Needless to say I'm AMAZED at how well they all work as a team to overcome anything that gets in their way. Week after week, even at Lone Star, they continually surprise me. Even after the robot went up in smoke during the last match of finals, they pulled together and got everyone on the team though that hard time not leaving anyone without some sort of support.

And Stash, we love having you on the team. One thing I love about our team is when somebody new joins, they get treated like they've always been a part of it.

I'd love to talk to the mentors/founders/teachers of this team in person to gain some advice on how my team should move forward.

We would love to help you out. We're in Austin, TX and just PM for my contact info and you can come visit the team anytime (we meet tue, thur, and sat year round) if you just let me know. We're not going to be at FIRST World Championships and the next big event we're partaking in is NI Week. (Hey maybe you can come down and check out NI Week and at the same time hang out with our team.)
