2007 Brazilian Pilot
Today we had the first official FIRST competition here in Brazil - The Brazilian Pilot
Some friends from NJ, students and mentors from teams #75 and #2016, came here to visit us, get to know our tech school (ETEP) and check some of the regional out. I'd like to thank them, by the way. I'm very proud of my team's work. We are the regional winners, we got the Chairman's Award (just like our #75 mates) and Website Award.It's so exciting!! Bear in mind guys, specially the rookie ones, never give up on your dreams! Keep moving on no matter how tough things are!!! I hope FIRST keeps spreading here in Brazil and maybe we can see some of you guys in the next years. BE FIRST! |

Re: 2007 Brazilian Pilot
Congratulations to ETEP, Team 1382, for the Regional and Chairman's win!
I'd like to quote the introduction and conclusion paragraphs of our team's 2007 Chairman's Award essay to let you know how we feel: Quote:
Team 383 thanks all teams that made this exciting event, in special teams 1603 and 2266 for our finalist alliance - we did what we could, competing hard and fairly. Congratulations to team 2244 for their Engineering Inspiration award - that's a bunch of people that gets FIRST since the team's inception and are well on their way for a future Chairman's award - make us proud again! Of special note, I'd like to thank my students at 383. This year's group is fantastic, your work during the build season and especially in the regional was superb and I don't have words to describe how special you all are. In the last match of the competition, Final 2, with our alliance in need of a win to pull a third match, the opposing alliance managed to put a keeper in autonomous after many close misses. The three students with me on the field, Gabriel, Roberta and Mari immediately started to applaud them for their effort. In the heat of the battle I didn't realize they had done it and was only told after competition was over. I never got the chance to thank them. Knowing my students had such a spontaneous behavior with an opponent's success, even if it meant we would lose the regional, made my day - you guys are gracious professionals definition. It was by far my best moment in all eight years on FIRST. If asked, I would trade a National Chairman's Award win for having that moment again - without even blinking. A sincere thanks to all. |

Does anyone have a full awards list from the competition?

FIRST's awards list is complete. The blank awards were not given out because we had a pilot, not a regional. Wait for next year! |

Re: 2007 Brazilian Pilot
I wanted to thank all the Brazilian teams for being such gracious hosts and giving us such a welcome and amazing experience. I also want to thank 1382 for giving us a once in a life time experience to see true Brazilian culture. It is a shame I am a senior and won't get to go back with the team again. I hope to see all of you in Atlanta.

I should write a testimonial about how the last weeks spent along with Manoel and the whole team were simply some of the best of my entire life, but i don't feel emotionally ready now. |
