, and has been an outstanding asset to our team. He is a friend to all teammates, while still being the "bad guy" when needed. This picture shows the respect the kids feel for Mr. Byam.

And of course, the first time 4 robots hanging on the same bar, at 1 time, during 2004


And our flight crew as 1236 makes it on the bar in that match as time expires to give us the 5 point win to advance us to the Semi-finals

The walker we designed for this kid with crippling disability. This is the first time he drove it around; his mother was crying and it was just emotional and overwhelming for the whole team.

Re: Inspirational photos
 

Almost all the guys on my team spiked their hair while the girls dyed it red and black. Our lead mentor and his wife even spiked their hair. It was amazing!

Re: Inspirational photos
 

Seeing Joe with spiked hair is just too funny :D

Here is a memorable photo for the few of us that experienced this rough ride back to the hotel at the championship event. And yes we actually rode back to the hotel like this and a few times we were scared due to that we heard police cars near by. Needless to say all of us wish we don't have to go through this experience again!

Hey,
someone asked for inspirational pics? :-D

First, the robot needed to meet him but, right after that...

We got down to some good fun....

And even his friends got in on the action!

Re: Inspirational photos
 

All I can say is: WOW.
The picture itself was very inpiring.
But this poster-effect that was added to it made it even more inspirational.
Good job on both ends!
Now all we need is for someone to mass produce these so I can hang it in my dorm room!

Re: Inspirational photos
 

This is a thread for posting inspirational photos, just as the subject title suggests.

1. I'm sure there are inspirational photos from the 2008 season that belong in this thread.

2. I wonder if this is worthy of a sticky so that folks know about it?

Re: Inspirational photos
 

I would like to add one.

Re: Inspirational photos
 

I'd say it is worthy of a sticky, this is an excellent place not only to post inspirational photos, but to see how FIRST touches others.


That is a perfect Inspirational Photo.

Just something I snapped at GLR this year. I dont know about everyone else but Jim Zondag, and the rest of 33, has always inspired me. Everyone who competes with him knows how fired up he gets. I think this is inspiring because it shows that while there may be a winning and losing aspect to FRC it is at its heart FUN regardless of if you are in #1 or number #81.

Also, did we ever get permission to use that picture (ie from the photographer as well as the primary subject?) I would like to use it but I do not want to violate their privacy.

Re: Inspirational photos
 

Words cannot describe how amazing that poster is.

This is a nice one too.

Re: Inspirational photos
 

My teammate has two really good inspirational photos,
but I have yet to get them from her.
Although, in the meantime I have a pretty good one, even though its team-biased (granted most of the pictures here are....)
Less inspirational, more Mentors:Thank-God-We-Have-Them:


And a cool poster (on that topic...) (also team biased);

200 FRC Championship Event, ATL
It was my first championship event and as I was making that first "run" from the center to the dome I had to stop and take this picture.

I think it is time for a little inspirational photos.

14 rookie teams came to Poly High School in Riverside on Saturday to build kit bots, 8 hours later 14 teams left with running robot drive trains and a boat load of confidence.
