I am so proud of G.R.R.'s rookies this year. They stuck with it and built an awesome robot and acted like a veteren team does. They are pictured with Mr. Becker, G.R.R.'s WFA nominee. A man that has worked so hard for both teams this year.

"The Rookies", as we call them did amazing well! They had an awesome robot, and they conducted themself with such great gracious professionalism!

They put up a few Keepers too; best "rookie" auton mode I've seen. Its amazing how seamlessly 340 split its team into 2 teams, producing 2 unique, great robots and giving thier students more hands-on experience with the build process.

We strive to start teams at the high schools of our members. Teams 1370 at Middletown HS and 1495 at Avon Grove (our largest contributors at the time, my Alma Mater and second FIRST team) are a couple of teams at high schools that used to contribute students to our team. This year we also started a VEX team for freshmen. Our enrollment is still close to our average (~35 students). However, with the local FLL Pipeline continuing to grow, who knows? You know how great ideas in FIRST spread, so MOE2 could be a future consideration. |

great team, great bot, great mentors, great town, and so on...
We should have a 12 team collaboration next year. let's see how hard it is to lose to an alliance of all the same robots as yours. that would be crazy! |

hopefully include one more to that list. :P I am thinking about a chassis of my own. make a mix of 179/1889, 234, 1126, 1369, and a few others. |

I really think the idea of g.r.r. 2 was a good one. Robotics this year at fairport high school has finally surpassed the size of our varisity football team and it will grow larger. Saying that we could consider splitting the team into two in the following years.
Maybe call it... Red Lightning. |

If you've got the mentor resources and the sanity, I highly recommend the split. Cheering in 15 matches on Friday was exhausting and exhilarating. Thursday night watching the two robots in a practice round together made my heart smile. The bouncing off of ideas was great, seeing so many people all working on something all the time was awesome.
I've said it before (maybe not here, since I'm a lurker) and I'll say it again, Splitting into two teams only brought us more together as a team. If you need help in pursuing this option, we'd love to help you out. :) |
